Laser speckle contrast imaging: theoretical and practical limitations

…, T Stromberg, OB Thompson - … of biomedical optics, 2013 - spiedigitallibrary.org
When laser light illuminates a diffuse object, it produces a random interference effect known
as a speckle pattern. If there is movement in the object, the speckles fluctuate in intensity. …

[HTML][HTML] Non-invasive detection of anaemia using digital photographs of the conjunctiva

S Collings, O Thompson, E Hirst, L Goossens… - PloS one, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Background and Aims Anaemia is a major health burden worldwide. Although the finding of
conjunctival pallor on clinical examination is associated with anaemia, inter-observer …

[PDF][PDF] Top-down inhibition of BMP signaling enables robust induction of hPSCs into neural crest in fully defined, xeno-free conditions

JOS Hackland, TJR Frith, O Thompson, AM Navarro… - Stem cell reports, 2017 - cell.com
Defects in neural crest development have been implicated in many human disorders, but
information about human neural crest formation mostly depends on extrapolation from model …

Human axial progenitors generate trunk neural crest cells in vitro

TJR Frith, I Granata, M Wind, E Stout, O Thompson… - Elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.35786.001 The neural crest (NC) is a multipotent embryonic cell population that
generates distinct cell types in an axial position-dependent manner. The production of NC …

[HTML][HTML] Low rates of mutation in clinical grade human pluripotent stem cells under different culture conditions

O Thompson, F von Meyenn, Z Hewitt… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The occurrence of repetitive genomic changes that provide a selective growth advantage in
pluripotent stem cells is of concern for their clinical application. However, the effect of …

Tissue perfusion measurements: multiple-exposure laser speckle analysis generates laser Doppler–like spectra

OB Thompson, MK Andrews - Journal of biomedical optics, 2010 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Variations in skin perfusion are easily detected by laser speckle contrast maps, but a robust
interpretation of the information has been lacking. We show that multiple-exposure laser …

Correction for spatial averaging in laser speckle contrast analysis

O Thompson, M Andrews, E Hirst - Biomedical optics express, 2011 - opg.optica.org
Practical laser speckle contrast analysis systems face a problem of spatial averaging of
speckles, due to the pixel size in the cameras used. Existing practice is to use a system factor in …

[HTML][HTML] Multisite phosphorylation disrupts arginine-glutamate salt bridge networks required for binding of cytoplasmic linker-associated protein 2 (CLASP2) to end …

…, H Pemble, A Schönichen, O Thompson… - Journal of Biological …, 2012 - ASBMB
A group of diverse proteins reversibly binds to growing microtubule plus ends through
interactions with end-binding proteins (EBs). These +TIPs control microtubule dynamics and …

[HTML][HTML] Depletion of the actin bundling protein SM22/transgelin increases actin dynamics and enhances the tumourigenic phenotypes of cells

O Thompson, JS Moghraby, KR Ayscough, SJ Winder - BMC cell biology, 2012 - Springer
Background SM22 has long been studied as an actin-associated protein. Interestingly,
levels of SM22 are often reduced in tumour cell lines, while they are increased during …

Androgen-regulated transcription of ESRP2 drives alternative splicing patterns in prostate cancer

…, I Ehrmann, KE Livermore, H Zielinska, O Thompson… - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.47678.001 Prostate is the most frequent cancer in men. Prostate cancer
progression is driven by androgen steroid hormones, and delayed by androgen deprivation …
