Expression and function of K(ATP) channels in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes: possible role in glucose sensing (2013)
Journal Article
Rufino, A. T., Rosa, S. C., Judas, F., Mobasheri, A., Lopes, M. C., & Mendes, A. F. (2013). Expression and function of K(ATP) channels in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes: possible role in glucose sensing. Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 114(8), https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.24532

ATP-sensitive potassium [K(ATP)] channels sense intracellular ATP/ADP levels, being essential components of a glucose-sensing apparatus in various cells that couples glucose metabolism, intracellular ATP/ADP levels and membrane potential. These chann... Read More about Expression and function of K(ATP) channels in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes: possible role in glucose sensing.

Current progress with serological assays for exotic emerging / re-emerging viruses (2013)
Journal Article
Mather, S., Scott, S., Temperton, N., Wright, E., King, B., & Daly, J. (2013). Current progress with serological assays for exotic emerging / re-emerging viruses. Future Virology, 8(8), https://doi.org/10.2217/fvl.13.60

Recent decades have witnessed an unprecedented rise in the outbreak occurrence of infectious and primarily zoonotic viruses. Contributing factors to this phenomenon include heightened global connectivity via air travel and international trade links,...

Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics (2013)
Journal Article
Higgins, H. M., Huxley, J., Wapenaar, W., & Green, M. J. (2013). Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics. Veterinary Record, 173(10), Article 246. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.101692

Characteristics of 94 veterinary surgeons associated with delivering preventive herd-level strategies to control mastitis, lameness and Johne's disease were investigated using two multinomial models. The response variables were ‘Gold Standard Monitor... Read More about Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics.

Sex differences in metabolic and adipose tissue responses to juvenile-onset obesity in sheep (2013)
Journal Article
Bloor, I. D., Sébert, S. P., Saroha, V., Gardner, D. S., Keisler, D. H., Budge, H., …Mahajan, R. P. (2013). Sex differences in metabolic and adipose tissue responses to juvenile-onset obesity in sheep. Endocrinology, 154(10), https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2013-1207

Sex is a major factor determining adipose tissue distribution and the subsequent adverse effects of obesity-related disease including type 2 diabetes. The role of gender on juvenile obesity and the accompanying metabolic and inflammatory responses is...

Polycomb recruitment attenuates retinoic acid–induced transcription of the bivalent NR2F1 gene (2013)
Journal Article
Laursen, K. B., Mongan, N. P., Zhuang, Y., Ng, M. M., Benoit, Y. D., & Gudas, L. J. (2013). Polycomb recruitment attenuates retinoic acid–induced transcription of the bivalent NR2F1 gene. Nucleic Acids Research, 41(13), 6430–6443. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkt367

Polycomb proteins play key roles in mediating epigenetic modifications that occur during cell differentiation. The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediates the tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In this study, we identify a dist...

Methods used to estimate the size of the owned cat and dog population: a systematic review (2013)
Journal Article
Downes, M. J., Dean, R. S., Stavisky, J. H., Adams, V. J., Grindlay, D. J., & Brennan, M. L. (2013). Methods used to estimate the size of the owned cat and dog population: a systematic review. BMC Veterinary Research, 9(June), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-6148-9-121

Background: There are a number of different methods that can be used when estimating the size of the owned cat and dog population in a region, leading to varying population estimates. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review to evalu... Read More about Methods used to estimate the size of the owned cat and dog population: a systematic review.
