Journal Article
Dick, A. D., Majid, M. A., Smith, V. A., Matthews, F., & Newby, A. C. (2006). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 differentially binds to components of Bruch's membrane. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 90(10), 1310-1315. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjo.2006.097246

Background: Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD) is caused by mutations in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-3 and, with the exception of early onset, is similar to age-related macular degeneration. The pathological features of this condition r... Read More about Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 differentially binds to components of Bruch's membrane.

An analysis of intertaxa differences in sulfur concentration in angiosperms (2006)
Journal Article
Willey, N., & Wilkins, J. (2006). An analysis of intertaxa differences in sulfur concentration in angiosperms. Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, 169(5), 717-727. https://doi.org/10.1002/jpln.200520590

Understanding the behavior of sulfur (S) in the soil-plant system is important for crop production, for predicting the movement of the radioisotope 35S in the environment, and for investigating the role of S in plant metabolism of xenobiotics. A data... Read More about An analysis of intertaxa differences in sulfur concentration in angiosperms.

Identity, life history and commitment to welfare (2006)
Journal Article
Mayo, M., Jimenez, L., Hoggett, P., Beedell, P., & Miller, C. (2006). Identity, life history and commitment to welfare. Journal of Social Policy, 35(4), 689-704. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0047279406000146

Using detailed extracts from two life histories, this article examines the nature of the personal identifications that often underpin the commitment of welfare workers to their jobs. We explore the paradox that it is those identifications such as cla... Read More about Identity, life history and commitment to welfare.

The reversibility of constraints on size and fecundity in the parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti (2006)
Journal Article
Viney, M. E., Steer, M. D., & Wilkes, C. P. (2006). The reversibility of constraints on size and fecundity in the parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti. Parasitology, 133(4), 477-483. https://doi.org/10.1017/S003118200600062X

The size and fecundity of parasitic nematodes are constrained by the host immune response. For the parasitic nematode of rats, Strongyloides ratti, parasitic females infecting immunized rats are smaller and less fecu1nd than those infecting naïve rat...
