Understanding Hydrogen: Lessons to be learned from physical interactions between the inert gases and the globin superfamily (2022)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., Russell, G., Craig, T. J., May, J., Morse, H. R., & Stamler, J. S. (2022). Understanding Hydrogen: Lessons to be learned from physical interactions between the inert gases and the globin superfamily. Oxygen, 2(4), 578-590. https://doi.org/10.3390/oxygen2040038

Hydrogen gas (molecular hydrogen, H2) has significant effects in a range of organisms, from plants to humans. Many inert gases have been reported to have similar effects, and such responses may be most pronounced when cells are stressed. Xenon (Xe),...

Do SNPs in glutathione S-transferase-omega allow predictions of the susceptibility of vertebrates to SARS-CoV-2? (2022)
Journal Article

Infection with the SARS-Cov-2 virus causes COVID-19 in humans, and is the cause of the pandemic around the world in 2020 and on. However, some animals have been found to be susceptible to the virus too. This has included the non-human primates, dogs,...

© 2018 The Author(s). Differential trafficking of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) to and from the postsynaptic membrane is a key determinant of the strength of excitatory neurotransmission, and is thought to underlie learning and memory. The transcription fa... Read More about MEF2A regulates mGluR-dependent AMPA receptor trafficking independently of Arc/Arg3.1.

Competition of reactive signals and thiol modifications of proteins (2017)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., Craig, T. J., & Whiteman, M. (2017). Competition of reactive signals and thiol modifications of proteins. https://doi.org/10.4172/2576-1471.1000170

It is clear that cells are constantly bombarded by multiple signals, often initiating similar, or even conflicting, responses. Important players in this suite of signals are the reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the rea...
