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.
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...

PfeIK1, a eukaryotic initiation factor 2a kinase of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, regulates stress-response to amino-acid starvation (2009)
Journal Article
Russo. (2009). PfeIK1, a eukaryotic initiation factor 2a kinase of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, regulates stress-response to amino-acid starvation. Malaria Journal, 99 - 99. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-8-99Background: Post-transcriptional control of gene expression is suspected to play an important role in malaria parasites. In yeast and metazoans, part of the stress response is mediated through phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation fact...
