Context. Theoretically, rotation-induced chemical mixing in massive stars has far reaching evolutionary consequences, affecting the sequence of morphological phases, lifetimes, nucleosynthesis, and supernova characteristics. Aims. Using a sample o... Read More about The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: XXV. Surface nitrogen abundances of O-type giants and supergiants⋆⋆⋆.

Electrophysiological assessment of primary cortical neurons genetically engineered using iron oxide nanoparticles (2017)
Journal Article
Evans, M., Shakli, A., Jenkins, S., & Chari, D. (2017). Electrophysiological assessment of primary cortical neurons genetically engineered using iron oxide nanoparticles. Nano Research, 2881-2890. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12274-017-1496-4

The development of safe technologies to genetically modify neurons is of great interest in regenerative neurology, for both translational and basic science applications. Such approaches have conventionally been heavily reliant on viral transduction m...

Brief pain re-assessment provided more accurate prognosis than baseline information for low-back or shoulder pain (2017)
Journal Article
Jordan, Dunn, & Van Der Windt. (2017). Brief pain re-assessment provided more accurate prognosis than baseline information for low-back or shoulder pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-017-1502-8

Background Research investigating prognosis in musculoskeletal pain conditions has only been moderately successful in predicting which patients are unlikely to recover. Clinical decision making could potentially be improved by combining information...
