Carbenoxolone-mediated cytotoxicity inhibits Vaccinia virus replication in a human keratinocyte cell line (2018)
Journal Article
Haga, I. R., Simpson, J. L., Hawes, P. C., & Beard, P. M. (2018). Carbenoxolone-mediated cytotoxicity inhibits Vaccinia virus replication in a human keratinocyte cell line. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 16956. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-34732-w

The re-emergence of poxviral zoonotic infections and the threat of bioterrorism emphasise the demand for efective antipoxvirus therapies. Here, we show that carbenoxolone, a pharmacological inhibitor of gap junction function and a compound widely...

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor increases hepatic macrophage content, liver growth, and lipid accumulation in neonatal rats (2018)
Journal Article
Beard. (2018). Macrophage colony-stimulating factor increases hepatic macrophage content, liver growth, and lipid accumulation in neonatal rats. American journal of physiology. Gastrointestinal and liver physiology, G388 - G398. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpgi.00343.2017

Signaling via the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) controls the survival, differentiation, and proliferation of macrophages. Mutations in CSF1 or CSF1R in mice and rats have pleiotropic effects on postnatal somatic growth. We tested the p...
