Understanding local differences in small-scale fisheries: A comparison of two fishing settlements in Antsiranana Bay, Northern Madagascar (2011)
Journal Article

The small - scale fishery in Antsiranana Bay, northern Madagascar, constitutes a very active industry with fishers using multiple methods based on traditional techniques. In this first study of the fishing activities in Antsiranana Bay, two villages...

Expression of lumican in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction Fragmentation of small leucine rich proteogly- cans (SLRPs), including decorin, biglycan, lumican, keratocan and fibromodulin, has been shown to occur in osteoarthritic articular cartilage (Melrose et al. 2008). We have previously sh... Read More about Expression of lumican in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA).

Logical and arithmetic circuits in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks (2011)
Journal Article

Excitation waves on a subexcitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) substrate can be manipulated by chemical variations in the substrate and by interactions with other waves. Symbolic assignment and interpretation of wave dynamics can be used to perform log... Read More about Logical and arithmetic circuits in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks.

β-catenin represses expression of the tumour suppressor 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase in the normal intestinal epithelium and colorectal tumour cells (2011)
Journal Article

Background: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) overexpression in colorectal cancer increases levels of its protumorigenic product prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The recently identified colorectal tumour suppressor 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catalyses p...

Signalling of DNA damage and cytokines across cell barriers exposed to nanoparticles depends on barrier thickness (2011)
Journal Article

The use of nanoparticles in medicine is ever increasing, and it is important to understand their targeted and non-targeted effects. We have previously shown that nanoparticles can cause DNA damage to cells cultured below a cellular barrier without cr...

The significance of shore height in intertidal macrobenthic seagrass ecology and conservation (2011)
Journal Article

Benthic faunal assemblages of an intertidal seagrass bed were sampled at three shore heights (LWN, MLW, LWS) at the mouth, mid-point and head of the Steenbok Channel in South Africa's premier seagrass site, the warm-temperate Knysna estuarine bay, Ga...

Macrobenthic assemblage structure in a cool-temperate intertidal dwarf eelgrass bed in comparison with those from lower latitudes (2011)
Journal Article

The evolution and ecology of latitudinal patterns in marine macrofaunal biodiversity and assemblage structure are contentious. With the aim of investigating the occurrence of such patterns in intertidal dwarf eelgrass beds (Nanozosteraspp.), those at... Read More about Macrobenthic assemblage structure in a cool-temperate intertidal dwarf eelgrass bed in comparison with those from lower latitudes.

Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides (2011)
Journal Article

Traditional microbiological techniques are used to provide reliable data on the rate and extent of kill for a range of biocides. However, such techniques provide very limited data regarding the initial rate of kill of fast-acting biocides over very s...

Colon tumour cells increase PGE 2 by regulating COX-2 and 15-PGDH to promote survival during the microenvironmental stress of glucose deprivation (2011)
Journal Article

Due to poor tumour-associated vasculature, tumour cells are subjected to a fluctuating microenvironment with periods of limited oxygen and glucose availability. Adaptive mechanisms to adverse microenvironments are important for tumour cell survival....
