Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important mediator of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis via its receptor VEGFR2. A common tumor associated with elevated VEGFR2 signaling is infantile hemangioma that is caused by a rapid... Read More about Complex formation between VEGFR2 and the β2-adrenoceptor.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives (2018)
Journal Article

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to public health globally, manifested by the frequent emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens that render current chemotherapy inadequate. Health organizations worldwide have recognized the sever... Read More about Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing systems as drug discovery targets: current position and future perspectives.

Fibre sub-type specific conduction reveals metabolic function in mouse sciatic nerve (2018)
Journal Article
Rich, L., & Brown, A. M. (2018). Fibre sub-type specific conduction reveals metabolic function in mouse sciatic nerve. Journal of Physiology, 596(10), https://doi.org/10.1113/JP275680

The stimulus evoked compound action potential (CAP), recorded using suction electrodes, provides an index of the relative number of conducting axons within a nerve trunk. As such the CAP has been used to elucidate the diverse mechanisms of injury res... Read More about Fibre sub-type specific conduction reveals metabolic function in mouse sciatic nerve.

Therapeutic benefit for late, but not early, passage mesenchymal stem cells on pain behaviour in an animal model of osteoarthritis (2017)
Journal Article
Chapman, V., Markides, H., Sagar, D. R., Xu, L., Burston, J. J., Mapp, P., …El Haj, A. J. (2017). Therapeutic benefit for late, but not early, passage mesenchymal stem cells on pain behaviour in an animal model of osteoarthritis. Stem Cells International, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/2905104

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of osteoarthritic (OA) joint pathology and pain. The aims of this study were to determine the influence of a passage number on the effects of MSCs on pain behavi...

Association of beta-blocker use with less prevalent joint pain and lower opioid requirement in people with osteoarthritis (2017)
Journal Article
Valdes, A. M., Abhishek, A., Muir, K., Zhang, W., Maciewicz, R. A., & Doherty, M. (2017). Association of beta-blocker use with less prevalent joint pain and lower opioid requirement in people with osteoarthritis. Arthritis Care and Research, 69(7), 1076-1081. https://doi.org/10.1002/acr.23091

Objective: Recent findings suggest that β-adrenergic blockers have anti-nociceptive properties. The aim of this study was to compare levels of large joint pain between those on adrenergic blockers and those on other antihypertensive medications. Met...

Objectives: To investigate serum biomarkers, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAcP5b) and cathepsin K, indicative of osteoclastic bone resorption, and their relationship to pain and pain change in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Sera and... Read More about Pain prediction by serum biomarkers of bone turnover in people with knee osteoarthritis: an observational study of TRAcP5b and cathepsin K in OA.

Prior Consumption of a Fat Meal in Healthy Adults Modulates the Brain's Response to Fat (2016)
Journal Article
