Global hypomethylation of the genome in XX embryonic stem cells (2005)
Journal Article

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are important tools in the study of gene function and may also become important in cell therapy applications. Establishment of stable XX ES cell lines from mouse blastocysts is relatively problematic owing to frequent loss o... Read More about Global hypomethylation of the genome in XX embryonic stem cells.

Species selection for phytoremediation of 36Cl/35Cl using angiosperm phylogeny and inter-taxa differences in uptake (2005)
Journal Article

High concentrations of 35Cl and the radioisotope 36Cl (produced naturally by cosmic radiation and anthropogenically by U fission and the use of neutron sources) can be problematic in soil, but are potentially amenable to phytoremediation if appropria...

Cloning and mapping of the porcine cytochrome-p450 2E1 gene and its association with skatole levels in the domestic pig (2005)
Journal Article

The porcine cytochrome-p450 2E1 (CYP2E1) gene was isolated by screening a pig BAC library and partially sequenced. This sequence information was used to identify six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the CYP2E1 gene and its promoter. In a...

Proteomic identification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as an inhibitory target of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis (2005)
Journal Article

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is now recognised as a key signalling molecule in eukaryotes. In plants, H2O2 is involved in regulating stomatal closure, gravitropic responses, gene expression and programmed cell death. Although several kinases, such as oxi...

Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137 (2005)
Journal Article

For 134/137Cs, and many other soil contaminants, research into transfer to plants has focused on particular crops and phytoremediation candidates, producing uptake data for a small proportion of all plant taxa. Despite the significance of differences... Read More about Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137.

The endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide, induces cell death in colorectal carcinoma cells: A possible role for cyclooxygenase 2 (2005)
Journal Article

Background and aims: Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is upregulated in most colorectal cancers and is responsible for metabolism of the endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide, into prostaglandin-ethanolamides (PG-EAs). The aims of this study were to determine w... Read More about The endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide, induces cell death in colorectal carcinoma cells: A possible role for cyclooxygenase 2.

Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2005)
Journal Article

We experimentally demonstrate that excitation wave-fragments in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) medium with immobilised catalyst can be used to build elementary logical gates and circuits. Following our previous theoretical constructions [Adamatzky A. Co... Read More about Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium.

Cruciate ligament laxity and femoral intercondylar notch narrowing in early-stage knee osteoarthritis (2005)
Journal Article

Objective. The influence of the cruciate ligaments in spontaneous osteoarthritis (OA) is not understood, although ligament rupture is known to cause secondary OA. Additionally, femoral notch narrowing at the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insertion...

Study of overloading of basic drugs and peptides in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using pH adjustment of weak acid mobile phases suitable for mass spectrometry (2005)
Journal Article

Serious losses in column efficiency for ionised basic drugs and peptides occur due to overloading of C18 phases when weak acid mobile phases of low ionic strength suitable for mass spectrometric detection are used. Measurable changes in retention tim...

Voltammetric determination of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene using molecularly imprinted polymer-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (2005)
Journal Article

A two step non-competitive affinity method for the trace determination of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) using a disposable molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) modified screen-printed carbon electrode (MIP-SPCE) has been developed. The MIP was synthesized a... Read More about Voltammetric determination of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene using molecularly imprinted polymer-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes.
