Nanotechnology improves disease resistance in plants for food security: Applications and challenges (2023)
Journal Article
Munir, N., Gulzar, W., Abideen, Z., Hancock, J. T., El-Keblawy, A., & Radicetti, E. (2023). Nanotechnology improves disease resistance in plants for food security: Applications and challenges. Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology, 51, Article 102781

Green synthesis of nano-fertilizers is emerging as a potential strategy and could play a crucial role in disease mitigation, diagnosis, or suppression. Different nanoscale devices (nanoparticles, NPs), biosensors, nano-diagnostic kits, nanofabricatio...

Are protein cavities and pockets commonly used by redox active signalling molecules? (2023)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T. (2023). Are protein cavities and pockets commonly used by redox active signalling molecules?. Plants, 12(14), 2594. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants12142594

It has been well known for a long time that inert gases, such as xenon (Xe), have significant biological effects. As these atoms are extremely unlikely to partake in direct chemical reactions with biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic ac...

Hydrogen incorporation into solvents can improve the extraction of phenolics, ‎flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidants: A case-study using red beetroot (2023)
Journal Article
Alwazeer, D., Allam Elnasanelkasim, M., Çiğdem, A., ‎Engin, T., Kanmaz, H., Adnan Hayaloglu, A., …Hancock, J. T. (in press). Hydrogen incorporation into solvents can improve the extraction of phenolics, ‎flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidants: A case-study using red beetroot. Industrial Crops and Products,

Different methods are used for extracting phytochemicals from plant produce. Some ‎methods require sophisticated and expensive instruments, while others need multiple steps ‎and specialist equipment, leading to an increase in energy, solvents, cost,...

Why Elephants Cry: How Observing Unusual Animal Behaviours Can Predict the Weather (and other Environmental Phenomena) (2023)
Book
Hancock, J. (2023). Why Elephants Cry: How Observing Unusual Animal Behaviours Can Predict the Weather (and other Environmental Phenomena). Taylor & Francis (Routledge)

Why Elephants Cry is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors...

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?.

The early history of hydrogen and other gases in respiration and biological systems: Revisiting Beddoes, Cavallo, and Davy (2023)
Journal Article
