Ionizing radiation, higher plants, and radioprotection: From acute high doses to chronic low doses (2018)
Journal Article
Willey, N., & Caplin, N. (2018). Ionizing radiation, higher plants, and radioprotection: From acute high doses to chronic low doses. Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, Article 847. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.00847

© 2018 Caplin and Willey. Understanding the effects of ionizing radiation (IR) on plants is important for environmental protection, for agriculture and horticulture, and for space science but plants have significant biological differences to the anim...

Assessing the effectiveness of interventions to support patient decision making about breast reconstruction: A systematic review (2018)
Journal Article
Paraskeva, N., Guest, E., Lewis-Smith, H., & Harcourt, D. (2018). Assessing the effectiveness of interventions to support patient decision making about breast reconstruction: A systematic review. Breast, 40, 97-105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.breast.2018.04.020

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Background: Decision making about breast reconstruction (BR) following a diagnosis of breast cancer, Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS), or to reduce future breast cancer risk, is difficult and complex. This paper systematically revi... Read More about Assessing the effectiveness of interventions to support patient decision making about breast reconstruction: A systematic review.

Targeting splicing in prostate cancer (2018)
Journal Article
Antonopoulou, E., & Ladomery, M. (2018). Targeting splicing in prostate cancer. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 19(5), 1287. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms19051287

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Over 95% of human genes are alternatively spliced, expressing splice isoforms that often exhibit antagonistic functions. We describe genes whose alternative splicing has been linked to prostat... Read More about Targeting splicing in prostate cancer.

Alternative splicing in the hippo pathway-implications for disease and potential therapeutic targets (2018)
Journal Article
Porazinski, S., & Ladomery, M. (2018). Alternative splicing in the hippo pathway-implications for disease and potential therapeutic targets. Genes, 9(3), 161. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes9030161

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Alternative splicing is a well-studied gene regulatory mechanism that produces biological diversity by allowing the production of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene. An involvement o...

Fungal wars: The underlying molecular repertoires of combating mycelia (2018)
Journal Article
Ujor, V. C., Adukwu, E. C., & Okonkwo, C. C. (2018). Fungal wars: The underlying molecular repertoires of combating mycelia. Fungal Biology, 122(4), 191-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.funbio.2018.01.001

© 2018 British Mycological Society Non-self contact between fungi elicits strong morphological and biochemical reactions in the mycelia of interacting species. Although these reactions appear to be species- and interaction-specific, some responses su... Read More about Fungal wars: The underlying molecular repertoires of combating mycelia.

Signaling through the primary cilium (2018)
Journal Article
Wheway, G., Nazlamova, L., & Hancock, J. T. (2018). Signaling through the primary cilium. Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 6(FEB), https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2018.00008

© 2018 Wheway, Nazlamova and Hancock. The presence of single, non-motile "primary" cilia on the surface of epithelial cells has been well described since the 1960s. However, for decades these organelles were believed to be vestigial, with no remainin... Read More about Signaling through the primary cilium.
