Undenatured type II collagen for knee osteoarthritis (2025)
Journal Article
Gupta, A., & Maffulli, N. (2025). Undenatured type II collagen for knee osteoarthritis. Annals of Medicine, 57(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1080/07853890.2025.2493306

Introduction:
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) leads to significant pain and reduced function and affects patients’ overall quality of life (QoL). Conservative modalities are the first line of management, resorting to surgery only if they fail. However, the... Read More about Undenatured type II collagen for knee osteoarthritis.

Bicruciate knee ligament deficiency is less harmful to the meniscus and chondral tissue than isolated cruciate injuries. (2025)
Journal Article
Piedade, S. R., Ferreira, D. M., & Maffulli, N. (2025). Bicruciate knee ligament deficiency is less harmful to the meniscus and chondral tissue than isolated cruciate injuries. The Knee, 55, 33-42. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2025.03.011

Simultaneous injury to both cruciate ligaments seriously compromises the kinematics of the knee joint. This study aims to retrospectively investigate the incidence of meniscus and chondral injuries and extra-articular injuries in a series of 25 conse...

Using Machine Learning Methods to Estimate Sea Surface DMS Concentration for Studying Seabird Movements (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, M., Benitez-Paez, F., Padge, O., Kishkinev, D., & Demšar, U. (2025, April). Using Machine Learning Methods to Estimate Sea Surface DMS Concentration for Studying Seabird Movements. Presented at 33rd GISRUK Conference 2025, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK

Dimethylsulphide (DMS) has been shown to play a vital role in foraging behaviour of seabirds and suggested as a key component of olfactory navigation, yet its spatial distribution remains poorly understood due to limited point-based sampling. This st... Read More about Using Machine Learning Methods to Estimate Sea Surface DMS Concentration for Studying Seabird Movements.

Within-host competition causes pathogen molecular evolution and perpetual microbiota dysbiosis. (2025)
Journal Article
Stevens, E. J., Li, J. D., Hector, T. E., Drew, G. C., Hoang, K., Greenrod, S. T., Paterson, S., & King, K. C. (2025). Within-host competition causes pathogen molecular evolution and perpetual microbiota dysbiosis. ISME Journal, Article wraf071. https://doi.org/10.1093/ismejo/wraf071

Pathogens newly invading a host must compete with resident microbiota. This within-host microbial warfare could lead to more severe disease outcomes or constrain the evolution of virulence. By passaging a widespread pathogen (Staphylococcus aureus) a... Read More about Within-host competition causes pathogen molecular evolution and perpetual microbiota dysbiosis..
