A 3D Approach in Quantification of the Alveolar Bone Changes After Dental Implant Placement Based On CBCT Images
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-07-04)This retrospective clinical study aimed: (1) to establish and validate a reproducible geometrical measurement strategy in quantifying peri-implant alveolar bone changes based on CBCT images taken before and one year after ... -
AEOLIAN ENTRAINMENT THRESHOLDS IN A DEVELOPING BOUNDARY LAYER
(Queen Mary University of London, 1986)The aeolian threshold condition is identified as defining the critical state between a static sediment bed and active aeolian transport. Disparities in reported mean threshold shear velocities (U*T) are attributed to ... -
Annexin A1 as an endogenous regulator of mast cell degranulation.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015)Annexin A1 (Anx-A1) is a 37kDa protein that is secreted by some cells in response to glucocorticoids (GCs) and which mediates several of their acute anti-inflammatory effects. In addition to GCs, ‘mast cell stabilising ... -
Audiences' willingness to participate in Welsh-language media

Characterisation of a novel in vitro model of Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) through stable PTCH1 suppression in immortalised human keratinocytes
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013)Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin is predominantly associated with mutational inactivation of the PTCH1 tumour suppressor gene resulting in constitutive activation of the Hedgehog (HH) developmental pathway. Tumour ... -
The characterisation of human T cells in health and disease; Do V9V2 T cells play a role in the pathogenesis of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (BRONJ)?
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-08)Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (BRONJ) is a chronic necrosis of the jawbone that occurs in 1-5% of patients receiving bisphosphonate medication for conditions such as osteoporosis and certain cancers. ... -
The Chemical Degradation of Denture Soft Lining Materials: A Study of The Interactions Between Denture Soft Lining Materials And Food Simulating Liquids
(2006)Denture soft lining materials are used as a cushion between the hard denture base and the oral mucosa. Fluid sorption and solubility may contribute to material hardening, roughening, cracking or tearing, loss of adhesion ... -
