Journal Article
Tompsett, A., Ngoc ngo, L., Goodhead, I., Withers, S., & Latimer, J. (2019). Towards a clinically relevant model for investigation of host-microbe interactions in ventilator-associated pneumonia. Access Microbiology, 1(1A), https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.ac2019.po0422

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is amongst the most common healthcare-associated infections worldwide. Current understanding of the underlying mechanisms has focussed on either the microbiological or physiological elements but host-microbe inte...

Emerging roles of sympathetic nerves and inflammation in perivascular adipose tissue (2019)
Journal Article
Saxton, S., Withers, S., & Heagerty, A. (2019). Emerging roles of sympathetic nerves and inflammation in perivascular adipose tissue. Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 33(2), 245-259. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10557-019-06862-4

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is no longer recognised as simply a structural support for the vasculature, and we now know that PVAT releases vasoactive factors which modulate vascular function. Since the discovery of this function in 1991, PVAT... Read More about Emerging roles of sympathetic nerves and inflammation in perivascular adipose tissue.
