A feasibility randomised controlled trial of a fibromyalgia self-management programme in a community setting with a nested qualitative study (FALCON): Study protocol (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex long-term condition associated with chronic widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems, memory and concentration difficulties and irritable bowel syndrome. Current guidelines for the treatment of FM recommend...

In vitro antifungal activity of Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark and leaf essential oils against Candida albicans and Candida auris (2020)
Journal Article

Candida infections are a significant source of patient morbidity and mortality. Candida albicans is the most common pathogen causing Candida infections. Candida auris is a newly described pathogen that is associated with multi-drug-resistant candidia...

Phosphorylation of Syntaxin‐1a by casein kinase 2α (CK2α) regulates presynaptic vesicle exocytosis from the reserve pool (2020)
Journal Article

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

Estragole is a natural constituent in herbs and spices and in products thereof such as essential oils or herbal teas. After cytochrome P450-catalyzed hydroxylation and subsequent sulfation, estragole acts as a genotoxic hepatocarcinogen forming DNA a...

The utility of three-dimensional models of paranasal sinuses to establish age, sex, and ancestry across three modern populations: A preliminary study (2020)
Journal Article

Technological advances have furthered the development and understanding of trace materials such that DNA and fingerprints have become the foundation of human identification. However, when a body undergoes damage such as in cases of arson, these metho...

Clusterin secretion is attenuated by the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in models of cartilage degradation (2020)
Journal Article

The protein clusterin has been implicated in the molecular alterations that occur in articular cartilage during osteoarthritis (OA). Clusterin exists in two isoforms with opposing functions, and their roles in cartilage have not been explored. The se...
