The acute effects of the non-nutritive sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame-K in UK diet cola on glycaemic response
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-03-20) -
Algal polysaccharide utilisation by saprotrophic planktonic marine fungi
(Elsevier, 2017-12)© 2017 Elsevier Ltd and British Mycological Society. The functional roles that marine mycoplankton fulfil are poorly understood, resulting in a lack of knowledge of their ecology. Here we show, using DNA Stable Isotope ... -
Antagonistic Interactions between Benzo[a]pyrene and Fullerene (C60) in Toxicological Response of Marine Mussels
(MDPI AG, 2019-07-08)<jats:p>This study aimed to assess the ecotoxicological effects of the interaction of fullerene (C60) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) on the marine mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. The uptake of nC60, B[a]P and mixtures of ... -
Antibiotic-resistant ST38, ST131 and ST405 strains are the leading uropathogenic Escherichia coli clones in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
(England, 2015-10)OBJECTIVES: We investigated the molecular epidemiology of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) from a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, revealing, for the first time, the population structure of UPEC in the ... -
Antimicrobial peptides as therapeutic agents.
(Egypt, 2012) -
Application of microarray and functional-based screening methods for the detection of antimicrobial resistance genes in the microbiomes of healthy humans.
(United States, 2014)The aim of this study was to screen for the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes within the saliva and faecal microbiomes of healthy adult human volunteers from five European countries. Two non-culture based approaches ... -
Application of the rainbow trout derived intestinal cell line (RTgutGC) for ecotoxicological studies: molecular and cellular responses following exposure to copper.
(United States, 2017-10)There is an acknowledged need for in vitro fish intestinal model to help understand dietary exposure to chemicals in the aquatic environment. The presence and use of such models is however largely restrictive due to ... -
The bacterial skin microbiome in psoriatic arthritis, an unexplored link in pathogenesis: challenges and opportunities offered by recent technological advances.
(England, 2014-05)The resident microbial community, harboured by humans in sites such as the skin and gastrointestinal tract, is enormous, representing a candidate environmental factor affecting susceptibility to complex diseases, where ... -
Bayesian estimation of Lassa virus epidemiological parameters: Implications for spillover prevention using wildlife vaccination

Biparental mucus feeding: a unique example of parental care in an Amazonian cichlid.
(England, 2010-11-15)Vertebrates display a wide variety of parental care behaviours, including the guarding of offspring pre and post nutritional independence as well as the direct provision of nutrients during the early development period. ... -
Butyrate regulation of distinct macrophage subsets: Opposing effects on M1 and M2 macrophages
(2011-12-01)Mucosal tolerance is central to efficient gastrointestinal tract function, tolerating food and commensal bacteria, whilst maintaining immune responsiveness to pathogens. Mucosal macrophages play a pivotal role in tolerance; ... -
CD44 is required for the pathogenesis of experimental crescentic glomerulonephritis and collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
(Elsevier, 2018-03)© 2017 International Society of Nephrology. A key feature of glomerular diseases such as crescentic glomerulonephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is the activation, migration and proliferation of parietal ... -
The challenge of regulation in a minimal photoautotroph: non-coding RNAs in Prochlorococcus.
(United States, 2008-08-29)Prochlorococcus, an extremely small cyanobacterium that is very abundant in the world's oceans, has a very streamlined genome. On average, these cells have about 2,000 genes and very few regulatory proteins. The limited ... -
Chemotherapy-induced genotoxic damage to bone marrow cells: long-term implications.
(2018-09-17)Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) within the bone marrow (BM) are vitally important in forming the micro-environment supporting haematopoiesis after myeloablative chemotherapy. MSCs are known to be damaged phenotypically ... -
ChIP-seq Experiment and Data Analysis in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Bio-Protocol, 2018-06-20) -
Choreography of the transcriptome, photophysiology, and cell cycle of a minimal photoautotroph, prochlorococcus.
(United States, 2009)The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus MED4 has the smallest genome and cell size of all known photosynthetic organisms. Like all phototrophs at temperate latitudes, it experiences predictable daily variation in available ... -
