Cytochrome c, Glutathione, and the Possible Role of Redox Potentials in Apoptosis (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The redox environment of the cell is now thought to be extremely important to control the activity of many proteins. During apoptosis, the intracellular redox potential (Eh) becomes more positive, with possible consequences for the mechanisms of apop...

Sensors/biosensors, based on screen-printing technology for biomedical applications (2003)
Journal Article
This article describes three recent developments from our laboratory, in which screen-printed carbon electrodes have been modified in order to develop sensors/biosensors for analytes of biomedical importance. The analytical applications described are... Read More about Sensors/biosensors, based on screen-printing technology for biomedical applications.
Expression in Xenopus oocytes shows that WT1 binds transcripts in vivo, with a central role for zinc finger one (2003)
Journal Article
The Wilms' tumour suppressor gene WT1 encodes a protein involved in urogenital development and disease. The salient feature of WT1 is the presence of four 'Krüppel'-type C2-H2 zinc fingers in the C-terminus. Uniquely to WTI, an evolutionarily conserv...

Murine Denys-Drash syndrome: Evidence of podocyte de-differentiation and systemic mediation of glomerulosclerosis (2003)
Journal Article
Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) is caused by dominant mutations of the Wilms' tumour suppressor gene, WT1, and characterized by a nephropathy involving diffuse mesangial sclerosis, male pseudohermaphroditism and/ or Wilms' tumourigenesis. Previously, we r... Read More about Murine Denys-Drash syndrome: Evidence of podocyte de-differentiation and systemic mediation of glomerulosclerosis.
Nitrogen leaching losses under a less intensive farming and environment (LIFE) integrated system (2003)
Journal Article
Less Intensive Farming and Environment (LIFE) management is a form of integrated farming which aims to meet farming's economic and environmental requirements. We used a farm-scale LIFE demonstration to measure nitrogen (N) leaching losses over a 6 ye...

Adult bone marrow is a rich source of human mesenchymal 'stem' cells but umbilical cord and mobilized adult blood are not (2003)
Journal Article
In postnatal life, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) self-replicate, proliferate and differentiate into mesenchymal tissues, including bone, fat, tendon, muscle and bone marrow (BM) stroma. Possible clinical applications for MSC in stem cell transplantati...

Hybridization Between Brassica napus and B. rapa on a National Scale in the United Kingdom (2003)
Journal Article
Measures blocking hybridization would prevent or reduce biotic or environmental change caused by gene flow from genetically modified (GM) crops to wild relatives. The efficacy of any such measure depends on hybrid numbers within the legislative regio... Read More about Hybridization Between Brassica napus and B. rapa on a National Scale in the United Kingdom.
A prototype sensor system for the early detection of microbially linked spoilage in stored wheat grain (2003)
Journal Article
Sensors based on composites of metal oxides were fabricated and tested extensively under high-humidity and high-flow conditions with exposure to vapours reported to increase in the headspace of wheat grain (Triticum aestivum cv Hereward) colonized by...

Highly sensitive mixed oxide sensors for the detection of ethanol (2002)
Journal Article
Sensors consisting of mixtures of tin dioxide and zinc oxide powders in a range of proportions were constructed. Each mixture was applied to an electrode-bearing alumina substrate either as a paste, or by screen printing. The responses of these senso...

Involvement of conventional kinesin in glucose-stimulate secretory granule movements and exocytosis in clonal pancreatic β-cells (2002)
Journal Article
Recruitment of secretory vesicles to the cell surface is essential for the sustained secretion of insulin in response to glucose. At present, the molecular motors involved in this movement, and the mechanisms whereby they may be regulated, are undefi...

Multifunctional zinc finger proteins in development and disease (2002)
Journal Article
Post-transcriptional processes contribute significantly towards the generation of proteomic diversity. An increasing number of mutations have been described that affect genes encoding components of the post-transcriptional machinery. In particular, m...

Sensors for early warning of post-harvest spoilage in potato tubers (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Post-harvest spoilage of potato tubers results in approximately 9 million annual loss in the UK alone. In this paper, we report work completed with funding from the British Potato Council to develop an electronic sensor system (e-nose) to enable the...

The demarcation of Bioko’ protected areas. Report to conservation international (2002)
Report
Report detailing the demarcation of Bioko Island's two protected areas: Pico Basilé National Park and Caldera de Luba Scientific Reserve.
Collision-free path planning in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium assisted by a cellular automaton (2002)
Journal Article
We offer a new approach to computing a shortest collision-free path in a space containing obstacles, using an experimental chemical processor, based on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. The chemical processor was then coupled via optical links... Read More about Collision-free path planning in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium assisted by a cellular automaton.
Antimicrobial properties of milk: Dependence on presence of xanthine oxidase and nitrite (2002)
Journal Article
Human and bovine milk inhibited the metabolic activity of Escherichia coli, as shown by luminescence monitoring of constructs expressing the luxCDABE genes. Inhibition was dependent on both xanthine oxidase (XO) activity and on the presence of nitrit...

Overloading study of bases using polymeric RP-HPLC columns as an aid to rationalization of overloading on silica-ODS phases (2002)
Journal Article
The separation of ionized bases by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with alkyl silica columns often leads to severely tailed bands that are highly detrimental. Band shape and its dependence on sample mass are notably different when mobile-phase p...

A continuous 96-well plate spectrophotometric assay for branched-chain amino acid aminotransferases (2002)
Journal Article
A new, continuous 96-well plate spectrophotometric assay for the branched-chain amino acid aminotransferases is described. Transamination of L-leucine with α-ketoglutarate results in formation of α-ketoisocaproate, which is reductively aminated back...
