Journal Article
Notley, C. A., Brown, M. A., Wright, G. P., & Ehrenstein, M. R. (2011). Natural IgM Is Required for Suppression of Inflammatory Arthritis by Apoptotic Cells. The journal of immunology : official journal of the American Association of Immunologists, 186(8), 4967-4972. https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.1003021

The clearance of dying cells is vital for re-establishing tolerance during inflammation and has potent immunoregulatory consequences. Because natural IgM plays a key role in the removal of apoptotic cells, we investigated whether the immune modulator...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, R., Lockett, H., & Vasantha, G. A. (2011, May). Industry Practices and Challenges in Using Product in Use Data to Inform PSS Conceptual Design. Presented at The 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product-Service Systems, Braunschweig, Germany

Both Product-Service System (PSS) literature and industry express a need to close the design loop by feeding product-in-use data to conceptual design. Nevertheless, how to actually accomplish this for PSS Conceptual Design is largely absent. This pap...

The evolution of cooperation often depends upon population structure, yet nearly all models of cooperation implicitly assume that this structure remains static. This is a simplifying assumption, because most organisms possess genetic traits that affe... Read More about The concurrent evolution of cooperation and the population structures that support it.
