Polyphenols from brown seaweeds as a potential antimicrobial agent in animal feeds (2020)
Journal Article

Seaweeds offer a natural source of antimicrobials that may help curb antibiotic resistance in livestock. The antibacterial activity of phlorotannin extracts isolated from two brown seaweeds Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus serratus was tested. The mecha...

Extraction-free, direct determination of caffeine in microliter volumes of beverages by thermal desorption-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (2020)
Journal Article

An extraction-free method requiring microliter (μL) volumes has been developed for the determination of caffeine in beverages. Using a pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry system, the conditions required for the direct thermal desorption-g...

The impact of the “World's 25 Most Endangered Primates” list on scientific publications and media (2020)
Journal Article

Assessing the impact of conservation campaigns is of critical importance to optimise the use of limited resources. Lists of threatened species are often employed as media outreach tools, but their usefulness is rarely tested. We investigated whether...

A Wnt-BMP4 signaling axis induces MSX and NOTCH proteins and promotes growth suppression and differentiation in neuroblastoma (2020)
Journal Article

The Wnt and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways are known to be crucial in the development of neural crest lineages, including the sympathetic nervous system. Surprisingly, their role in paediatric neuroblastoma, the prototypic tumor...

Cyclic voltammetric behaviour of 2,4-dinitrotoluene at a glassy carbon electrode (2020)
Journal Article

This paper describes the development of a simple voltammetric method for the measurement of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (24DNT) at glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Initial investigations were undertaken using cyclic voltammetry to characterise the redox behavio... Read More about Cyclic voltammetric behaviour of 2,4-dinitrotoluene at a glassy carbon electrode.

BCL–3 promotes cyclooxygenase–2/prostaglandin E2 signalling in colorectal cancer (2020)
Journal Article

First discovered as an oncogene in leukaemia, recent reports highlight an emerging role for the proto-oncogene BCL-3 in solid tumours. Importantly, BCL-3 expression is upregulated in >30% of colorectal cancer cases and is reported to be associated wi...
