Presence of WT1 in nuclear messenger RNP particles in the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562 (2006)
Journal Article

The WT1 gene is a key player in acute myeloid leukaemia, in which it is frequently over-expressed. WT1 encodes a multifunctional zinc finger protein transcription factor, which also binds mRNA. Thus increasing evidence suggests that WT1 works both at... Read More about Presence of WT1 in nuclear messenger RNP particles in the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562.

An analysis of intertaxa differences in sulfur concentration in angiosperms (2006)
Journal Article

Understanding the behavior of sulfur (S) in the soil-plant system is important for crop production, for predicting the movement of the radioisotope 35S in the environment, and for investigating the role of S in plant metabolism of xenobiotics. A data... Read More about An analysis of intertaxa differences in sulfur concentration in angiosperms.

Transcriptome Shock after Interspecific Hybridization in Senecio Is Ameliorated by Genome Duplication (2006)
Journal Article

Allopolyploidy, which involves genome doubling of an interspecific hybrid is an important mechanism of abrupt speciation in flowering plants [1-6]. Recent studies show that allopolyploid formation is accompanied by extensive changes to patterns of pa...

The reversibility of constraints on size and fecundity in the parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti (2006)
Journal Article

The size and fecundity of parasitic nematodes are constrained by the host immune response. For the parasitic nematode of rats, Strongyloides ratti, parasitic females infecting immunized rats are smaller and less fecu1nd than those infecting naïve rat...

Magnetic field characteristics of a magneto-biosensor detection coil
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study describes numerical modelling of a magneto-biosensor detection coil using a Boundary Element Method (BEM). The Z and X axis magnetic profiles of the coil have been analysed. The model was extended to incorporate paramagnetic particles to e... Read More about Magnetic field characteristics of a magneto-biosensor detection coil.

Assessment of the relationship between industrial and traffic sources contributing to air quality objective exceedences: A theoretical modelling exercise (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the UK, local government is under a statutory duty to undertake scientific review and assessment of air quality and designate Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in locations with identified air quality problems. This paper investigates, from a t...

Overload for ionized solutes in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (2006)
Journal Article

Overloading occurs for submicrogram quantities of ionized solutes particularly when using low ionic strength mobile phases at low pH (e.g., formic acid), even with highly inert silica RP-HPLC columns of normal dimensions. Much higher loads can produc... Read More about Overload for ionized solutes in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

Study of overload for basic compounds in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography as a function of mobile phase pH (2006)
Journal Article

The retention and overloading properties for eight basic solutes and two quaternary ammonium compounds were studied over the pH range 2.7-10.0 using phosphate and carbonate buffers. At low pH, a hybrid inorganic-organic silica-ODS phase (XTerra RP-18...

Voltammetric behavior of nitrazepam and its determination in serum using liquid chromatography with redox mode dual-electrode detection (2006)
Journal Article

A method involving high-performance liquid chromatography with dual-electrode electrochemical detection in the redox mode (LC-DED) has been successfully developed for the determination of the benzodiazepine tranquilizer, nitrazepam, in serum. To eluc... Read More about Voltammetric behavior of nitrazepam and its determination in serum using liquid chromatography with redox mode dual-electrode detection.

Production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species by angiosperm stigmas and pollen: Potential signalling crosstalk? (2006)
Journal Article

• Angiosperm stigmas exhibit high levels of peroxidase activity when receptive to pollen. To explore possible function(s) of this peroxidase activity we investigated amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide, in stigmas...

Energetically autonomous robots: Food for thought (2006)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the robot EcoBot-II, which is designed to power itself solely by converting unrefined insect biomass into useful energy using on-board microbial fuel cells with oxygen cathodes. In bench experiments different 'fuels' (sugar, fru... Read More about Energetically autonomous robots: Food for thought.

The Wilms tumour suppressor protein WT1 (+KTS isoform) binds alpha-actinin 1 mRNA via its zinc-finger domain (2006)
Journal Article

Mutations in WT1 are associated with developmental syndromes that affect the urogenital system and neoplasms, including Wilms tumour, acute myeloid leukemia, and breast and prostate cancers.
