Radiography as a sociotechnical system – improving patient identification with a multi-level human factors approach (2022)
Journal Article

Irradiation of the wrong patient or wrong site is a reportable adverse event for hospitals. Improvement efforts to date have been narrowly targeted, often without consideration of wider contextual factors. This study applied a systems human factors/e...

Generation of red blood cells from stem cells: Achievements, opportunities and perspectives for malaria research (2022)
Journal Article

Parasites of the genus Plasmodium that cause malaria survive within humans by invasion of, and proliferation within, the most abundant cell type in the body, the red blood cell. As obligate, intracellular parasites, interactions between parasite and...

Production and Role of Molecular Hydrogen in Plants (2022)
Book

Molecular hydrogen (hydrogen gas; H2), is gaining prominence in the scientific literature as well as the popular media. Early pre-clinical and clinical studies suggest the use of H2 treatment for a wide range of human diseases, from COVID-19 to vario...

Maleidride biosynthesis - construction of dimeric anhydrides - more than just heads or tails (2022)
Journal Article

Covering: up to early 2022 Maleidrides are a family of polyketide-based dimeric natural products isolated from fungi. Many maleidrides possess significant bioactivities, making them attractive pharmaceutical or agrochemical lead compounds. Their unus...

Missense mutations in PIEZO1, which encodes the Piezo1 mechanosensor protein, define Er red blood cell antigens (2022)
Journal Article

Despite the identification of the high-incidence red cell antigen Era nearly 40 years ago, the molecular background of this antigen, together with the other 2 members of the Er blood group collection, has yet to be elucidated. Whole exome and Sanger... Read More about Missense mutations in PIEZO1, which encodes the Piezo1 mechanosensor protein, define Er red blood cell antigens.

Science & Theatre: Communicating Science and Technology with Performing Arts (2022)
Book

There has been a significant growth in initiatives involving theatre, drama and performance within a science communication context. Yet there is little scholarship exploring this phenonomenan from a science communication perspective.
Weitkamp and A... Read More about Science & Theatre: Communicating Science and Technology with Performing Arts.

Impaired mineral ion metabolism in a mouse model of targeted Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) deletion from vascular smooth muscle cells (2022)
Journal Article

Background
Impaired mineral ion metabolism is a hallmark of CKD–metabolic bone disorder. It can lead to pathologic vascular calcification and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Loss of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) e... Read More about Impaired mineral ion metabolism in a mouse model of targeted Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) deletion from vascular smooth muscle cells.

Cloning and expression of Burkholderia polyyne biosynthetic gene clusters in Paraburkholderia hosts provides a strategy for biopesticide development (2022)
Journal Article

Burkholderia have potential as biocontrol agents because they encode diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for a range of antimicrobial metabolites. Given the opportunistic pathogenicity associated with Burkholderia species, heterologous BGC expr...
