The reliability of rabbit monoclonal antibodies in the immunohistochemical assessment of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2 in human breast carcinomas (2010)
Journal Article

The reliability of the rabbit monoclonal antibodies SP1, SP2, SP3, and 4B5 was immunohistochemically assessed on a range of 96 invasive breast carcinomas and the results compared with those achieved with established antibody markers for estrogen rece...

British Association for Psychopharmacology consensus statement on evidence-based treatment of insomnia, parasomnias and circadian rhythm disorders (2010)
Journal Article

Sleep disorders are common in the general population and even more so in clinical practice, yet are relatively poorly understood by doctors and other health care practitioners. These British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines are designed...

A simple colorimetric assay for specific detection of Glutathione-S transferase activity associated with DDT resistance in mosquitoes (2010)
Journal Article

Background:Insecticide-based methods represent the most effective means of blocking the transmission of vector borne diseases. However, insecticide resistance poses a serious threat and there is a need for tools, such as diagnostic tests for resistan...

EcoBot-III: A robot with guts (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the work carried out to develop EcoBot- III, which is a robot with an artificial digestion system. The robot is powered by Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) and it is designed to collect food and water from the environment, digest the... Read More about EcoBot-III: A robot with guts.

The role of c-kit-positive interstitial cells in mediating phasic contractions of bladder strips from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (2011)
Journal Article

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Although the functional significance of ICCs in the bladder is still not clear, they have been linked with detrusor overactivity. In this study we demonstrate the presence of c-kit positive in...

Evaluation of biophotonic imaging to estimate bacterial burden in mice infected with highly virulent compared to less virulent Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes (2010)
Journal Article

Bioluminescence imaging is an innovative, noninvasive tool to analyze infectious disease progression under real-life conditions in small laboratory animals. However, the relevance of bioluminescence imaging to monitor invasive compared to noninvasive... Read More about Evaluation of biophotonic imaging to estimate bacterial burden in mice infected with highly virulent compared to less virulent Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes.

Neisseria lactamica selectively induces mitogenic proliferation of the naive B cell pool via cell surface Ig (2010)
Journal Article

Neisseria lactamica is a commensal bacteria that colonizes the human upper respiratory tract mucosa during early childhood. In contrast to the closely related opportunistic pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, there is an absence of adaptive cell-mediate... Read More about Neisseria lactamica selectively induces mitogenic proliferation of the naive B cell pool via cell surface Ig.

The endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide, induces COX-2-dependent cell death in apoptosis-resistant colon cancer cells (2010)
Journal Article

Despite recent advances in understanding colorectal tumour biology, there is still a need to improve the 5-year survival rate of patients with colorectal cancer as approximately 40% of patients presenting with advanced disease will remain resistant t...

Instrumental considerations for the effective operation of short, highly efficient fused-core columns. Investigation of performance at high flow rates and elevated temperatures (2010)
Journal Article

Fused core or superficially porous columns offer the advantages of higher efficiency compared with totally porous columns of the same particle size, but similar operating pressures. However, their performance may be adversely affected by extra-column... Read More about Instrumental considerations for the effective operation of short, highly efficient fused-core columns. Investigation of performance at high flow rates and elevated temperatures.

Voltammetric behavior of DNA and its derivatives using screen printed carbon electrodes and its possible application in genotoxicity screening (2010)
Journal Article

The aim of the current work was to characterize the electrochemical behavior of DNA and its derivatives using screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was carried out on guanine, adenine, 8-oxyguanine, 8-deoxygau...

Investigation of the semiochemicals of confused flour beetle Tribolium confusum Jaquelin du Val and grain weevil Sitophilus granarius (L.) in stored wheat grain and flour (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This investigation sets out to identify specific volatile compounds from both flour infested with the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum and wheat grain infested with the grain weevil, Sitophilus granarius. These volatiles could help to aid th...

The proapoptotic BH3-only protein Bim is downregulated in a subset of colorectal cancers and is repressed by antiapoptotic COX-2/PGE2 signalling in colorectal adenoma cells (2010)
Journal Article

Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and elevated levels of its enzymatic product prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2) occur in the majority of colorectal cancers and have important roles in colorectal tumorigenesis. However, despite the established prosur...
