Root hydrotropism is controlled via a cortex-specific growth mechanism (2017)
Journal Article
Dietrich, D., Pang, L., Kobayashi, A., Fozard, J. A., Boudolf, V., Bhosale, R., …Bennett, M. J. (2017). Root hydrotropism is controlled via a cortex-specific growth mechanism. Nature Plants, 3(6), Article 17057. https://doi.org/10.1038/nplants.2017.57

Plants can acclimate by using tropisms to link the direction of growth to environmental conditions. Hydrotropism allows roots to forage for water, a process known to depend on abscisic acid (ABA) but whose molecular and cellular basis remains unclear...

Mathematical modelling of cytokines, MMPs and fibronectin fragments in osteoarthritic cartilage (2017)
Journal Article
Baker, M., Brook, B. S., & Owen, M. R. (2017). Mathematical modelling of cytokines, MMPs and fibronectin fragments in osteoarthritic cartilage. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 75(4), 985-1024. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-017-1104-y

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease which causes pain and stiffness in joints. OA progresses through excessive degradation of joint cartilage, eventually leading to significant joint degeneration and loss of function. Cytokines, a group of...
