In previous work, Gardiner et al. (1999) found evidence for a discrepancy between the Teff obtained from Balmer lines with that from photometry and fundamental values for A-type stars. An investigation into this anomaly is presented using Balmer line... Read More about On the anomaly of Balmer line profiles of A-type stars. Fundamental binary systems.

This review considers aspects of remyelination that require further clarification if successful strategies are to be devised to enhance remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS). We speculate, based on our understanding of the rate with which oligoden...

Journal Article
Carter, E. L. (2002). Proportional Representation and the Fortunes of Right-Wing Extremist Parties. West European Politics, 25(3), 125-146. https://doi.org/10.1080/713601617

This article examines the relationship between electoral systems and extremist political parties. Focusing on the West European parties of the extreme right, it first investigates the extent to which district magnitude and electoral formula - the two...

RBM5/LUCA-15 — Tumour Suppression by Control of Apoptosis and the Cell Cycle? (2002)
Journal Article

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

Fractalkine expression on human renal tubular epithelial cells: potential role in mononuclear cell adhesion (2002)
Journal Article

Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is a transmembrane molecule with a CX3C chemokine domain attached to an extracellular mucin stalk which can induce both adhesion and migration of leucocytes. Mononuclear cell infiltration at renal tubular sites and associated tub...

Modelling large areas of demyelination in the rat reveals the potential and possible limitations of transplanted glial cells for remyelination in the CNS (2002)
Journal Article

Transplantation of myelin-forming glial cells may provide a means of achieving remyelination in situations in which endogenous remyelination fails. For this type of cell therapy to be successful, cells will have to migrate long distances in normal ti...
