Effect of gender on blood pressure and heart rate variability during increasing intensities of isometric hand grip exercise in untrained adults (2014)
Journal Article
Niyi-Odumosu, F., & Meah, M. S. (in press). Effect of gender on blood pressure and heart rate variability during increasing intensities of isometric hand grip exercise in untrained adults. Journal of Physiology, Proc Physiol Soc 31, PCA126(312),

Gender has been shown to affect Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) (Winsley et al., 2003). Measures of autonomic neural control of heart rate have indicated that women may have a higher parasympathetic and less sympathetic control o...

Loss-of-function mutations in MICU1 cause a brain and muscle disorder linked to primary alterations in mitochondrial calcium signaling (2014)
Journal Article
Duchen, M. R., Sewry, C. A., Den Dunnen, J. T., Niks, E. H., Santen, G. W., Morgan, J. E., …Sheridan, E. (2014). Loss-of-function mutations in MICU1 cause a brain and muscle disorder linked to primary alterations in mitochondrial calcium signaling. Nature Genetics, 46(2), 188-193. https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.2851

Mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake has key roles in cell life and death. Physiological Ca 2+ signaling regulates aerobic metabolism, whereas pathological Ca 2+ overload triggers cell death. Mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake is mediated by the Ca 2+ uniporter comple...

Cross-regulation of Connexin43 and β-catenin influences differentiation of human neural progenitor cells (2014)
Journal Article
Rinaldi, F., Hartfield, E. M., Crompton, L. A., Badger, J. L., Glover, C. P., Kelly, C. M., …Caldwell, M. A. (2014). Cross-regulation of Connexin43 and β-catenin influences differentiation of human neural progenitor cells. Cell Death and Disease, 5(1), Article e1017. https://doi.org/10.1038/cddis.2013.546

Connexin43 (Cx43) is the most widely and abundantly expressed gap junction (GJ) protein and it is strongly associated with the regulation of cell cycle progression. Emerging roles for Cx43 in cell adhesion and migration during neural differentiation...
