A step-by-step method for producing 3D crania models from CT data (2020)
Journal Article
Robles, M., Carew, R. M., Morgan, R. M., & Rando, C. (2020). A step-by-step method for producing 3D crania models from CT data. Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, 23, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fri.2020.200404

Objectives: Modern computed tomography (CT) databases offer a valuable resource for obtaining skeletal reconstructions and contemporary population data. However, researchers may not utilise CT data due to limited funds for proprietary modelling softw... Read More about A step-by-step method for producing 3D crania models from CT data.

Hydrogenases and the role of molecular hydrogen in plants (2020)
Journal Article
Russell, G., Zulfiqar, F., & Hancock, J. T. (2020). Hydrogenases and the role of molecular hydrogen in plants. Plants, 9(9), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants9091136

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been suggested to be a beneficial treatment for a range of species, from humans to plants. Hydrogenases catalyze the reversible oxidation of H2, and are found in many organisms, including plants. One of the cellular effect...

Phosphorylation of Syntaxin‐1a by casein kinase 2α (CK2α) regulates presynaptic vesicle exocytosis from the reserve pool (2020)
Journal Article
Shi, V. (., Craig, T. J., Bishop, P., Nakamura, Y., Rocca, D., Wilkinson, K. A., & Henley, J. M. (2021). Phosphorylation of Syntaxin‐1a by casein kinase 2α (CK2α) regulates presynaptic vesicle exocytosis from the reserve pool. Journal of Neurochemistry, 156(5), 614-623. https://doi.org/10.1111/jnc.15161

The t-soluble NSF-attachment protein receptor protein Syntaxin-1a (Stx-1a) is abundantly expressed at pre-synaptic terminals where it plays a critical role in the exocytosis of neurotransmitter-containing synaptic vesicles. Stx-1a is phosphorylated... Read More about Phosphorylation of Syntaxin‐1a by casein kinase 2α (CK2α) regulates presynaptic vesicle exocytosis from the reserve pool.

Estragole: DNA adduct formation in primary rat hepatocytes and genotoxic potential in HepG2-CYP1A2 cells (2020)
Journal Article
