Clinical recognition of symptomatic midfoot osteoarthritis: findings from the clinical assessment study of the foot (2014)
Journal Article
Thomas, M., Roddy, E., Rathod, T., Moore, A., Menz, H., & Peat, G. (2014). Clinical recognition of symptomatic midfoot osteoarthritis: findings from the clinical assessment study of the foot. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 22, S386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2014.02.720

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common yet poorly understood cause of disabling foot pain. In the absence of radiographic confirmation of OA, clinical diagnosis in primary care is inhibited by lack of evidence informing clinical examination. This s...

Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions (2014)
Journal Article
Channon, A. (2014). Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions. Nature communications, 3742 -?. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4742

Variation of mutation rate at a particular site in a particular genotype, in other words mutation rate plasticity (MRP), can be caused by stress or ageing. However, mutation rate control by other factors is less well characterized. Here we show that...
