Research on the environmental risks of gene flow from genetically modified (GM) crops to wild relatives has traditionally emphasized recipients yielding most hybrids. For GM rapeseed (Brassica napus), interest has centred on the 'frequently hybridizi... Read More about Spontaneous gene flow from rapeseed (Brassica napus) to wild Brassica oleracea.

We previously observed that stimulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation with growth factors is associated with dismantling of cadherin junctions and nuclear translocation of β-catenin. In this study we demonstrate directly that gr...

There is current interest in managing and manipulating 137Cs transfer from soil to plants. We hypothesized that N source might affect Cs uptake by plants and report experiments that confirm this. Uptake experiments using hydroponics with a variety of...

Presence of WT1 in nuclear messenger RNP particles in the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562 (2006)
Journal Article

The WT1 gene is a key player in acute myeloid leukaemia, in which it is frequently over-expressed. WT1 encodes a multifunctional zinc finger protein transcription factor, which also binds mRNA. Thus increasing evidence suggests that WT1 works both at... Read More about Presence of WT1 in nuclear messenger RNP particles in the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562.

Linear and non-linear stability thresholds for thermal convection in a box (2006)
Journal Article

We analyse the problem of finding instability thresholds and global non-linear stability bounds for thermal convection in a linearly viscous fluid in a finite box. The vertical walls are maintained at different temperatures which gives rise to a non-... Read More about Linear and non-linear stability thresholds for thermal convection in a box.
