Exploiting the brachypodium tool box in cereal and grass research (2011)
Journal Article
It is now a decade since Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) was suggested as a model species for temperate grasses and cereals. Since then transformation protocols, large expressed sequence tag (EST) databases, tools for forward and reverse genet...

Mosquito age and susceptibility to insecticides (2011)
Journal Article
Insecticides play a crucial role in controlling the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases and the development and spread of insecticide resistance is a major threat to sustainable control. Guidelines developed by the WHO to monitor for insecticide... Read More about Mosquito age and susceptibility to insecticides.
Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides (2011)
Journal Article
Traditional microbiological techniques are used to provide reliable data on the rate and extent of kill for a range of biocides. However, such techniques provide very limited data regarding the initial rate of kill of fast-acting biocides over very s...

Bladder outlet physiology in the context of lower urinary tract dysfunction (2011)
Journal Article
Physiological function of the bladder outlet is complex and symptomatic consequences can result from outlet dysfunction. Within the outlet, smooth, and skeletal muscles constitute the contractile apparatus, but additional cell types include interstit...

Phasic activity of urinary bladder smooth muscle in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat: Effect of potassium channel modulators (2011)
Journal Article
Increased phasic activity in the bladder smooth muscle of animal models and patients with detrusor overactivity has been suggested to underlie the pathophysiology of overactive bladder. Potassium (K+) channels are key regulators of bladder smooth mus...

New frontiers in nitric oxide biology in plant (2011)
Journal Article
Molecular genetics and functional characterization of ciliopathies (2011)
Thesis
Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles projecting from most epithelial cells in vertebrates, with numerous essential roles in chemo- and mechanosensation. A suite of inherited human conditions are caused by defects in the structure or functio... Read More about Molecular genetics and functional characterization of ciliopathies.
Investigating the effects of fluidic connection between microbial fuel cells (2011)
Journal Article
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can 'treat' wastewater but individually are thermodynamically restricted. Scale-up might, therefore, require a plurality of units operating in a stack which could introduce losses simply through fluidic connections. Experi...

Towards constructing one-bit binary adder in excitable chemical medium (2011)
Journal Article
The light-sensitive modification (ruthenium catalysed) of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction exhibits various excitability regimes depending on the level of illumination. Within a narrow range of applied illumination levels the medium is in a sub-exci... Read More about Towards constructing one-bit binary adder in excitable chemical medium.
Detrusor underactivity: A plea for new approaches to a common bladder dysfunction (2011)
Journal Article
Aims: Detrusor underactivity (DU) is defined by the International Continence Society as a contraction of reduced strength and/or duration resulting in prolonged or incomplete emptying of the bladder but has yet received only little attention. The pur... Read More about Detrusor underactivity: A plea for new approaches to a common bladder dysfunction.
A systematic investigation of the effect of sample diluent on peak shape in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (2010)
Journal Article
The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of sample diluents to improve peak shapes in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), using low molecular weight (
Dechorionation of medaka embryos and cell transplantation for the generation of chimeras (2010)
Journal Article
Medaka is a small egg-laying freshwater fish that allows both genetic and embryological analyses and is one of the three vertebrate model organisms in which genome-wide phenotype-driven mutant screens were carried out. Divergence of functional overla... Read More about Dechorionation of medaka embryos and cell transplantation for the generation of chimeras.
Microinjection of medaka embryos for use as a model genetic organism (2010)
Journal Article
In this video, we demonstrate the technique of microinjection into one-cell stage medaka embryos. Medaka is a small egg-laying freshwater fish that allows both genetic and embryological analyses and is one of the vertebrate model organisms in which g...

A bioluminescent microbial biosensor for in vitro pretreatment assessment of cytarabine efficacy in leukemia (2010)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: The nucleoside analog cytarabine (Ara-C [cytosine arabinoside]) is the key agent for treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, up to 30% of patients fail to respond to treatment. Screening of patient blood samples to determine drug... Read More about A bioluminescent microbial biosensor for in vitro pretreatment assessment of cytarabine efficacy in leukemia.
Evidence for local declines in Tanzania's puku antelope (Kobus vardoni Livingstone, 1857) population between 1999 and 2003 (2010)
Journal Article
Introduction The Kilombero Valley in Tanzania holds c. 75% of the world’s puku antelope (Kobus vardoni), which is an estimated 50,000–60,000 individuals (East, 1998; Jenkins, Maliti & Corti, 2003). Globally, survival of this species is closely rela... Read More about Evidence for local declines in Tanzania's puku antelope (Kobus vardoni Livingstone, 1857) population between 1999 and 2003.
