A sensitive and rapid assay for homologous recombination in mosquito cells: impact of vector topology and implications for gene targeting (2001)
Journal Article
(2001). A sensitive and rapid assay for homologous recombination in mosquito cells: impact of vector topology and implications for gene targeting. BMC Genetics, 21 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2156-2-21

BACKGROUND: Recent progress in insect transgenesis has been dramatic but existing transposon-based approaches are constrained by position effects and potential instability. Gene targeting would bring a number of benefits, however progress requires a...

The implications of grassland and heathland management for the conservation of spider communities: a review (2001)
Journal Article
Bell, J. R., Philip Wheater, C., & Rod Cullen, W. (2001). The implications of grassland and heathland management for the conservation of spider communities: a review. Journal of Zoology, 255(3), 377-387. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0952836901001479

Both intensity and type of habitat management in grasslands and heathlands affect spider communities. With high intensity management, spider communities often lack diversity and are dominated by a few r-selected species affiliated with bare ground. L...

Fractalkine expression in human renal inflammation (2001)
Journal Article
Cockwell, P., Chakravorty, S. J., Girdlestone, J., & Savage, C. O. S. (2002). Fractalkine expression in human renal inflammation. Journal of Pathology, 196(1), 85-90. https://doi.org/10.1002/path.1010

Immune and inflammatory human renal disease is associated with heavy mononuclear cell infiltration. The trafficking of these cells to extravascular sites is directed by local production of chemokines. Fractalkine is the first described cell-surface a...

The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part II. Indirect effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis in field margins (2001)
Journal Article
Haughton, A. J., Bell, J. R., Boatman, N. D., & Wilcox, A. (2001). The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part II. Indirect effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis in field margins. Pest Management Science, 57(11), 1037-1042. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.389

We have examined the indirect effect of the herbicide glyphosate on the spider Lepthyphantes tenuis in field margins. Glyphosate was applied to a randomised block design field experiment comprising 360, 720 and 1440 g glyphosate AE ha−1 treatments an...

The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part I. Direct effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis under laboratory conditions (2001)
Journal Article
Haughton, A. J., Bell, J. R., Wilcox, A., & Boatman, N. D. (2001). The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part I. Direct effects on Lepthyphantes tenuis under laboratory conditions. Pest Management Science, 57(11), 1033-1036. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.388

We examined the toxic effects of glyphosate to adult female Lepthyphantes tenuis (Araneae, Linyphiidae), a common spider of agricultural habitats. The overspray technique was used to investigate the effect of the herbicide on forty individuals in eac... Read More about The effect of the herbicide glyphosate on non-target spiders: Part I.

Gene targeting in mosquito cells: a demonstration of 'knockout' technology in extrachromosomal gene arrays (2001)
Journal Article
(2001). Gene targeting in mosquito cells: a demonstration of 'knockout' technology in extrachromosomal gene arrays. BMC Genetics, 11-?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2156-2-11

BACKGROUND: Gene targeting would offer a number of advantages over current transposon-based strategies for insect transformation. These include freedom from both position effects associated with quasi-random integration and concerns over transgene in...

Potential role for monocyte chemotactic protein-4 (MCP-4) in monocyte/macrophage recruitment in acute renal inflammation (2001)
Journal Article
Chakravorty, S. J., Howie, A. J., Girdlestone, J., Gentle, D., & Savage, C. O. S. (2001). Potential role for monocyte chemotactic protein-4 (MCP-4) in monocyte/macrophage recruitment in acute renal inflammation. Journal of Pathology, 194(2), 239-246. https://doi.org/10.1002/path.877

The CC chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-4 (MCP-4), is an important chemoattractant for monocytes and T cells. Recent data indicate a role in renal inflammation. This study has used in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis of...

Imidazoline compounds protect against interleukin 1beta-induced beta-cell apoptosis. (2001)
Journal Article
Zaitsev, S. V., Appelskog, I. B., Kapelioukh, I. L., Yang, S. N., Köhler, M., Efendic, S., …Maarabouni, M. (2001). Imidazoline compounds protect against interleukin 1beta-induced beta-cell apoptosis. Diabetes, 50(suppl_1), Article S70. https://doi.org/10.2337/diabetes.50.2007.s70

Imidazoline compounds have been considered for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We have now investigated the effects of imidazolines on interleukin (IL)-1beta-induced beta-cell apoptosis and the signal transduction pathways involved. Inhibition of C...
