Studies on the Pd-catalyzed dimerization of silacyclobutanes (2015)
Journal Article
Aborways, M., & Moran, W. (2015). Studies on the Pd-catalyzed dimerization of silacyclobutanes. Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 797, 57-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jorganchem.2015.07.040

Dimerization of silacyclobutanes has been achieved under palladium catalysis at room temperature. A previous report described the requirement for high temperature and a stoichiometric amount of palladium complex to effect this process.

Longevity and skeletal muscle mass: the role of IGF signalling, the sirtuins, dietary restriction and protein intake (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Longevity and skeletal muscle mass: the role of IGF signalling, the sirtuins, dietary restriction and protein intake. Aging cell, 511 - 523. https://doi.org/10.1111/acel.12342

Advancing age is associated with a progressive loss of skeletal muscle (SkM) mass and function. Given the worldwide aging demographics, this is a major contributor to morbidity, escalating socio-economic costs and ultimately mortality. Previously, it...

Is alcohol consumption in older adults associated with poor self-rated health? Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2015)
Journal Article
Frisher, M., Mendonça, M., Shelton, N., Pikhart, H., de Oliveira, C., & Holdsworth, C. (2015). Is alcohol consumption in older adults associated with poor self-rated health? Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. BMC Public Health, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-015-1993-x

Background Increases in alcohol related mortality and morbidity have been reported among older people in England over the last decade. There is, however, evidence that drinking is protective for some health conditions. The validity of this evidence...

Hybrid nanoparticles are composed of more than one material fused together to increase functionality. These often consist of polymers coated onto the surface of metallic nanoparticles to render them useful in biomedicine [1,2]. In this chapter the te...

Immortalisation with hTERT Impacts on Sulphated Glycosaminoglycan Secretion and Immunophenotype in a Variable and Cell Specific Manner. PloS one, 10(7), Article e0133745. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0133745

BACKGROUND: Limited options for the treatment of cartilage damage have driven the development of tissue engineered or cell therapy alternatives reliant on ex vivo cell expansion. The study of chondrogenesis in primary cells is difficult due to progre...
