Colon tumour cells increase PGE 2 by regulating COX-2 and 15-PGDH to promote survival during the microenvironmental stress of glucose deprivation (2011)
Journal Article

Due to poor tumour-associated vasculature, tumour cells are subjected to a fluctuating microenvironment with periods of limited oxygen and glucose availability. Adaptive mechanisms to adverse microenvironments are important for tumour cell survival....

Biology and computing (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Memristors, the recently discovered 4th fundamental circuit element, have been used as models for biological components, such as neurons. It may be that neurons are memristors, rather than just conveniently modeled by them. This presentation covers r... Read More about Biology and computing.

Dimensional modelling of the fuel outgassing phenomenon: Improving flammability assessment of aircraft fuel tanks (2011)
Journal Article

Fuel outgassing (oxygen evolution) within aircraft fuel tanks presents a serious flammability hazard. Time constants representing oxygen transfer rate, from the fuel into a tank’s ullage, are used to model the effect of outgassing on tank flammabilit...

Printed polyaniline-modified interdigitated electrodes for detection and quantification of ammonia in breath (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A range of pathological conditions can lead to elevated blood ammonia and urea nitrogen levels. These include kidney and liver dysfunction and urea cycle defects. These conditions result in severe reduction in quality and quantity of life. Blood nitr...

Lysophosphatidic acid and calcitriol co-operate to promote human osteoblastogenesis: Requirement of albumin-bound LPA (2011)
Journal Article

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a pleiotropic signalling lipid is assuming growing significance in osteoblast biology. Although committed osteoblasts from several mammalian species are receptive to LPA far less is known about the potential for LPA to in...

Essential techniques for introducing medaka to a zebrafish laboratory - Towards the combined use of medaka and zebrafish for further genetic dissection of the function of the vertebrate genome (2011)
Journal Article

The medaka, Oryzias latipes, a small egg-laying freshwater fish, is one of the three vertebrate model organisms in which genome-wide phenotype-driven mutant screens have been carried out. Despite a number of large-scale screens in zebrafish, a substa...
