Chemotherapeutics-induced Oct4 expression contributes to drug resistance and tumor recurrence in bladder cancer (2016)
Journal Article
Wu. (2016). Chemotherapeutics-induced Oct4 expression contributes to drug resistance and tumor recurrence in bladder cancer. Oncotarget, 30844-30858. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.9602

Cancer cells initially characterized as sensitive to chemotherapy may acquire resistance to chemotherapy and lead to tumor recurrence through the expansion of drug-resistant population. Acquisition of drug resistance to conventional chemotherapy is a... Read More about Chemotherapeutics-induced Oct4 expression contributes to drug resistance and tumor recurrence in bladder cancer.

Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology heart failure nurse curriculum. (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology heart failure nurse curriculum. European Journal of Heart Failure, 736-743. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.568

Recent advances in care and management of heart failure have improved outcome, largely as a result of the developing evidence basis for medications, implantable devices and the organization of heart failure follow-up. Such developments have also incr... Read More about Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology heart failure nurse curriculum..

Fuel for the work required: A practical approach to amalgamating train-low paradigms for endurance athletes (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Fuel for the work required: A practical approach to amalgamating train-low paradigms for endurance athletes. Physiological Reports, https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.12803

Using an amalgamation of previously studied “train-low” paradigms, we tested the effects of reduced carbohydrate (CHO) but high leucine availability on cell-signaling responses associated with exercise-induced regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis a...

Effects of transthyretin on thyroxine and ß-amyloid removal from cerebrospinal fluid in mice. (2016)
Journal Article
Chen, R., Chen, C. P., & Preston, J. E. (2016). Effects of transthyretin on thyroxine and ß-amyloid removal from cerebrospinal fluid in mice. Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 43(9), 844-850. https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1681.12598

Transthyretin (TTR) is a binding protein for the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4 ), retinol and ß-amyloid peptide. TTR aids the transfer of T4 from the blood to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but also prevents T4 loss from the blood-CSF barrier. It is...
