Monoclonal antibodies directed to fucoidan preparations from brown algae. (2015)
Journal Article
Torode, T., Marcus, S., Jam, M., Tonon, T., Blackburn, R., Hervé, C., & Knox, J. (2015). Monoclonal antibodies directed to fucoidan preparations from brown algae. PloS one, e0118366 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0118366

Cell walls of the brown algae contain a diverse range of polysaccharides with useful bioactivities. The precise structures of the sulfated fucan/fucoidan group of polysaccharides and their roles in generating cell wall architectures and cell properti...

Triaging informative cis -regulatory elements for the combinatorial control of temporal gene expression during Plasmodium falciparum intraerythrocytic development (2015)
Journal Article
Horrocks. (2015). Triaging informative cis -regulatory elements for the combinatorial control of temporal gene expression during Plasmodium falciparum intraerythrocytic development. Parasites and Vectors, 81 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-015-0701-0

BackgroundOver 2700 genes are subject to stage-specific regulation during the intraerythrocytic development of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Bioinformatic analyses have identified a large number of over-represented motifs in the 5...

Conformational Changes during Pore Formation by the Perforin-Related Protein Pleurotolysin (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Conformational Changes during Pore Formation by the Perforin-Related Protein Pleurotolysin. PLoS Biology, e1002049 - e1002049. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002049

Membrane attack complex/perforin-like (MACPF) proteins comprise the largest superfamily of pore-forming proteins, playing crucial roles in immunity and pathogenesis. Soluble monomers assemble into large transmembrane pores via conformational transiti... Read More about Conformational Changes during Pore Formation by the Perforin-Related Protein Pleurotolysin.

Stimulus intensity determines experience-dependent modifications in neocortical neuron firing rates. (2015)
Journal Article
Glazewski, S., & Barth, A. L. (2015). Stimulus intensity determines experience-dependent modifications in neocortical neuron firing rates. European Journal of Neuroscience, 41(4), 410 - 419. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.12805

Although subthreshold inputs of neocortical sensory neurons are broadly tuned, the spiking output is more restricted. These subthreshold inputs provide a substrate for stimulus intensity-dependent changes their spiking output, as well as for experien...

G-Quadruplexes in Pathogens: A Common Route to Virulence Control? (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). G-Quadruplexes in Pathogens: A Common Route to Virulence Control?. PLOS pathogens a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Public Library of Science, e1004562 -?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004562

DNA can form several secondary structures besides the classic double helix: one that has received much attention in recent years is the G-quadruplex (G4). This is a stable four-stranded structure formed by the stacking of quartets of guanine bases. R... Read More about G-Quadruplexes in Pathogens: A Common Route to Virulence Control?.

Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research (2015)
Journal Article
Kishkinev, D. A., & Chernetsov, N. S. (2015). Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research. Успехи современной биологии / Biology Bulletin Reviews, 5(1), 46-62. https://doi.org/10.1134/s2079086415010041

At least two independent systems of magnetoreception are currently believed to exist in birds, based on different biophysical principles, located in different parts of their bodies, and with different neuroanatomical mechanisms. One magnetoreceptory... Read More about Magnetoreception systems in birds: A review of current research.

Is Scots Pine a Successful Invader in Contemporary Bog? (2015)
Presentation / Conference
(2015, January). Is Scots Pine a Successful Invader in Contemporary Bog?. Presented at International Proceedings of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering, Milan

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) invading a floating bog (Wybunbury Moss National Nature Reserve, Cheshire, UK) was studied. Seed germination, establishment and tolerance to waterlogging were investigated. Vegetation type and topography were the most...

Targeting male mosquito mating behaviour for malaria control (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Targeting male mosquito mating behaviour for malaria control. Parasites and Vectors, 347. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-015-0961-8

Malaria vector control relies heavily on the use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). These, together with the combined drug administration efforts to control malaria, have reduced the death toll to less than...

Draft Genomes, Phylogenetic Reconstruction, and Comparative Genomics of Two Novel Cohabiting Bacterial Symbionts Isolated from Frankliniella occidentalis. (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Draft Genomes, Phylogenetic Reconstruction, and Comparative Genomics of Two Novel Cohabiting Bacterial Symbionts Isolated from Frankliniella occidentalis. Genome Biology and Evolution, 2188 - 2202. https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evv136

Obligate bacterial symbionts are widespread in many invertebrates, where they are often confined to specialized host cells and are transmitted directly from mother to progeny. Increasing numbers of these bacteria are being characterized but questions...
