Ajay E, Thompson A, Azees A, Wise A, Grayden D, Fallon J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Sep; 14(1):21028. PMID: 39251630
Novel stimulation methods are needed to overcome the limitations of contemporary cochlear implants. Optogenetics is a technique that confers light sensitivity to neurons via the genetic introduction of light-sensitive ion...

Azees A, Thompson A, Thomas R, Zhou J, Ruther P, Wise A, et al.
Hear Res . 2023 Nov; 440:108911. PMID: 37977051
For individuals with severe to profound hearing loss resulting from irreversibly damaged hair cells, cochlear implants can be used to restore hearing by delivering electrical stimulation directly to the spiral...

Matarazzo J, Ajay E, Payne S, Trang E, Thompson A, Marroquin J, et al.
Front Neurosci . 2023 Jun; 17:1190662. PMID: 37360169
Introduction: Electrical stimulation offers a drug-free alternative for the treatment of many neurological conditions, such as chronic pain. However, it is not easy to selectively activate afferent or efferent fibers...

Richardson R, Thompson A, Wise A, Ajay E, Gunewardene N, OLeary S, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 May; 11(1):11229. PMID: 34045604
Optical stimulation is a paradigm-shifting approach to modulating neural activity that has the potential to overcome the issue of current spread that occurs with electrical stimulation by providing focused stimuli....

Maliszewska I, Wanarska E, Thompson A, Samuel I, Matczyszyn K
Molecules . 2021 Jan; 26(3). PMID: 33504099
Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern that is driving the exploration of alternative ways of killing bacteria. Here we show that gold nanoparticles synthesized by the mycelium of are an...

Thompson A, Wise A, Hart W, Needham K, Fallon J, Gunewardene N, et al.
J Neural Eng . 2020 Oct; 17(5):056046. PMID: 33036009
Objective: Compared to electrical stimulation, optogenetic stimulation has the potential to improve the spatial precision of neural activation in neuroprostheses, but it requires intense light and has relatively poor temporal...

Hart W, Richardson R, Kameneva T, Thompson A, Wise A, Fallon J, et al.
J Neural Eng . 2020 Jan; 17(1):016069. PMID: 31923907
Objective: The performance of neuroprostheses, including cochlear and retinal implants, is currently constrained by the spatial resolution of electrical stimulation. Optogenetics has improved the spatial control of neurons in vivo...

Natrajan G, Hall D, Thompson A, Gutsche I, Terradot L
Mol Microbiol . 2007 Aug; 65(4):995-1005. PMID: 17683397
In prokaryotes, DNA replication is initiated by the binding of DnaA to the oriC region of the chromosome to load the primosome machinery and start a new replication round. Several...
