New paper published 📄 “Characterization of oxidative stress induced particle debris from polypropylene surgical mesh" I would very much like to express my thanks to my collaborators from @UQHealth and colleagues in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. doi.org/10.1002/nano.2…

Have you seen our reel with @NicholasTHFarr on how we're preventing another vaginal mesh scandal yet?

Fantastic to see that our most recent article has received significant coverage today from mainstream news sources, including @itvnews, @MailOnline, and @Independent. A huge thank you to all my colleagues for their contributions to this study. 👍 sheffield.ac.uk/news/vaginal-m…

Very pleased to see that a commentary piece I authored for Medscape has been published online today: “Safety Under Scrutiny: A Call to Enhance Preclinical Testing”. Check it out! 🗞 medscape.co.uk/viewarticle/sa… @insigneo @SheffUniEng @msesheffield

Excellent to see that our clinical outlook article has today been published in @NatRevUrol. As we develop more advanced medical devices, it's crucial that our pre-clinical testing follows the same trajectory. ⬇️ rdcu.be/dGoFc @insigneo @msesheffield @SheffUniEng

📄🚨 Our latest paper uncovers the role of Macrophages to alter PP mesh surfaces. In turn as surface degradation occurs, macrophages modify gene expression, leading to a mixed response with upregulated pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic markers. @insigneo sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New publication update!🚨Amidst the holiday festivities we celebrated the release of our most recent study: 🌐 doi.org/10.1002/advs.2… Many thanks to all the co-authors who contributed to this study. Here’s to more discoveries, collaboration, and growth in the upcoming year.

My most recent publication is now available open access to all! ✅ This study investigates the application of plasma modification for surgical mesh, showing the potential to mediate craze formation and susceptibility to mechano-chemical stress. ⤵️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Does the quality of your FIB etching keep you up at night? 🤔 Check out our recent paper for an effective monitoring method! 👍 Many thanks to Maciej (ExxonMobil/Uni of Antwerp) and Alex (NYSBC) for their valuable contributions. 🤝 @Polymers_MDPI researchgate.net/publication/37…

More effective testing of medical devices benefits clinicians, manufacturers and most importantly patients. Please read my thoughts below ⬇️ @insigneo @msesheffield

Always a pleasure to engage and share our research. Many thanks to @KathSansom for taking an active interest and proposing the questions. @insigneo @msesheffield

@MahonySharron @UQHealth Hi Sharron, this study focuses on the materials science aspect of PP mesh degradation. Future studies will have to consider if such oxidative wear particles have any impact to cells and/or tissues. Cheers

🚨 New publication alert  🔑 This is the first study which has investigated the residual material properties of Titanium-coated polypropylene mesh post clinical deployment.  🤝 @msesheffield, Düren Hospital and University of Witten Herdecke 📎 doi.org/10.1002/jbm.b.… @insigneo

RT @DiamondLightSou: Positively "beam"-ing 😃

An absolute pleasure to be back at the @DiamondLightSou running more #ptychography scans of 3D printed scaffolds. Also fantastic to be joined this time by David and Andrea. All smiles despite the late nights! @msesheffield @RoyceSheffield @insigneo
