Lipoproteins play a central role in the development of atherosclerosis. High and low-density lipoproteins (HDL and LDL), known as 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol, respectively, remove and/or deposit lipids into the artery wall. Hence, insight into lipid...

Despite the importance of bovine neosporosis, relevant knowledge gaps remain concerning the pathogenic mechanisms of Neospora caninum. Infection of the placenta is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of the disease; however, very little is known abou...

Geophysical monitoring of simulated homicide burials for forensic investigations (2020)
Journal Article
Pringle, J., Stimpson, I., Wisniewski, K., Davenward, B., Heaton, V., Mirosch, N., …Jervis, J. (2020). Geophysical monitoring of simulated homicide burials for forensic investigations. Scientific reports, 10, Article 7544. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-64262-3

Finding hidden bodies, believed to have been murdered and buried, is problematic, expensive in terms of human resource and currently has low success rates for law enforcement agencies. Here we present, for the first time, ten years of multidisciplina... Read More about Geophysical monitoring of simulated homicide burials for forensic investigations.

Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin. (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin. Communications Biology, 206 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0203-7

Plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPases expel Ca2+ from the cytoplasm and are key regulators of Ca2+ homeostasis in eukaryotes. They are autoinhibited under low Ca2+ concentrations. Calmodulin (CaM)-binding to a unique regulatory domain releases the autoinhibit... Read More about Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin..
