The synergistic effects of lysophosphatidic acid receptor agonists and calcitriol on MG63 osteoblast maturation at titanium and hydroxyapatite surfaces (2010)
Journal Article

Successful osseointegration stems from the provision of a mechanically competent mineralised matrix at the implant site. Mature osteoblasts are the cells responsible for achieving this and a key factor for ensuring healthy bone tissue is associated w...

Relationship between the hepatic SULT2A1 protein expression and backfat androstenone level in pigs of three breeds (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Excessive accumulation of androstenone in pig adipose tissue contributes to the phenomenon of boar taint, an off-odour of some cooked pork. One of the reasons for high androstenone accumulation is a low rate of androstenone metabolism in pig liver. T...

Application of screen-printed microband biosensors incorporated with cells to monitor metabolic effects of potential environmental toxins (2010)
Journal Article

Microband biosensors were fabricated from a screen-printed water-based carbon ink containing cobalt phthalocyanine redox mediator and glucose oxidase or lactate oxidase enzyme. The microbiosensors were characterised for their ability to monitor ferro...

Modelling the effects of pH on tongue biofilm using a sorbarod biofilm perfusion system (2010)
Journal Article

The pH of the tongue biofilm is likely to influence microbial composition and ecology with consequent effects on the metabolic activities and generation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) and other malodour gasses. The aim of this study was to identi... Read More about Modelling the effects of pH on tongue biofilm using a sorbarod biofilm perfusion system.

Assessment of the influence of different sample processing and cold storage duration on plant free proline content analyses (2010)
Journal Article

Introduction - A method which is widely accepted for the analysis of free proline content in plant tissues is based on the use of 3% sulfosalicylic acid as an extractant, followed by spectrophotometric quantification of a proline-ninhydrin complex in...

Neisseria lactamica attenuates TLR-1/2-induced cytokine responses in nasopharyngeal epithelial cells using PPAR-γ (2011)
Journal Article

The upper respiratory tract commensal Neisseria lactamica (Nlac) induces protective humoral immunity against pathogenic Nmen serogoup B (Nmen), but whether it also affords anti-inflammatory mucosal protection, as reported for several gut commensals,...

Functionalized paramagnetic nanoparticles for waste water treatment (2010)
Journal Article

An approach to the design, development and implementation of a new separation technology for use in the decontamination of radioactive waste streams is reported here. Calixarene-crown-6 derivatives with terminal carboxyl groups were synthesised and a... Read More about Functionalized paramagnetic nanoparticles for waste water treatment.

Plant responses to cold: transcriptome analysis of wheat (2010)
Journal Article

Temperature and light are important environmental stimuli that have a profound influence on the growth and development of plants. Wheat varieties can be divided on the basis of whether they require an extended period of cold to flower (vernalization)... Read More about Plant responses to cold: transcriptome analysis of wheat.

Chemical tessellations - Results of binary and tertiary reactions between metal ions and ferricyanide or ferrocyanide loaded gels (2010)
Journal Article

In our recent letter [de Lacy Costello et al., 2009] we described the formation of spontaneous complex tessellations of the plane constructed in simple chemical reactions between drops of metal salts and ferricyanide or ferrocyanide loaded gels. In t... Read More about Chemical tessellations - Results of binary and tertiary reactions between metal ions and ferricyanide or ferrocyanide loaded gels.

The strategic use of sex in wild female western gorillas (2009)
Journal Article

Human females, unlike most mammals, are sexually active outside of fertile periods. This decoupling of sexual behavior from its conceptive function has had an enormous impact on human social relationships, and yet we know little about why there was s...

P19 H-ras induces G1/S phase delay maintaining cells in a reversible quiescence state (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Three functional c-ras genes, known as c-H-ras, c-K-ras, and c-N-ras, have been largely studied in mammalian cells with important insights into normal and tumorigenic cellular signal transduction events. Two K-Ras mRNAs are obtained from... Read More about P19 H-ras induces G1/S phase delay maintaining cells in a reversible quiescence state.

Real-time monitoring of river water quality using in-line continuous acquisition of fluorescence excitation and emission matrices (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Birmingham, UK. River water was diverted to a portable laboratory via a continuous flow pump and filter system. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrices data was recorded every 3 minutes using a flow cell (1cm pathlength) coupled to a fiber optic pr...

The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is understood that all fluorescence analyses essentially observes the fluorescence of a given sample in a 'quenched state'. Even so, detailed literature concerning the effects of lower temperatures (below 4 degrees Celsius) is surprisingly sparse.... Read More about The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM.
