Modelling large areas of demyelination in the rat reveals the potential and possible limitations of transplanted glial cells for remyelination in the CNS (2002)
Journal Article
Blakemore, W., Chari, D., Gilson, J., & Crang, A. (2002). Modelling large areas of demyelination in the rat reveals the potential and possible limitations of transplanted glial cells for remyelination in the CNS. Glia, 38(2), 155-168. https://doi.org/10.1002/glia.10067

Transplantation of myelin-forming glial cells may provide a means of achieving remyelination in situations in which endogenous remyelination fails. For this type of cell therapy to be successful, cells will have to migrate long distances in normal ti...

A widely quoted hypothesis for the failure of remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the exhaustion of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) pool that is strongly implicated as the source of remyelinating oligodendrocytes in demyelinating le...

Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes (2001)
Journal Article
Luscombe, C. J., French, M. E., Liu, S., Saxby, M. F., Jones, P. W., Fryer, A. A., & Strange, R. C. (2001). Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes. British journal of cancer, 85, 1504 - 1509. https://doi.org/10.1054/bjoc.2001.2097

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation may reduce prostate cancer risk, suggesting that polymorphism in genes that mediate host pigmentation will be associated with susceptibility to this cancer. We studied 210 prostate cancer cases and 155 controls to de... Read More about Prostate cancer risk: associations with ultraviolet radiation, tyrosinase and melanocortin-1 receptor genotypes.

Simultaneous identification of GSTP1 Ile105-->Val105 and Ala114-->Val114 substitutions using an amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction assay: studies in patients with asthma (2001)
Journal Article
Hemmingsen, A., Fryer, A. A., Hepple, M., Strange, R. C., & Spiteri, M. A. (2001). Simultaneous identification of GSTP1 Ile105-->Val105 and Ala114-->Val114 substitutions using an amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction assay: studies in patients with asthma. Respiratory Research, 255 -260. https://doi.org/10.1186/rr64

BACKGROUND
The glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme GSTP1 utilizes byproducts of oxidative stress. We previously showed that alleles of GSTP1 that encode the Ile105-->Val105 substitution are associated with the asthma phenotypes of atopy and bronc...

Depletion of endogenous oligodendrocyte progenitors rather than increased availability of survival factors is a likely explanation for enhanced survival of transplanted oligodendrocyte progenitors in X‐irradiated compared to normal CNS (2001)
Journal Article
Hinks, G. L., Chari, D. M., T. O'Leary, M., Zhao, C., Keirstead, H. S., Blakemore, W. F., & Franklin, R. J. M. (2001). Depletion of endogenous oligodendrocyte progenitors rather than increased availability of survival factors is a likely explanation for enhanced survival of transplanted oligodendrocyte progenitors in X‐irradiated compared to normal CNS. Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 27(1), 59-67. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.0305-1846.2001.00303.x

Oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) survive and migrate following transplantation into adult rat central nervous system (CNS) exposed to high levels of X-irradiation but fail to do so if they are transplanted into normal adult rat CNS. In the context o...

Polymorphisms of apolipoprotein E; outcome and susceptibility in multiple sclerosis (2000)
Journal Article
Weatherby, S., Mann, C., Davies, M., Carthy, D., Fryer, A., Boggild, M., …Hawkins, C. (2000). Polymorphisms of apolipoprotein E; outcome and susceptibility in multiple sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis, 6(1), 32-36. https://doi.org/10.1191/135245800678827464

Allelic variants of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene influence the course of several neurological diseases. In multiple sclerosis the concentration of APOE in cerebrospinal fluid and its intrathecal synthesis is reduced. Specific isoforms of APOE may...
