Subramani K, Birch M
Biomed Mater . 2008 May; 1(3):144-54. PMID: 18458396
The aims of this study were to fabricate poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel micropatterns on a biomaterial surface to guide osteoblast behaviour and to study how incorporating vascular endothelial growth factor...

Aldridge S, Lennard T, Williams J, Birch M
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2005 Aug; 335(3):793-8. PMID: 16105658
Osteoclasts are derived from haematopoietic stem cell precursors of the monocyte/macrophage cell lineage, through interaction with factors that are believed to include M-CSF and RANKL. VEGF is a proangiogenic cytokine...

Aldridge S, Lennard T, Williams J, Birch M
Br J Cancer . 2005 Apr; 92(8):1531-7. PMID: 15812559
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a proangiogenic cytokine that is expressed highly in many solid tumours often correlating with a poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the expression...

Lind T, McKie N, Wendel M, Racey S, Birch M
Bone . 2005 Mar; 36(3):408-17. PMID: 15777654
During bone formation, there are numerous pivotal changes in the interrelationships between osteoblasts and molecules of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Consequently, the mechanisms that underlie the temporal and spatial distribution...
