An exploration of the collaborative processes of making theatre inspired by science (2012)
Journal Article

This research examined the collaborative processes of making theatre inspired by science through the analysis of 16 semi-structured interviews with individual collaborators (eight theatre practitioners and eight scientists). Interviews explored exper... Read More about An exploration of the collaborative processes of making theatre inspired by science.

Banana production systems: Identification of alternative systems for more sustainable production (2012)
Journal Article

Large-scale, monoculture production systems dependent on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, increase yields, but are costly and have deleterious impacts on human health and the environment. This research investigates variations in banana productio... Read More about Banana production systems: Identification of alternative systems for more sustainable production.

MyRIP interaction with MyoVa on secretory granules is controlled by the cAMP-PKA pathway (2012)
Journal Article

Myosin- and Rab-interacting protein (MyRIP), which belongs to the protein kinase A (PKA)–anchoring family, is implicated in hormone secretion. However, its mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. Here we investigate the role of MyRIP in myosin V...

Development of a novel, physiologically relevant cytotoxicity model: Application to the study of chemotherapeutic damage to mesenchymal stromal cells (2012)
Journal Article

There is an increasing need for development of physiologically relevant in-vitro models for testing toxicity, however determining toxic effects of agents which undergo extensive hepatic metabolism can be particularly challenging. If a source of such... Read More about Development of a novel, physiologically relevant cytotoxicity model: Application to the study of chemotherapeutic damage to mesenchymal stromal cells.

Evaluation of a silver-based electrocatalyst for the determination of hydrogen peroxide formed via enzymatic oxidation (2012)
Journal Article

Silver paste electrodes modified with lyotropic phases formed from dodecyl benzenesulphonic acid and KCl were used as the reductant in the determination of the hydrogen peroxide released from the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase with glucose and... Read More about Evaluation of a silver-based electrocatalyst for the determination of hydrogen peroxide formed via enzymatic oxidation.

The validation of a functional, isolated pig bladder model for physiological experimentation (2012)
Journal Article

Characterizing the integrative physiology of the bladder requires whole organ preparations. The purpose of this study was to validate an isolated large animal (pig) bladder preparation, through arterial and intravesical drug administration, intravesi...

Investigation of the patterning of a lyotropic mixture onto silver paste electrodes via ink jet printing and its effect on the electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Detection of hydrogen peroxide is widely used in a range of applications, from pharmaceutical to clinical and food industry, as well as environmental analysis. Peroxide is generated during many biological reactions and its concentration can be stoich...

Application of a printed electrocatalyst for H2O2 to the development of biosensors (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many enzymatic reactions, e.g. the oxidation of glucose or cholesterol by glucose oxidase (GOx) or cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), respectively, in the presence of oxygen release hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an end-product. Therefore, the determination of... Read More about Application of a printed electrocatalyst for H2O2 to the development of biosensors.

Development of a biosensor for HDL-cholesterol based on a novel electrocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide reduction (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Cholesterol is synthesized in the liver and transported in the blood in association with low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C). HDL-C is a modifiable risk for coronary heart disease. Its routine measurement is recommend...

Voltammetric behaviour of lead at a microband screen-printed carbon electrode and its trace determination in plants by stripping voltammetry (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Book review: Destructive Myths in Family Therapy (2012)
Journal Article

Adrenomedullin receptors on human T cells are glucocorticoid-sensitive (2012)
Journal Article

Adrenomedullin (AM) is a novel vasodilatatory peptide which acts primarily through the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) in combination with either receptor-activity-modifying-protein (RAMP) 2 or 3 (forming receptors, AM 1 and AM2 respectively)...

Exploring the ways environmental science is used and valued by policy-makers in Portugal: A case study (2012)
Journal Article

Policymakers, researchers and the general public seem to agree that there is a need for evidence based policies. Here we report on a case study which explores environmental policy making at the national and local levels in one European country, Portu...

Characterization of the Salmonella bacteriophage vB_SenS-Ent1 (2012)
Journal Article

The bacteriophage vB_SenS-Ent1 (Ent1) is a member of the family Siphoviridae of tailed bacteriophages and infects a broad range of serovars of the enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica. The virion particle is composed of an icosahedral head 64 nm in d... Read More about Characterization of the Salmonella bacteriophage vB_SenS-Ent1.

Low dose ionizing radiation produces too few reactive oxygen species to directly affect antioxidant concentrations in cells (2012)
Journal Article

It has been hypothesized that radiation-induced oxidative stress is the mechanism for a wide range of negative impacts on biota living in radioactively contaminated areas around Chernobyl. The present study tests this hypothesis mechanistically, for...
