3D Printing of Teeth from X-Ray Microtomography for the Purpose of Research and Training
(2021-03-31)Within dental education, there is a distinct need for hands-on pre-clinical training before a patient’s treatment is carried out for the first time. A combination of extracted teeth and artificial teeth (typodonts) are ... -
A 3Rs approach to tumour metastasis: investigating the role of cancer stem cells in the metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma using an in vitro microfluidic model
(2023)300,000 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are diagnosed every year, and around 30% of patients exhibit metastatic spread. Metastasis is a complex process by which cancer cells travel to a secondary site to form ... -
ABCB5 and the regulation of p16INK4a by non-coding RNA
(Queen Mary University of London, 12/11/2014)p16INK4a (p16) traps the cell at the restriction point of the cell cycle by binding to cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 thus preventing the phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRB). As p16 accumulates the cell stops ... -
Aberrant downstream mechanisms following depletion of KMT2C and KMT2D in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-03-20)Genomic sequencing of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumours has highlighted the existence of wide genetic diversity alongside frequent mutations in KRAS, TP53 and SMAD4. Within this heterogeneity many components ... -
Ability of Experimental Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cements (RMGICs) to Remineralise and Form Apatite on Immersion
(Queen Mary University of London, 2023)Background: Dental caries is one of the most common dental diseases that causing damage to the tooth structure. The best caries management strategy focuses on methods to improve the remineralising process. Several studies ... -
Abstract Representation of Music: A Type-Based Knowledge Representation Framework
(Queen Mary University of London, 08/01/2020)The wholesale efficacy of computer-based music research is contingent on the sharing and reuse of information and analysis methods amongst researchers across the constituent disciplines. However, computer systems for the ... -
Abstraction in Victorian Fiction
What does it mean to be abstract in literature, and how does abstraction surface, operate, and produce effects? Refusing to treat abstraction as a purely reductive concept, this thesis explores how four Victorian realist ... -
Abstractions and optimisations for model-checking software-defined networks
Software-Defined Networking introduces a new programmatic abstraction layer by shifting the distributed network functions(NFs)from silicon chips(ASICs)to a logically centralised (controller) program. And yet, controller ... -

Accelerated wear protocols for understanding clinical wear in modern hip prostheses
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-08-14)Success of total hip replacements is well reported however, failures as a result of wear processes and the biological response to these products continue to challenge the orthopaedic community. Lately, corrosion of metal ... -
Accelerated wear testing methodologies for total hip replacements.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2001)Over the last three decades tribological studies of polyethylene total hip replacements have been undertaken using a simplified model of normal walking. As hip prostheses are being implanted in younger and more active ... -
