Scoping potential routes to UK civil unrest via the food system: Results of a structured expert elicitation (2023)
Journal Article

We report the results of a structured expert elicitation to identify the most likely types of potential food system disruption scenarios for the UK, focusing on routes to civil unrest. We take a backcasting approach by defining as an end-point a soci... Read More about Scoping potential routes to UK civil unrest via the food system: Results of a structured expert elicitation.

Gut bacteria promote proliferation in benign S/RG/C2 colorectal tumour cells, and promote proliferation, migration and invasion in malignant HCT116 cells (2023)
Journal Article

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health burden with a rising incidence worldwide. Distinct bacterial populations are associated with CRC development and progression, and it is thought that the relationship between CRC and associated gu...

The role of the state for managing voluntary food sustainability standards democratically (2023)
Journal Article

We have investigated the role of the state in the creation of democratic alternatives to private voluntary food sustainability standards (VFSS). Our study illustrates the complex relationship between civil society (in this case, the Participatory Gua...

Aging in females is associated with changes in respiratory modulation of sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure (2023)
Journal Article

Sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is tightly coupled with the respiratory cycle. In healthy human males, respiratory modulation of SNA does not change with age. However, it is unclear how this modulation is affected by age in females. We investigated...

The therapeutic potential of oxyhydrogen gas in oncology: A study on Epstein–Barr Virus-immortalised B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells (2023)
Journal Article

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. B-cells are a keystone of the adaptive immune response and are essential for the presentation of tumor-associated antigens to various types of T-cells. Approximately 1.5% of global cancer cases, inclu... Read More about The therapeutic potential of oxyhydrogen gas in oncology: A study on Epstein–Barr Virus-immortalised B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells.
