Cellular redox environment and its influence on redox signalling molecules (2018)
Journal Article

The redox potential of a cell’s internal environment is well recognised as important for controlling cellular activities. Both animal and plant cells generate and are exposed to a range of reactive molecules involved in cell signalling, including rea...

Seasonal patterns of infant mortality in wild Sanje Mangabeys, Cercocebus sanjei
Book Chapter

Infant mortality is a life history trait that is also a fundamental factor influencing population growth, thereby directly impacting the population viability of primate species. This study examines the distribution of infant mortality for one of the... Read More about Seasonal patterns of infant mortality in wild Sanje Mangabeys, Cercocebus sanjei.

Cercocebus sanjei (2018)
Other

Listed as Endangered based on its small extent of occurrence (1,872 km2), small area of occupancy (ca. 300 km2) and population fragmented into two isolated sub-populations, one of them residing in an area of limited protection and where there are ong... Read More about Cercocebus sanjei.

A study of the analysis of acidic solutes by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The analysis of acidic solutes was compared on a cross-linked bonded amino phase and a neutral hybrid inorganic-organic amide phase, previously shown to give reasonable retention of acidic solutes. The amino column gave strong se... Read More about A study of the analysis of acidic solutes by hydrophilic interaction chromatography.

The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around? (2023)
Journal Article

Over 2000 publications including more than 100 human studies seem to indicate that humans have only recently benefited from or known about the medical effects of H2 within the past 15 years. However, we have unknowingly benefited from H2 since the da... Read More about The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around?.

7-Hydroxylation of warfarin is strongly inhibited by sesamin, but not by episesamin, caffeic and ferulic acids in human hepatic microsomes (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Warfarin is a commonly used anticoagulant drug and is a derivate of coumarin. Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) plays the key role in transformation of coumarin and thus, influences determination of warfarin dosage. A number of factors...

Interaction of nitric oxide with auxin and ethylene signalling in Arabidopsis root gravitropism (2017)
Thesis

Gravitropism is required for the appropriate alignment of the plant root and shoot. According to the Cholodny-Went hypothesis, gravity induces asymmetric accumulation of auxin in the lower side of the root tissue. More recent studies on root gravitro...
