Imaging of activated complement using ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (USPIO) - conjugated vectors: an in vivo in utero non-invasive method to predict placental insufficiency and abnormal fetal brain development (2014)
Journal Article
Girardi, G., Fraser, J., Lennen, R., Vontell, R., Jansen, M., & Hutchison, G. (2015). Imaging of activated complement using ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (USPIO) - conjugated vectors: an in vivo in utero non-invasive method to predict placental insufficiency and abnormal fetal brain development. Molecular Psychiatry, 20(8), 1017-1026. https://doi.org/10.1038/mp.2014.110

In the current study, we have developed a magnetic resonance imaging-based method for non-invasive detection of
complement activation in placenta and foetal brain in vivo in utero. Using this method, we found that anti-complement
C3-targeted ultras... Read More about Imaging of activated complement using ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (USPIO) - conjugated vectors: an in vivo in utero non-invasive method to predict placental insufficiency and abnormal fetal brain development.

Nanoparticle interactions with zinc and iron: Implications for toxicology and inflammation (2007)
Journal Article
Wilson, M. R., Foucaud, L., Barlow, P. G., Hutchison, G. R., Sales, J., Simpson, R. J., & Stone, V. (2007). Nanoparticle interactions with zinc and iron: Implications for toxicology and inflammation. Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 225(1), 80-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.taap.2007.07.012

Particulate air pollution (PM10) consists of a mixture of components, including nanoparticles and metals. Studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that transition metals can potentiate the ability of nanoparticles to induce lung inflammation and...
