[HTML][HTML] Estimating cell diffusivity and cell proliferation rate by interpreting IncuCyte ZOOM™ assay data using the Fisher-Kolmogorov model

ST Johnston, ET Shah, LK Chopin… - BMC systems …, 2015 - Springer
Background Standard methods for quantifying IncuCyte ZOOM™ assays involve measurements
that quantify how rapidly the initially-vacant area becomes re-colonised with cells as a …

Self-assembly of nano-to macroscopic metal–phenolic materials

G Yun, QA Besford, ST Johnston… - Chemistry of …, 2018 - ACS Publications
The self-assembly of molecular building blocks into well-defined macroscopic materials is
desirable for developing emergent functional materials. However, the self-assembly of …

How much information can be obtained from tracking the position of the leading edge in a scratch assay?

ST Johnston, MJ Simpson… - Journal of the Royal …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Moving cell fronts are an essential feature of wound healing, development and disease. The
rate at which a cell front moves is driven, in part, by the cell motility, quantified in terms of the …

[HTML][HTML] Co-operation, competition and crowding: a discrete framework linking Allee kinetics, nonlinear diffusion, shocks and sharp-fronted travelling waves

ST Johnston, RE Baker, DLS McElwain… - Scientific Reports, 2017 - nature.com
Invasion processes are ubiquitous throughout cell biology and ecology. During invasion,
individuals can become isolated from the bulk population and behave differently. We present a …

Quantifying the effect of experimental design choices for in vitro scratch assays

ST Johnston, JV Ross, BJ Binder, DLS McElwain… - Journal of Theoretical …, 2016 - Elsevier
Scratch assays are often used to investigate potential drug treatments for chronic wounds
and cancer. Interpreting these experiments with a mathematical model allows us to estimate …

Mean-field descriptions of collective migration with strong adhesion

ST Johnston, MJ Simpson, RE Baker - Physical Review E, 2012 - APS
Random walk models based on an exclusion process with contact effects are often used to
represent collective migration where individual agents are affected by agent-to-agent …

Interpreting scratch assays using pair density dynamics and approximate Bayesian computation

ST Johnston, MJ Simpson, DLS McElwain… - Open …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Quantifying the impact of biochemical compounds on collective cell spreading is an essential
element of drug design, with various applications including developing treatments for …

An analytical approach for quantifying the influence of nanoparticle polydispersity on cellular delivered dose

ST Johnston, M Faria… - Journal of The Royal …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Nanoparticles provide a promising approach for the targeted delivery of therapeutic, diagnostic
and imaging agents in the body. However, it is not yet fully understood how the physico-…

Selective metal–phenolic assembly from complex multicomponent mixtures

…, Y Ju, QZ Zhong, ST Johnston… - … applied materials & …, 2019 - ACS Publications
Selective self-assembly in multicomponent mixtures offers a method for isolating desired
components from complex systems for the rapid production of functional materials. Developing …

[HTML][HTML] Spatio-temporal analysis of nanoparticles in live tumor spheroids impacted by cell origin and density

A Ahmed-Cox, E Pandzic, ST Johnston, C Heu… - Journal of Controlled …, 2022 - Elsevier
Nanoparticles hold great preclinical promise in cancer therapy but continue to suffer attrition
through clinical trials. Advanced, three dimensional (3D) cellular models such as tumor …
