Recent advances in microalgae, insects, and cultured meat as sustainable alternative protein sources (2023)
Journal Article

It is estimated that the world will need an extra 265 million tons of protein by the middle of this century, which is approximately 50 % more than today. Efforts are currently underway to find sustainable protein sources for keepin... Read More about Recent advances in microalgae, insects, and cultured meat as sustainable alternative protein sources.

Detecting sleep‐related breathing disorders using overnight pulse oximetry in patients with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

AbstractBackgroundSleep disturbance is commonly reported in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Lewy body dementia (LBD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Early identification of sleep changes is crucial as poor sleep could contribute to cognitive decline a...

An N-cyanoamide derivative of lithocholic acid co-operates with lysophosphatidic acid to promote human osteoblast (MG63) differentiation (2023)
Journal Article

Less-calcaemic vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonists have the potential to promote osteoblast maturation in a bone regenerative setting. The emergence of lithocholic acid (LCA) as a bona fide VDR agonist holds promise as an adjunct for arthroplasty follo...

Impact of 3-PLY facemasks on the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by the oral microbiome (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Wearing of facemasks has transcended the era of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and has gradually become incorporated into fashion and our daily lives, especially in large gatherings and public spaces. However, prolonged usage of masks has been... Read More about Impact of 3-PLY facemasks on the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by the oral microbiome.

Ventilatory efficiency is reduced in people with hypertension during exercise (2023)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: An elevated ventilatory efficiency slope during exercise (minute ventilation/volume of expired CO2; VE /VCO2 slope) is a strong prognostic indicator in heart failure. It is elevated in people with heart failure with preserved ejection, ma... Read More about Ventilatory efficiency is reduced in people with hypertension during exercise.

Teaching data analysis to life scientists using “R” statistical software: Challenges, opportunities, and effective methods (2023)
Book Chapter

Data analysis is one of the most important and empowering transferable skills that a scientist can possess; yet many life scientists find statistics a daunting subject that they perceive as difficult to master. In this paper, we reflect on our experi... Read More about Teaching data analysis to life scientists using “R” statistical software: Challenges, opportunities, and effective methods.

Genotoxicity of cytokines at chemotherapy-induced 'storm' concentrations in a model of the human bone marrow (2023)
Journal Article

Donor cell leukaemia (DCL) is a complication of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation where donated cells become malignant within the patient's bone marrow. As DCL predominates as acute myeloid leukaemia, we hypothesized that the cytokine storm fo...
