Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moorehead, A., Adams, C., Stinson, M., Porter-Armstrong, A., Gardner, E., Donnelly, J., Deegan, S., Nixon, J., Bader, D., & Lyder, C. Exploring the application of ultrasound technology in pressure ulcer prevention – an international multidisciplinary team study. Presented at European Tissue Repair Society: Joint meeting with the Tissue Viability Unit, St Georges' Bay, Malta

Introduction: High frequency ultrasound (HFUS) can create real-time two-dimensional images of internal structures to examine the first few centimetres depth of sub-dermal soft tissue, thus may have the potential to detect tissue changes in pressure u...

NMDA receptor function in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is dependent on β1 integrins (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramage, L., Hardingham, G., & Salter, D. (2008, September). NMDA receptor function in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is dependent on β1 integrins. Presented at 2008 World Congress on Osteoarthritis, Rome, Italy

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with abnormal loading of articular joints. In normal joints physiological loading maintains structure and function of cartilage and chondrocytes within. This is mediated by a process known as mechanotransduc... Read More about NMDA receptor function in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is dependent on β1 integrins.
