β‐Bisabolene, a sesquiterpene from the essential oil extract of opoponax (Commiphora guidottii), exhibits cytotoxicity in breast cancer cell lines (2015)
Journal Article

The essential oils from Commiphora species have for centuries been recognized to possess medicinal properties. Here, we performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry on the essential oil from opoponax (Commiphora guidotti) and identified bisabolene...

Novel nonadride, heptadride and maleic acid metabolites from the byssochlamic acid producer Byssochlamys fulva IMI 40021-an insight into the biosynthesis of maleidrides (2015)
Journal Article

The filamentous fungus Byssochlamys fulva strain IMI 40021 produces (+)-byssochlamic acid 1, its novel dihydroanalogue 2 and four related secondary metabolites. Agnestadrides A, 17 and B, 18 constitute a novel class of seven-membered ring, maleic anh...

The sorting of blood group‐active proteins during enucleation (2015)
Journal Article

Enucleation represents the critical stage during red blood cell development when the nucleus is extruded from an orthochromatic erythroblast in order to generate a nascent immature reticulocyte. Extrusion of the nucleus results in loss of a proportio... Read More about The sorting of blood group‐active proteins during enucleation.

Mouse mammary stem cells express prognostic markers for triple-negative breast cancer (2015)
Journal Article

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous group of tumours in which chemotherapy, the current mainstay of systemic treatment, is often initially beneficial but with a high risk of relapse and metastasis. There is currently... Read More about Mouse mammary stem cells express prognostic markers for triple-negative breast cancer.

Fighting polyglutamine disease by wrestling with SUMO (2015)
Journal Article

Spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an X-linked disease characterized by degeneration of motor neurons, muscle atrophy, and progressive weakness. It is caused by a polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the androgen receptor (AR), a transcription fact... Read More about Fighting polyglutamine disease by wrestling with SUMO.

The cytoskeletal binding domain of band 3 is required for multiprotein complex formation and retention during erythropoiesis (2015)
Journal Article

Band 3 is the most abundant protein in the erythrocyte membrane and forms the core of a major multiprotein complex. The absence of band 3 in human erythrocytes has only been reported once, in the homozygous band 3 Coimbra patient. We used in vitro cu...
