A sensor fabricated from the inkjet-printed deposition of polyaniline nanoparticles onto a screen-printed silver interdigitated electrode was developed for the detection of ammonia in simulated human breath samples. Impedance analysis showed that exp... Read More about Direct measurement of ammonia in simulated human breath using an inkjet-printed polyaniline nanoparticle sensor.

Taking a breath for better health (2013)
Journal Article

What does your breath say about you? It might tell the world (or at least anyone at close quarters) that you didn’t brush your teeth this morning, or that you ate garlic last night. But there might also be other, subtle and important clues in there a... Read More about Taking a breath for better health.

Aberrant Wnt signalling and cellular over-proliferation in a novel mouse model of Meckel-Gruber syndrome (2013)
Journal Article

Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is an embryonic lethal ciliopathy resulting from mutations in genes encoding proteins localising to the primary cilium. Mutations in the basal body protein MKS1 account for 7% of cases of MKS. The condition affects the de...

Temperature response of denitrification rate and greenhouse gas production in agricultural river marginal wetland soils (2013)
Journal Article

Soils are predicted to exhibit significant feedback to global warming via the temperature response of greenhouse gas (GHG) production. However, the temperature response of hydromorphic wetland soils is complicated by confounding factors such as oxyge...

LGR5 promotes survival in human colorectal adenoma cells and is upregulated by PGE2: Implications for targeting adenoma stem cells with nsaids (2013)
Journal Article

Cyclooxygenase-2 is overexpressed in the majority of colorectal tumours leading to elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), promoting many hallmarks of cancer. Importantly, PGE2 is reported to enhance Wnt/β-catenin signalling in colorectal carcino...

The dual role of paramagnetic particles for integrated lysis and measurement in a rapid immunoassay for intracellular proteins (2013)
Journal Article

A novel, integrated lysis and immunoassay methodology and system for intracellular protein measurement are described. The method uses paramagnetic particles both as a lysis agent and assay label resulting in a rapid test requiring minimal operator in...

Comparative antimicrobial activities of aerosolized sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and electrochemically activated solutions evaluated using a novel standardized assay (2013)
Journal Article

The main aim of this study was to develop a standardized experimental assay to enable differential antimicrobial comparisons of test biocidal aerosols. This study represents the first chlorine-matched comparative assessment of the antimicrobial activ...

CoreGenes3.5: A webserver for the determination of core genes from sets of viral and small bacterial genomes (2013)
Journal Article

Background: CoreGenes3.5 is a webserver that determines sets of core genes from viral and small bacterial genomes as an automated batch process. Previous versions of CoreGenes have been used to classify bacteriophage genomes and mine data from pathog...

Microfabricated glucose biosensor for culture welloperation (2013)
Journal Article

A water-based carbon screen-printing ink formulation, containing the redox mediator cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) and the enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx), was investigated for its suitability to fabricate glucose microbiosensors in a 96-well microplate f...

Investigation on Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) pollen transmission through cross-pollination (2013)
Journal Article

DNA- and RNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems were used with Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) primers designed from conserved regions of the six published genomic sequences of CSSV to investigate whether the virus is transmissible from i...

Electrochemical detection of extracellular hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis thaliana: A real-time marker of oxidative stress (2013)
Journal Article

An electrochemical approach to directly measure the dynamic process of H2O2 release from cultures of Arabidopsis thaliana cells is reported. This approach is based on H2O2 oxidation on a Pt electrode in conjunction with continuous measurement of samp...

Variable expressivity of ciliopathy neurological phenotypes that encompass Meckel - Gruber syndrome and Joubert syndrome is caused by complex de-regulated ciliogenesis, Shh and wnt signalling defects (2013)
Journal Article

The ciliopathies are a group of heterogeneous diseases with considerable variations in phenotype for allelic conditions such as Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) and Joubert syndrome (JBTS) even at the inter-individual level within families. In humans, mu...

An Investigation of Fecal Volatile Organic Metabolites in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (2013)
Journal Article

Diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be a challenge; many clinicians resort to invasive investigations in order to rule out other diseases and reassure their patients. Volatile organic metabolites (VOMs) are emitted from feces; understanding... Read More about An Investigation of Fecal Volatile Organic Metabolites in Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery (2013)
Journal Article

The levels of compounds in exhaled mouth air do not necessarily reflect levels in the systemic circulation as bacteria can bio-transform substrates to produce compounds within the mouth. This should be of concern to researchers measuring breath volat... Read More about Volatiles from oral anaerobes confounding breath biomarker discovery.
