Highly delayed systemic translocation of aluminium-based adjuvant in CD1 mice following intramuscular injections (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Highly delayed systemic translocation of aluminium-based adjuvant in CD1 mice following intramuscular injections. Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 199-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2015.07.004

Concerns regarding vaccine safety have emerged following reports of potential adverse events in both humans and animals. In the present study, alum, alum-containing vaccine and alum adjuvant tagged with fluorescent nanodiamonds were used to evaluate...

Na (+)/H (+)exchange in the tumour microenvironment: does NHE1 drive breast cancer carcinogenesis? (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Na (+)/H (+)exchange in the tumour microenvironment: does NHE1 drive breast cancer carcinogenesis?. International Journal of Developmental Biology, 367 -377. https://doi.org/10.1387/ijdb.140336lf

Ionic messengers signal several critical events in carcinogenesis, including metastasis, the leading cause of patient mortality. The aberrant metabolic, proliferative and anti-apoptotic nature of neoplastic cells can be traced to the abnormal express...

Large-scale migration synchrony between parasitoids and their host (2015)
Journal Article
PÉREZ-RODRÍGUEZ, J., SHORTALL, C. R., & BELL, J. R. (2015). Large-scale migration synchrony between parasitoids and their host. Ecological Entomology, 40(5), 654-659. https://doi.org/10.1111/een.12241

1. Parasitoids are a valuable group for conservation biological control. In their role as regulators of aphid pests, it is critical that their lifecycle is synchronised with their hosts in both space and time. This is because a synchronised parasitoi...

Quinolone resistance and ornithine decarboxylation activity in lactose-negative Escherichia coli (2015)
Journal Article
Gomig, F., Galvão, C. W., Freitas, D. L. D., Labas, L., Etto, R. M., Esmerino, L. A., Lima, M. A. D., Appel, M. H., Zanata, S. M., Steffens, M. B. R., Nader, H. B., & Silveira, R. B. D. (2015). Quinolone resistance and ornithine decarboxylation activity in lactose-negative Escherichia coli. Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 46(3), 753-757. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1517-838246320131291

Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are widely used to treat uropathogenic Escherichia coli infections. Bacterial resistance to these antimicrobials primarily involves mutations in gyrA and parC genes. To date, no studies have examined the potential rela... Read More about Quinolone resistance and ornithine decarboxylation activity in lactose-negative Escherichia coli.

The 6-OHDA mouse model of Parkinson's disease - Terminal striatal lesions provide a superior measure of neuronal loss and replacement than median forebrain bundle lesions. (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). The 6-OHDA mouse model of Parkinson's disease - Terminal striatal lesions provide a superior measure of neuronal loss and replacement than median forebrain bundle lesions. Behavioural Brain Research, 107 -117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2015.03.058

Unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway produce side-biased motor impairments that reflect the motor deficits seen in Parkinson's disease (PD). This toxin-induced model in the rat has been used widely, to evaluate p...

Case-Control Study of Risk Factors for Sporadic Giardiasis and Parasite Assemblages in North West England (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Case-Control Study of Risk Factors for Sporadic Giardiasis and Parasite Assemblages in North West England. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 3133 - 3140. https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00715-15

Giardia duodenalis is a major cause of infectious gastroenteritis worldwide, and it is diversified into eight genetic assemblages (A to H), which are distinguishable only by molecular typing. There is some evidence that the assemblages infecting huma... Read More about Case-Control Study of Risk Factors for Sporadic Giardiasis and Parasite Assemblages in North West England.

Bumblebee pupae contain high levels of aluminium (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Bumblebee pupae contain high levels of aluminium. PloS one, e0127665 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.+pone.0127665

The causes of declines in bees and other pollinators remains an on-going debate. While recent attention has focussed upon pesticides, other environmental pollutants have largely been ignored. Aluminium is the most significant environmental contaminan... Read More about Bumblebee pupae contain high levels of aluminium.

A large-scale proteogenomics study of apicomplexan pathogens-Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). A large-scale proteogenomics study of apicomplexan pathogens-Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. Proteomics, 2618 -2628. https://doi.org/10.1002/pmic.201400553

Proteomics data can supplement genome annotation efforts, for example being used to confirm gene models or correct gene annotation errors. Here, we present a large-scale proteogenomics study of two important apicomplexan pathogens: Toxoplasma gondii...

X-Ray Crystal Structure and Properties of Phanta, a Weakly Fluorescent Photochromic GFP-Like Protein (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). X-Ray Crystal Structure and Properties of Phanta, a Weakly Fluorescent Photochromic GFP-Like Protein. PloS one, e0123338 - e0123338. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0123338

Phanta is a reversibly photoswitching chromoprotein (FF, 0.003), useful for pcFRET, that was isolated from a mutagenesis screen of the bright green fluorescent eCGP123 (FF, 0.8). We have investigated the contribution of substitutions at positions His... Read More about X-Ray Crystal Structure and Properties of Phanta, a Weakly Fluorescent Photochromic GFP-Like Protein.
