Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences (2009)
Journal Article
(2009). Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences. Parasitology, 1935 -1942. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182009006234There has been a recent shift in the literature on mosquito/Plasmodium interactions with an increasingly large number of theoretical and experimental studies focusing on their population biology and evolutionary processes. Ecological immunology of mo... Read More about Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences.
Environmental and spatial characterisation of bacterial community composition in soil to inform sampling strategies (2009)
Journal Article

Visual but not trigeminal mediation of magnetic compass information in a migratory bird (2009)
Journal Article
Zapka, M., Heyers, D., Hein, C. M., Engels, S., Schneider, N., Hans, J., …Mouritsen, H. (2009). Visual but not trigeminal mediation of magnetic compass information in a migratory bird. Nature, 461(7268), 1274-1277. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature08528Magnetic compass information has a key role in bird orientation1,2,3, but the physiological mechanisms enabling birds to sense the Earth’s magnetic field remain one of the unresolved mysteries in biology2,4. Two biophysical mechanisms have become est... Read More about Visual but not trigeminal mediation of magnetic compass information in a migratory bird.
FAU regulates carboplatin resistance in ovarian cancer (2009)
Journal Article
(2010). FAU regulates carboplatin resistance in ovarian cancer. Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, 49(1), 70-77. https://doi.org/10.1002/gcc.20721The development of chemotherapy resistance by cancer cells is complex, using different mechanisms and pathways. The gene FAU (Finkel-Biskis-Reilly murine sarcoma virus (FBR-MuSV)-associated ubiquitously expressed gene) was identified through function...

RACK-1 overexpression protects against goniothalamin-induced cell death (2009)
Journal Article
Inayat-Hussain, S., Wong, L., Chan, K., Rajab, N., Din, L., Harun, R., …Williams, G. (2009). RACK-1 overexpression protects against goniothalamin-induced cell death. Toxicology Letters, 191(2-3), 118-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2009.08.012Goniothalamin, a styryllactone, has been shown to induce cytotoxicity via apoptosis in several tumor cell lines. In this study, we have examined the potential role of several genes, which were stably transfected into T-cell lines and which regulate a...
