Have you seen our reel with @NicholasTHFarr on how we're preventing another vaginal mesh scandal yet?
We’re grateful to researchers like Nicholas Farr at Sheffield University helping to make medical devices safer for patients. #mesh
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. 👍

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. ⬇️

📄🚨 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

New publication update!🚨Amidst the holiday festivities we celebrated the release of our most recent study:
🌐 doi.org/10.1002/advs.2023065…
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. ⤵️

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. 🤝

Featured on the hub this morning, a new study by @NicholasTHFarr et al into the effect of implanting polypropylene surgical mesh into patients pslhub.org/learn/improving-p… #pslhub #mesh #patientsafety
Always a pleasure to engage and share our research. Many thanks to @KathSansom for taking an active interest and proposing the questions.

A Q&A with researcher @NicholasTHFarr "There's still a lot we don’t know about how our bodies respond to medical implants. Our study is just the start of what we hope will be more work into this area." slingthemesh.co.uk/the-impac… @EmmaHardyMP @PSCommissioner @mariacaulfield
🚨 New publication alert
🔑 This is the first study which has investigated the residual material properties of Titanium-coated polypropylene mesh post clinical deployment.

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

Synthesis of #CarbonDots 👩🏼🔬scientific cooperation @JoannaOrtyl @NicholasTHFarr Results are coming soon ⏳📑
Really proud to have collaborated on "The Secrets of Size: Going Small" which will premiere this evening on BBC4 at 9pm. Radio Times have called it 'stunning' and having seen some of the imagery it contains I would absolutely agree. @msesheffield #AcademicTwitter
I am pleased to share my new paper. This study presents an enhanced biomaterial characterisation methodology, which can be implemented to allow for greater quality assurance in the development of future biomaterials. @insigneo @Materials_mdpi @msesheffield
