The framing of nanotechnologies in the British newspaper press (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This article investigates how developments in nanotechnology were framed in the British national newspaper press during a formative period in their rising public salience. Specifically, an intervention by Prince Charles in April 2003 is shown to have... Read More about The framing of nanotechnologies in the British newspaper press.

Structural determinants for branched-chain aminotransferase isozyme-specific inhibition by the anticonvulsant drug gabapentin (2005)
Journal Article

This study presents the first three-dimensional structures of human cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferase (hBCATc) isozyme complexed with the neuroactive drug gabapentin, the hBCATc Michaelis complex with the substrate analog, 4-methylvalerate, a...

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (2005)
Journal Article

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues, and are essential in providing support for the growth and differentiation of primitive hemopoietic cells within the bone marrow micro-environment. Techniques a... Read More about Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

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...

Reflexive science communication: LAQM consultation in the UK (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Cannabinoids and cancer: Potential for colorectal cancer therapy (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite extensive research into the biology of CRC (colorectal cancer), and recent advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapy, CRC continues to be a major cause of death throughout the world. Therefore it is important to develop novel chemoprev... Read More about Cannabinoids and cancer: Potential for colorectal cancer therapy.

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...
