- This paper resulted from an EPSRC funded multidisciplinary & collaborative project concerning the control of stem cell fate via mechanical manipulation (EP/H045848/1, £1,545,307). The work reported in the paper helped leverage investment of over £300,000 from RAE and Innovate UK for the establishment of a spin-out company (ProColl) who continue to collaborate on the development of new QC/QA protocols which exploit the work (Jonathan Widdowson, jonathan@procoll.co.uk). The paper also partly established the scientific basis of the EPSRC Platform Grant in Engineering Blood Diagnostics (EP/N013506/1, £999,726).
