High hydrostatic pressure (HHP; 200 MPa for 15 min), liquid smoke (0.50%, v/v) and freezing (−80 °C, overnight) was used to eliminate Listeria monocytogenes in BHI broth, raw and smoked trout. The bactericidal effect of liquid smoke solutions (L9 and...

Nitric oxide, other reactive signalling compounds, redox, and reductive stress (2020)
Journal Article
Hancock, J., & Veal, D. (2021). Nitric oxide, other reactive signalling compounds, redox, and reductive stress. Journal of Experimental Botany, 72(3), 819-829. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eraa331

Nitric oxide (NO) and other reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are key signalling molecules in plants, but they do not work in isolation. NO is produced in cells, often increased in response to stress conditions, but many other reactive compounds used i...

Breath analysis for detection of viral infection, the current position of the field (2020)
Journal Article
Gould, O., Ratcliffe, N., Król, E., & de Lacy Costello, B. (2020). Breath analysis for detection of viral infection, the current position of the field. Journal of Breath Research, 14(4), https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7163/ab9c32

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of rapid, cost effective, accurate, and non-invasive testing for viral infections. Volatile compounds (VCs) have been suggested for several decades as fulfilling these criteria. However currently v...

Density functional theory in the prediction of mutagenicity: A perspective (2020)
Journal Article
Townsend, P. A., & Grayson, M. N. (2021). Density functional theory in the prediction of mutagenicity: A perspective. Chemical Research in Toxicology, 34(2), 179-188. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrestox.0c00113

As a field, computational toxicology is concerned with using in silico models to predict and understand the origins of toxicity. It is fast, relatively inexpensive, and avoids the ethical conundrum of using animals in scientific experimentation. In t...

SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging β-coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease that manifests primarily as a pulmonary infection that can rapidly progress into severe and acute respiratory distress in susceptible patients. Initial reports of severe pulmonary i... Read More about An overview of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and the importance of molecular hydrogen as an adjunctive therapy.

Targeting the ERG oncogene with splice-switching oligonucleotides as a novel therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2020)
Journal Article

Background: The ERG oncogene, a member of the ETS family of transcription factor encoding genes, is a genetic driver of prostate cancer. It is activated through a fusion with the androgen-responsive TMPRSS2 promoter in 50% of cases. There is therefor...
