Journal Article
Lawson, J. S., Syme, H. M., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & Elliott, J. (2019). Characterisation of Crandell-Rees Feline Kidney (CRFK) cells as mesenchymal in phenotype. Research in Veterinary Science, 127, 99-102. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rvsc.2019.10.012

The Crandell-Rees Feline Kidney Cell (CRFK) is an immortalised cell line derived from the feline kidney that is utilised for the growth of certain vaccinal viruses. Confusion exists as to whether CRFK are epithelial or mesenchymal in phenotype. The a... Read More about Characterisation of Crandell-Rees Feline Kidney (CRFK) cells as mesenchymal in phenotype.

Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by ATP-analogues (2019)
Journal Article
Patel, J. J., Bourne, L. E., Millán, J. L., Arnett, T. R., MacRae, V. E., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & Orriss, I. R. (2019). Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by ATP-analogues. Purinergic Signalling, 15(3), 315-326. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11302-019-09672-3

Arterial medial calcification (AMC) has been associated with phenotypic changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) that reportedly makes them more osteoblast-like. Previous work has shown that ATP/UTP can inhibit AMC directly via P2 receptors an... Read More about Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by ATP-analogues.

Differing calcification processes in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts (2019)
Journal Article
Patel, J. J., Bourne, L. E., Davies, B. K., Arnett, T. R., MacRae, V. E., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & Orriss, I. R. (2019). Differing calcification processes in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts. Experimental Cell Research, 380(1), 100-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2019.04.020

Arterial medial calcification (AMC) is the deposition of calcium phosphate mineral, often as hydroxyapatite, in the medial layer of the arteries. AMC shares some similarities to skeletal mineralisation and has been associated with the transdifferenti...
