The evolution of selective analyses of HDL and LDL cholesterol in clinical and point of care testing (2013)
Journal Article

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and is caused by the build up of atherosclerotic plaques in the vasculature. It is now well established that the formation of these plaques is closely related to levels of both high density...

The redox behaviour of diazepam (Valium®) using a disposable screen-printed sensor and its determination in drinks using a novel adsorptive stripping voltammetric assay (2013)
Journal Article

In this study we investigated the possibility of applying disposable electrochemical screen-printed carbon sensors for the rapid identification and quantitative determination of diazepam in beverages. This was achieved utilising a previously unreport...

The importance of methane breath testing: A review (2013)
Journal Article

Sugar malabsorption in the bowel can lead to bloating, cramps, diarrhea and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome as well as affecting absorption of other nutrients. The hydrogen breath test is now a well established noninvasive test for assessi... Read More about The importance of methane breath testing: A review.

The use of MS for the investigation of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease (2013)
Journal Article

Currently, the diagnosis of bowel diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) relies on invasive and expensive procedures. Identification of biomarker-based tests to aid diagnosis is an important area of resea...

Use of whole blood for analysis of disease-associated biomarkers (2013)
Journal Article

Analyses for diagnosis and monitoring of pathological conditions often rely on blood samples, partly due to relative ease of collection. However, many interfering substances largely preclude the use of whole blood itself, necessitating separation of... Read More about Use of whole blood for analysis of disease-associated biomarkers.

Smart integrated biosensor system (2013)
Journal Article

Professor Tony Killard from the University of the West of England is leading a collaborative project to develop and implement smart integrated miniturised sensor systems.

A novel bioluminescent bacterial biosensor for measurement of Ara-CTP and cytarabine potentiation by fludarabine in seven leukaemic cell lines (2013)
Journal Article

This study evaluates an in vitro biosensor assay capable of detecting the intracellular levels of the tri-phosphorylated form of cytarabine (Ara-CTP) within one working day. The biosensor predicted the response of seven leukaemic cell lines with vary...

Teaching Theory of Mind (2013)
Journal Article

Research Findings: An understanding of another's mental state, beliefs, or desires is often referred to as theory of mind (ToM). Pretence has been shown to be a precursor to ToM (Leslie, 1987; Lillard, 1999, 2001), and thus ToM could potentially be d... Read More about Teaching Theory of Mind.

Use of an in vitro flat-bed biofilm model to measure biologically active anti-odour compounds (2013)
Journal Article

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the utility of a modified flat-bed perfusion biofilm matrix system for testing toothpaste formulations directly, without dilution, as a layer in direct contact with the biofilm matrix surface. Final biof... Read More about Use of an in vitro flat-bed biofilm model to measure biologically active anti-odour compounds.

Fecal microbiome and volatile organic compound metabolome in obese humans with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The histopathology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is similar to that of alcoholic liver disease. Colonic bacteria are a source of many metabolic products, including ethanol and other volatile organic compounds (VOC) th...

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate promotes apoptosis and expression of the caspase 9a splice variant in PC3 prostate cancer cells (2013)
Journal Article

Growing evidence suggests that the flavonoid epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), notably abundant in green tea, has health-promoting properties. We examined the effect of EGCG on cell survival and apoptosis in the prostate cancer cell line PC3. Cell s...
