An in vitro model for analysing neutrophil migration into and away from the sub-endothelial space: Roles of flow and CD31 (2006)
Journal Article
Chakravorty, S. J., McGettrick, H. M., Butler, L. M., Buckley, C. D., Rainger, G. . E., & Nash, G. B. (2006). An in vitro model for analysing neutrophil migration into and away from the sub-endothelial space: Roles of flow and CD31. Biorheology, 43(1), 71-82

To model the later stages of neutrophil migration into tissue, we developed an assay in which human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured on porous filters, treated with the inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), and t...

Isolation of genes controlling apoptosis through their effects on cell survival (2006)
Journal Article
Williams, G. T., Hughes, J. P., Stoneman, V., Anderson, C. L., McCarthy, N. J., Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., …Farzaneh, F. (2006). Isolation of genes controlling apoptosis through their effects on cell survival. Gene Therapy and Molecular Biology, 10(28), 255-262

The identification of the most suitable molecular targets for gene and drug therapy is the crucial first step in the development of new disease treatments. The rational identification of such targets depends on a detailed understanding of the patholo... Read More about Isolation of genes controlling apoptosis through their effects on cell survival.

The antiapoptotic RBM5/LUCA-15/H37 gene and its role in apoptosis and human cancer: Research update (2006)
Journal Article
Maarabouni, M. M., & Williams, G. T. (2006). The antiapoptotic RBM5/LUCA-15/H37 gene and its role in apoptosis and human cancer: Research update. Scientific World Journal, 1705 - 1712. https://doi.org/10.1100/tsw.2006.268

The candidate tumour-suppressor gene, LUCA-15/RBM5/H37, maps to the lung cancer tumour-suppressor locus 3p21.3. The LUCA-15 gene locus encodes at least four alternatively spliced transcripts that have been shown to function as regulators of apoptosis...

The effect of Plasmodium falciparum infection on expression of monocyte surface molecules (2006)
Journal Article
Jenkins, N., Chakravorty, S., Urban, B., Kai, O., Marsh, K., & Craig, A. (2006). The effect of Plasmodium falciparum infection on expression of monocyte surface molecules. Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 100(11), 1007-1012. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trstmh.2006.01.005

Plasmodium falciparum infection may result in severe malaria in susceptible individuals. The pathogenesis of severe disease is probably a combination of the sequestration of infected erythrocytes and overstimulation of the immune response. Monocytes...

Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa with convergent behaviours: dynamic properties of ballooning silk in turbulent flows (2006)
Journal Article
Reynolds, A., Bohan, D., & Bell, J. (2006). Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa with convergent behaviours: dynamic properties of ballooning silk in turbulent flows. Biology Letters, 2(3), 371–373. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2006.0486

We present a new model of ballooning behaviour in arthropods in which draglines are regarded as being extendible and completely flexible. Our numerical simulations reveal that silk draglines within turbulent flows can become twisted and stretched int...

Introduction The associations between the immatures of Anopheles gambiae s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae), its M and S forms, and Anopheles arabiensis among and within larval breeding habitats in Banambani, Mali were investigated under varying conditions o...

Candidate tumor suppressor LUCA-15/RBM5/H37 modulates expression of apoptosis and cell cycle genes (2006)
Journal Article
Mourtada-Maarabouni, M., Keen, J., Clark, J., Cooper, C. S., & Williams, G. T. (2006). Candidate tumor suppressor LUCA-15/RBM5/H37 modulates expression of apoptosis and cell cycle genes. Experimental Cell Research, 312(10), 1745-1752. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2006.02.009

RBM5 (RNA-binding motif protein 5/LUCA-15/H37) is encoded at the lung cancer tumor suppressor locus 3p21.3 and itself has several important characteristics of a tumor suppressor, including both potentiation of apoptosis and inhibition of the cell cyc...
