Expression of lumican in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) (2011)
Journal Article
Quasnichka, H., Kerr, B. C., Jones, P., Morgan, A., Hughes, C., & Caterson, B. (2011). Expression of lumican in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA). International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 92(6), A1-A38. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2613.2011.00780.x

Introduction Fragmentation of small leucine rich proteogly- cans (SLRPs), including decorin, biglycan, lumican, keratocan and fibromodulin, has been shown to occur in osteoarthritic articular cartilage (Melrose et al. 2008). We have previously sh... Read More about Expression of lumican in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA).

Logical and arithmetic circuits in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks (2011)
Journal Article
Holley, J., Jahan, I., De Lacy Costello, B., Bull, L., & Adamatzky, A. (2011). Logical and arithmetic circuits in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks. Physical Review E, 84(5), 056110. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.84.056110

Excitation waves on a subexcitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) substrate can be manipulated by chemical variations in the substrate and by interactions with other waves. Symbolic assignment and interpretation of wave dynamics can be used to perform log... Read More about Logical and arithmetic circuits in Belousov-Zhabotinsky encapsulated disks.

Neuromorphic computing with memristors: Preliminary experimental results (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Gale, E., de Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. (2011, November). Neuromorphic computing with memristors: Preliminary experimental results. Poster presented at Building Bridges to Build Brains, Edinburgh

Individual memristors have been observed demonstrating neuron-like spiking patterns. It has been shown elsewhere that memristors provide superior modelling for neurons then the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Due to these results we expect memristors to be e... Read More about Neuromorphic computing with memristors: Preliminary experimental results.

β-catenin represses expression of the tumour suppressor 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase in the normal intestinal epithelium and colorectal tumour cells (2011)
Journal Article

Gut, 61(9), 1306-1314. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2011-300817

Background: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) overexpression in colorectal cancer increases levels of its protumorigenic product prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The recently identified colorectal tumour suppressor 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catalyses p...

Signalling of DNA damage and cytokines across cell barriers exposed to nanoparticles depends on barrier thickness (2011)
Journal Article

The use of nanoparticles in medicine is ever increasing, and it is important to understand their targeted and non-targeted effects. We have previously shown that nanoparticles can cause DNA damage to cells cultured below a cellular barrier without cr...

Colon tumour cells increase PGE 2 by regulating COX-2 and 15-PGDH to promote survival during the microenvironmental stress of glucose deprivation (2011)
Journal Article
Williams, A. C., Moore, A. E., Smartt, H. J., Roberts, H. R., Greenhough, A., & Paraskeva, C. (2011). Colon tumour cells increase PGE 2 by regulating COX-2 and 15-PGDH to promote survival during the microenvironmental stress of glucose deprivation. Carcinogenesis, 32(11), 1741-1747. https://doi.org/10.1093/carcin/bgr210

Due to poor tumour-associated vasculature, tumour cells are subjected to a fluctuating microenvironment with periods of limited oxygen and glucose availability. Adaptive mechanisms to adverse microenvironments are important for tumour cell survival....
