Analysis of faecal volatile organic compounds in preterm infants who develop necrotising enterocolitis: A pilot study (2009)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE:: To determine differences in the profiles of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in faecal samples from preterm infants who develop necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) compared with non-NEC controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS:: Daily faecal samples... Read More about Analysis of faecal volatile organic compounds in preterm infants who develop necrotising enterocolitis: A pilot study.

Development of an amperometric assay for phosphate ions in urine based on a chemically modified screen-printed carbon electrode (2009)
Journal Article

An amperometric assay for the determination of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in urine has been developed without the need for sample preparation. A screen-printed carbon electrode modified with the electrocatalyst cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC-SPCE) and cov...

4.1R-deficient human red blood cells have altered phosphatidylserine exposure pathways and are deficient in CD44 and CD47 glycoproteins (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Protein 4.1R is an important component of the red cell membrane skeleton. It imparts structural integrity and has transmembrane signaling roles by direct interactions with transmembrane proteins and other membrane skeletal components, not... Read More about 4.1R-deficient human red blood cells have altered phosphatidylserine exposure pathways and are deficient in CD44 and CD47 glycoproteins.

Substantial high-affinity methanotroph populations in Andisols effect high rates of atmospheric methane oxidation (2009)
Journal Article

Methanotrophic bacteria in soils derived from volcanic ash (Andisols) were characterized via time series 13C-phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) labelling. Three Andisols were incubated under 2 ppmv 13CH 4 for up to 18 weeks, thus enabling high-affinity m...

Ontogeny of long bone geometry in capuchin monkeys (Cebus albifrons and Cebus apella): Implications for locomotor development and life history (2009)
Journal Article

Studies of a diverse array of animals have found that young individuals often have robust bones for their body size (i.e. augmented crosssectional dimensions), limiting fracture risk despite general musculoskeletal immaturity. However, previous resea... Read More about Ontogeny of long bone geometry in capuchin monkeys (Cebus albifrons and Cebus apella): Implications for locomotor development and life history.

The electrochemical behavior of nitrazepam at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its determination in beverages by adsorptive stripping voltammetry (2009)
Journal Article

The cyclic voltammetric behavior of nitrazepam was investigated at screen-printed carbon electrodes over the range1.5 V to {thorn}1.5 V. Two reduction peaks were observable on the negative scan, at 0.7 V, and 1.2 V using pH 6 buffer. On the return sc...

Experimental validation of binary collisions between wave fragments in the photosensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction (2009)
Journal Article

Using the examples of an excitable chemical system (the Belousov–Zhabotinsky medium) and plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum we show that universal computation in a geometrically unconstrained medium is only possible when resources (excitability or c...

The actin-bundling protein fascin is overexpressed in colorectal adenomas and promotes motility in adenoma cells in vitro (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Fascin is overexpressed in many cancers, including colorectal, but its role in the malignant transformation of benign colorectal adenomas is unclear. Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of fascin expression was carried out in resected h...

HGF/Met signalling promotes PGE2 biogenesis via regulation of COX-2 and 15-PGDH expression in colorectal cancer cells (2009)
Journal Article

Evidence points towards a pivotal role for cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in promoting colorectal tumorigenesis through increasing prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels. PGE2 signalling is closely associated with the survival, proliferation and invasion of colorect...
