Effect of morpholino-mediated knockdowns of oncofetal RNA-binding proteins on cancer cell biology (2024)
Thesis

Background: Muscleblind-like 3 (MBNL3) and insulin-like growth factor 2 binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) are two RNA-binding proteins that are considered oncofetal genes. The cancer cell-specific expression of oncofetal genes suggests a potential therapeu...

A study into the biological activity and therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen and oxyhydrogen gases (2024)
Thesis

Molecular hydrogen (H2) and oxyhydrogen (66% H2/ 33% O2) gases can remediate the effects of numerous diseases in adults. By acting as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidative agent, it is reported that H2 administration can improve recovery through mi...

Development of biological recognition elements for the detection of the genome of cocoa swollen shoot virus (2024)
Thesis

Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) is the main threat to chocolate production in West Africa. Infection causes a decrease in bean production yield and can cause tree death within three years, causing socio-economic damage to small-holding farmers.

C... Read More about Development of biological recognition elements for the detection of the genome of cocoa swollen shoot virus.

Assessment of antimicrobial resistance surveillance systems in Nigeria (2024)
Thesis

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the top ten public health threats worldwide. This problem is further compounded by poor surveillance and oftentimes lack of good quality data to enable accurate estimation and description of the magnitude (prev...

Investigation of novel screen-printed electrochemical sensors for measuring 17-βeta-Estradiol in an aqueous environment (2024)
Thesis

The hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) is increasingly prevalent in environmental waters globally, posing a significant threat to human and animal health due to its adverse effects on endocrine functions. Traditional methods of analysing E2 are complex and t... Read More about Investigation of novel screen-printed electrochemical sensors for measuring 17-βeta-Estradiol in an aqueous environment.

Studies on the pathogenesis of cacao swollen shoot virus to enhance the theobroma cacao l. Quarantine procedures with appendicies (2024)
Thesis

Theobroma cacao (cocoa) is an economically important crop and the source of one of the world’s most consumed products, chocolate; an industry valued at USD 103 billion per annum. Pests and diseases pose a major threat to cocoa production, affecting y... Read More about Studies on the pathogenesis of cacao swollen shoot virus to enhance the theobroma cacao l. Quarantine procedures with appendicies.

Investigating the in-situ production and processing of aquatic fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2024)
Thesis

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the largest reservoirs of carbon on the planet, and is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. It plays an essential role in global biogeochemical cycles and the transport and storage of carbon through the hydr...

Oral microbial diversity in health: An ethnic comparative study (2024)
Thesis

This work involved two key phases: an in-vitro study and a clinical trial (in-vivo) study. The in-vitro study compared the antimicrobial properties of an oral formulation containing 5% potassium nitrate and 0.24% sodium fluoride to 1% chlorohexidine...

Understanding the chemotherapy-induced bystander effect; an evaluation of the role of cytokine storm in an in-vitro model of the human bone marrow (2024)
Thesis

The phenomenon of donor cell leukaemia (DCL) occurs following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but its aetiology is currently unknown. Previous work within the research group identified a chemotherapy-induced bystander effect (CIBE) i...

The development of small-scale, low-cost biofilm treatment systems for the control of pathogens in fresh water (2023)
Thesis

Water that is contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms, can cause disease. Despite advances in the provision of safe drinking water, an estimated 580 million people lack consistent access to safe water whilst the consumption of biologically contam...

The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline (2023)
Thesis

Cases of the current episode of Acute Oak Decline (AOD) were first described in the UK in 2008 on native British oaks, but currently this disease is seen to affect most species of oak on a global scale. The disease has become a focus of forest resear... Read More about The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline.
