The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around? (2023)
Journal Article
LeBaron, T. W., Ohno, K., & Hancock, J. T. (2023). The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around?. Oxygen, 3(1), 143-162. https://doi.org/10.3390/oxygen3010011

Over 2000 publications including more than 100 human studies seem to indicate that humans have only recently benefited from or known about the medical effects of H2 within the past 15 years. However, we have unknowingly benefited from H2 since the da... Read More about The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around?.

Adapting for remote delivery during COVID-19: Insights from a science engagement project (2023)
Journal Article

Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species (2023)
Journal Article
Gomes, M., Domingues, R., Turner, D., & Oliveira, H. (2023). Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species. Viruses, 15(3), 643. https://doi.org/10.3390/v15030643

Bacteriophages are the most diverse genetic entities on Earth. In this study, two novel bacteriophages, nACB1 (Podoviridae morphotype) and nACB2 (Myoviridae morphotype), which infect Acinetobacter beijerinckii and Acinetobacter halotolerans, respecti...

The early history of hydrogen and other gases in respiration and biological systems: Revisiting Beddoes, Cavallo, and Davy (2023)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., & LeBaron, T. W. (2023). The early history of hydrogen and other gases in respiration and biological systems: Revisiting Beddoes, Cavallo, and Davy. Oxygen, 3(1), 102-119. https://doi.org/10.3390/oxygen3010008

In 2007 a paper in Nature Medicine sparked a new wave of interest in the use of molecular hydrogen (H2) for medical treatments. Since then there has been a flurry of papers looking at a range of medical aspects, from neurodegenerative disease to spor...

SPHINX-based combination therapy as a potential novel treatment strategy for acute myeloid leukaemia (2023)
Journal Article
Wodi, C., Belali, T., Morse, R., Porazinski, S., & Ladomery, M. (2023). SPHINX-based combination therapy as a potential novel treatment strategy for acute myeloid leukaemia. British Journal of Biomedical Science, 80, 11041. https://doi.org/10.3389/bjbs.2023.11041

Introduction: Dysregulated alternative splicing is a prominent feature of cancer. The inhibition and knockdown of the SR splice factor kinase SRPK1 reduces tumour growth in vivo. As a result several SPRK1 inhibitors are in development including SPHIN... Read More about SPHINX-based combination therapy as a potential novel treatment strategy for acute myeloid leukaemia.

Future brief: Nanoplastics: State of knowledge and environmental and human health impacts (2023)
Report
Shale, N. (2023). Future brief: Nanoplastics: State of knowledge and environmental and human health impacts. Luxembourg: Directorate-General for the Environment

This Future Brief elucidates the current situation regarding nanoplastics and the environment, from their detection and analysis through to their potential health risks, dispersal pathways, and future outlook.

PhD candidate? Why and how to develop a career plan (2023)
Journal Article
Adukwu, E. (2023). PhD candidate? Why and how to develop a career plan

After several conversations with some PhD students/candidates, I was struck by one common thread – the lack of awareness or astuteness in planning or developing their own careers, and lack of confidence in seeking help.

Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy (2023)
Journal Article
Simmonds, P., Adriaenssens, E. M., Zerbini, F. M., Abrescia, N. G. A., Aiewsakun, P., Alfenas-Zerbini, P., …Vasilakis, N. (2023). Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy. PLoS Biology, 21(2), e3001922. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001922

A universal taxonomy of viruses is essential for a comprehensive view of the virus world and for communicating the complicated evolutionary relationships among viruses. However, there are major differences in the conceptualisation and approaches to v... Read More about Four principles to establish a universal virus taxonomy.

Standardised and referenced acoustic monitoring reliably estimates bat fatalities at wind turbines: Comments on ‘Limitations of acoustic monitoring at wind turbines to evaluate fatality risk of bats’ (2023)
Journal Article
