Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 is a key regulator of the MYCN oncoprotein in neuroblastoma cells (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. Approximately half of poor prognosis neuroblastomas (NBs) are characterized by pathognomonic MYCN gene amplification and MYCN over-expression. Here we present data showing that short-interfering RNA mediated depletion of the prote...

Serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) inhibition as a potential novel targeted therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2014)
Journal Article

© 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. Angiogenesis is required for tumour growth and is induced principally by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). VEGF-A pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced at the terminal exon to produce...

Assessing the value of imperfect biocontainment nationally: Rapeseed in the United Kingdom as an exemplar (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 New Phytologist Trust. Paternal biocontainment methods (PBMs) act by preventing pollen-mediated transgene flow. They are compromised by transgene escape via the crop-maternal line. We therefore assess the efficacy of PBMs for transgenic rapese... Read More about Assessing the value of imperfect biocontainment nationally: Rapeseed in the United Kingdom as an exemplar.

Topographical variation reduces phenological mismatch between a butterfly and its nectar source (2014)
Journal Article
Hindle, B. J., Kerr, C. L., Richards, S. A., & Willis, S. G. (2015). Topographical variation reduces phenological mismatch between a butterfly and its nectar source. Journal of Insect Conservation, 19(2), 227-236. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-014-9713-x

© 2014, Springer International Publishing Switzerland. The timing of many biological events, including butterfly imago emergence, has advanced under climate change, with the rate of these phenological changes often differing among taxonomic groups. S...

Novel reductive-reductive mode electrochemical detection of Rohypnol following liquid chromatography and its determination in coffee (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier B.V. Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) has been successfully determined in coffee by high performance liquid chromatography dual electrode detection (LC-DED) in the dual reductive mode. Initial studies were performed to optimise the chromatogr...

Rahnella victoriana sp. nov., Rahnella bruchi sp. nov., Rahnella woolbedingensis sp. nov., classification of Rahnella genomospecies 2 and 3 as Rahnella variigena sp. nov. and Rahnella inusitata sp. nov., respectively and emended description of the genus Rahnella (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Published by Elsevier GmbH. Isolations from oak symptomatic of Acute Oak Decline, alder and walnut log tissue, and buprestid beetles in 2009-2012 yielded 32 Gram-negative bacterial strains showing highest gyrB sequence similarity to Rahnella a...

Congenital Malaria Among Inborn And Out Born Babies At A Tertiary Care Hospital In Port Harcourt, Rivers State, South- South Nigeria (2014)
Journal Article
Akpiri, R. U. (2014). Congenital Malaria Among Inborn And Out Born Babies At A Tertiary Care Hospital In Port Harcourt, Rivers State, South- South Nigeria. Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 4(5),

Congenital malaria is increasingly reported among babies born to mothers residing in endemic areas. Congenital malaria is a major problem in tropical and subtropical countries, it can be transferred vertically from the placenta of an infected pregnan...

Development of a disposable screen-printed amperometric biosensor based on glutamate dehydrogenase, for the determination of glutamate in clinical and food applications (2014)
Journal Article

A screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) containing the electrocatalyst Meldola’s Blue (MB) has been investigated as the base transducer for a glutamate biosensor. The sandwich biosensor was fabricated by firstly depositing a chitosan (CHIT) layer...

Alternative splicing of TIA-1 in human colon cancer regulates VEGF isoform expression, angiogenesis, tumour growth and bevacizumab resistance (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. The angiogenic capability of colorectal carcinomas (CRC), and their susceptibility to anti-angiogenic therapy, is determined by expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) isoforms. The intracellular protein T-cell In... Read More about Alternative splicing of TIA-1 in human colon cancer regulates VEGF isoform expression, angiogenesis, tumour growth and bevacizumab resistance.

Development of a hydrogen peroxide sensor based on screen-printed electrodes modified with inkjet-printed prussian blue nanoparticles (2014)
Journal Article

A sensor for the simple and sensitive measurement of hydrogen peroxide has been developed which is based on screen printed electrodes (SPEs) modified with Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) deposited using piezoelectric inkjet printing. PBNP-modifie... Read More about Development of a hydrogen peroxide sensor based on screen-printed electrodes modified with inkjet-printed prussian blue nanoparticles.

Using Participatory Risk Mapping (PRM) to identify and understand people's perceptions of crop loss to animals in uganda (2014)
Journal Article
Webber, A. D., & Hill, C. M. (2014). Using Participatory Risk Mapping (PRM) to identify and understand people's perceptions of crop loss to animals in uganda. PLoS ONE, 9(7), e102912. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0102912

Considering how people perceive risks to their livelihoods from local wildlife is central to (i) understanding the impact of crop damage by animals on local people and (ii) recognising how this influences their interactions with, and attitudes toward...
