Generation of red blood cells from stem cells: Achievements, opportunities and perspectives for malaria research (2022)
Journal Article
Satchwell, T. J. (2022). Generation of red blood cells from stem cells: Achievements, opportunities and perspectives for malaria research. Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 12, Article 1039520. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2022.1039520

Parasites of the genus Plasmodium that cause malaria survive within humans by invasion of, and proliferation within, the most abundant cell type in the body, the red blood cell. As obligate, intracellular parasites, interactions between parasite and...

Cloning and expression of Burkholderia polyyne biosynthetic gene clusters in Paraburkholderia hosts provides a strategy for biopesticide development (2022)
Journal Article
Petrova, Y. D., Zhao, J., Webster, G., Mullins, A. J., Williams, K., Alswat, A. S., …Mahenthiralingam, E. (2022). Cloning and expression of Burkholderia polyyne biosynthetic gene clusters in Paraburkholderia hosts provides a strategy for biopesticide development. Microbial Biotechnology, 15(10), 2547-2561. https://doi.org/10.1111/1751-7915.14106

Burkholderia have potential as biocontrol agents because they encode diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for a range of antimicrobial metabolites. Given the opportunistic pathogenicity associated with Burkholderia species, heterologous BGC expr...

For centuries, herbal teas have been consumed by people of all ages and has been used for therapy in different civilisations and medical systems such as the Chinese, Indian, indigenous, and African. The aphorism- ‘Nature is the best chemist’ has a lo... Read More about Effects of herbal teas and supplements on microbial flora and metabolism.

COVID-19-related changes in outpatient CPAP setup pathways for OSA are linked with decreased 30-day CPAP usage (2022)
Journal Article

The COVID-19 pandemic changed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) setup pathways. We evaluated patients commenced on CPAP in 2019 (prepandemic) and 2020 (post-first UK wave). Face-to-face (F2F) setup numbers, with CPAP turned on, decreased fro...
