Journal Article
(2011). Site-specific integration and expression of an anti-malarial gene in transgenic Anopheles gambiae significantly reduces Plasmodium infections. PloS one, e14587 -?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0014587

Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes have a devastating impact on global health and this is worsening due to difficulties with existing control measures and climate change. Genetically modified mosquitoes that are refractory to disease transmission are...

Journal Article
Forghany, S., Jones, R., Preece, S., Nester, C., & Tyson, S. (2010). Early observations of the effects of lateral wedge orthoses on lower limb muscle length and potential for exacerbating spasticity. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 34, 319--326. https://doi.org/10.3109/03093646.2010.504976

Lateral wedge orthoses are often prescribed to correct varus deformity after stroke. Spasticity is implicated in varus deformity and is caused by velocity-related muscle length changes, so a lateral wedge may affect spasticity by manipulating foot an...
