Protein-templated semiconductor nanoparticle chains (2008)
Padalkar, Sonal, Hulleman, J, Kim, S M, Rochet, J C, Stach, E A, Stanciu, L
Cadmium sulfide and lead sulfide semiconducting nanoparticle chains have been fabricated for the first time by exploiting a general property of proteins, amyloidogenicity. The diameter of the CdS and...
Biotemplated synthesis of metallic nanoparticle chains on an alpha-synuclein fiber scaffold (2008)
Colby, Robert, Hulleman, J, Padalkar, Sonal, Rochet, J C, Stanciu, L
Biomolecular templates provide an excellent potential tool for bottom-up device fabrication. Self-assembling a-synuclein protein fibrils, the formation of which has been linked to Parkinson's...
Alpha-synuclein as a template for the synthesis of metallic nanowires (2007)
Padalkar, S, Hulleman, J, Deb, P, Cunzeman, K, Rochet, J C, Stach, E A, ...
Exploiting the concepts learnt from nature to build new nanomaterials from the bottom up is critical for the efficient design of complex nanodevices. We demonstrate for the first time that the...
Initial stages of sintering of alumina by thermo-optical measurements (2007)
Stanciu, L., Quach, D., Faconti, C., Groza, J.R., Raether, F.
The behavior of nanostructured and submicrometer alpha-Al2O3 powders during the initial stages of field-assisted sintering technique (FAST), conventional, and microwave sintering was investigated...
The effects of Mycobacterium vaccae on allergen-induced airway responses in atopic asthma (2003)
Camporota, L., Corkhill, A., Long, H., Lordan, J., Stanciu, L., Tuckwell, N., ...
T-helper (Th)2 cytokines play a central role in asthma. Therefore, a double-blind randomised study was conducted to investigate whether heat-killed Mycobacterium vaccae (SRL172), a potent...

A defective type 1 response to rhinovirus in atopic asthma
Papadopoulos, N, Stanciu, L, Papi, A, Holgate, S, Johnston, S
Background: Rhinoviruses (RVs) are the most frequent precipitants of the common cold and asthma exacerbations, but little is known about the immune response to these viruses and its potential...
