Journal Article
Daly, C. S., Flemban, A., Shafei, M., Conway, M. E., Qualtrough, D., & Dean, S. J. (2018). Hypoxia modulates the stem cell population and induces EMT in the MCF-10A breast epithelial cell line. Oncology Reports, 39(2), 483-490. https://doi.org/10.3892/or.2017.6125

A common feature among pre-malignant lesions is the induction of hypoxia through increased cell propagation and reduced access to blood flow. Hypoxia in breast cancer has been associated with poor patient prognosis, resistance to chemotherapy and inc...

© 2017 Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, with the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) acting as key nitrogen donors for de novo glutamate synthesis. Despite the importance of these major metabolites, the...

The impact of ageing reveals distinct roles for human dentate gyrus and CA3 in pattern separation and object recognition memory (2017)
Journal Article
Dillon, S. E., Tsivos, D., Knight, M., McCann, B., Pennington, C., Shiel, A. I., …Coulthard, E. J. (2017). The impact of ageing reveals distinct roles for human dentate gyrus and CA3 in pattern separation and object recognition memory. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 14069. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-13853-8

© 2017 The Author(s). Both recognition of familiar objects and pattern separation, a process that orthogonalises overlapping events, are critical for effective memory. Evidence is emerging that human pattern separation requires dentate gyrus. Dentate...

Journal Article
Jackson, S. K., Sattar, A. A., Abate, W., Liu, J., & Conway, M. E. (2017). Evaluation of recombinant factor C assay for the detection of divergent lipopolysaccharide structural species and comparison with Limulus amebocyte lysate-based assays and a human monocyte activity assay. Journal of Medical Microbiology, 66(7), 888-897. https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.000510

© 2017 The Authors. Purpose. The Limulus amebocytelysate (LAL) assay is widely used for the screening of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in parenteral pharmaceuticals. However, correlation of LPS in Gram-negative bacterial infections by LAL assay has been p...

© 2017 Shafei, Harris and Conway. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease associated with the production and deposition of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) aggregates and neurofibrillary tangles, which lead to synaptic and neuronal damage. Reduced au... Read More about Divergent metabolic regulation of autophagy and mTORC1-early events in Alzheimer's disease?.
