The emerging role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in skeletal biology (2012)
Journal Article

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is the simplest signalling lipid eliciting pleiotropic actions upon most mammalian cell types. Although LPA has an established role in many biological processes, particularly wound healing and cancer, the participation of...

Does diabetes mellitus-induced bladder remodeling affect lower urinary tract function?: ICI-RS 2011 (2012)
Journal Article

Aims Due to an increase in aging population and changing eating habits diabetes mellitus (DM) type II is a rapidly increasing condition worldwide. Although not so detrimental as other co-morbidities, uropathy contributes to a significantly reduced qu...

The validation of a functional, isolated pig bladder model for physiological experimentation (2012)
Journal Article

Characterizing the integrative physiology of the bladder requires whole organ preparations. The purpose of this study was to validate an isolated large animal (pig) bladder preparation, through arterial and intravesical drug administration, intravesi...

Energy drinks mixed with alcohol: Misconceptions, myths, and facts (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Whilst energy drinks improve performance and feelings of alertness, recent articles suggest that energy drink consumption combined with alcohol may reduce perception of alcohol intoxication, or lead to increased alcohol or drug use. This... Read More about Energy drinks mixed with alcohol: Misconceptions, myths, and facts.

Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections (2012)
Journal Article

This paper presents a spiking neuroevolutionary system which implements memristors as plastic connections, i.e., whose weights can vary during a trial. The evolutionary design process exploits parameter self-adaptation and variable topologies, allowi... Read More about Evolution of plastic learning in spiking networks via memristive connections.

Stable isotope switching (SIS): A new stable isotope probing (SIP) approach to determine carbon flow in the soil food web and dynamics in organic matter pools (2012)
Journal Article

RATIONALE Recent advances in stable isotope probing (SIP) have allowed direct linkage of microbial population structure and function. This paper details a new development of SIP, Stable Isotope Switching (SIS), which allows the simultaneous assessmen...

Effect of mouth-rinse formulations on oral malodour processes in tongue-derived perfusion biofilm model (2012)
Journal Article

An in vitro matrix biofilm perfusion model of tongue-derived microcosms for studying volatile sulfur compound (VSC) biogenesis has been previously described. The model was modified in order to monitor H 2 S in situ by use of a specialized electrode a...

A meckelin-filamin a interaction mediates ciliogenesis (2012)
Journal Article

MKS3, encoding the transmembrane receptor meckelin, is mutated in Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS), an autosomal-recessive ciliopathy. Meckelin localizes to the primary cilium, basal body and elsewhere within the cell. Here, we found that the cytoplasmic... Read More about A meckelin-filamin a interaction mediates ciliogenesis.

Development of a biosensor for HDL-cholesterol based on a novel electrocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide reduction (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Cholesterol is synthesized in the liver and transported in the blood in association with low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C). HDL-C is a modifiable risk for coronary heart disease. Its routine measurement is recommend...

Investigation on Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) pollen transmission through cross-pollination (2013)
Journal Article

DNA- and RNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems were used with Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) primers designed from conserved regions of the six published genomic sequences of CSSV to investigate whether the virus is transmissible from i...

Tackling ageing continence through theory, tools & technology (TACT3) (2012)
Journal Article

After dementia, nothing is more feared by older people than the loss of continence. It is often the reason many people enter care facilities and can contribute to the breakdown of caring relationships. This paper reports on a three-year research proj...

MyRIP interaction with MyoVa on secretory granules is controlled by the cAMP-PKA pathway (2012)
Journal Article

Myosin- and Rab-interacting protein (MyRIP), which belongs to the protein kinase A (PKA) - anchoring family, is implicated in hormone secretion. However, its mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. Here we investigate the role of MyRIP in myosin...

Differential redox potential between the human cytosolic and mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (2012)
Journal Article

The human branched-chain aminotransferase (hBCAT) isoenzymes are CXXC motif redox sensitive homodimers central to glutamate metabolism in the central nervous system. These proteins respond differently to oxidation by H 2O 2, NO, and S-glutathionylati...

Intraguild predation in winter wheat: Prey choice by a common epigeal carabid consuming spiders (2013)
Journal Article

Predators can provide a valuable ecosystem service by suppressing crop pests. However, intraguild predation, where predators compete for the same prey resource whilst consuming each other, may destabilize population dynamics and increase the risk of...
