Background

Measurement of testicular artery blood flow is used in several species to evaluate reproductive function and testicular and scrotal pathology. In dogs there are inconsistent reports about normal flow in post-pubertal dogs and no informa...

Journal Article
Kurlak, L., Williams, P. J., Bulmer, J. N., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Mistry, H. D. (2015). Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system. Placenta, 36(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.02.011

Normal placentation occurs under low oxygen tensions yet hypoxia is also implicated in placental pathologies such as pre-eclampsia (PE). Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), adenosine and tissue renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) are known to promote angiog...

Animals and anomalies: an analysis of the UK veterinary profession and the relative lack of state reform (2015)
Journal Article
Hobson-West, P., & Timmons, S. (2016). Animals and anomalies: an analysis of the UK veterinary profession and the relative lack of state reform. Sociological Review, 64(1), 47-63. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-954X.12254

The sociology of professions literature would predict that the contemporary state would not allow groups to continue unregulated or unreformed. However, this is indeed the case with the UK veterinary profession, with legislation dating back to 1966....

Arginine dependence of acute myeloid leukaemia blast proliferation: a novel therapeutic target (2015)
Journal Article
Mussai, F., Egan, S. A., Higginbotham-Jones, J., Perry, T., Beggs, A., Odintsova, E., Loke, J., Pratt, G., Pong U, K., Lo, A., Ng, M., Kearns, P. R., Cheng, P., & De Santo, C. (2015). Arginine dependence of acute myeloid leukaemia blast proliferation: a novel therapeutic target. Blood, 125(15), https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2014-09-600643

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common acute leukemias in adults and children, yet significant numbers of patients relapse and die of disease. In this study, we identify the dependence of AML blasts on arginine for proliferation. We s...

IL-36α induces maturation of Th1-inducing human MDDC and synergises with IFN-γ to induce high surface expression of CD14 and CD11c (2015)
Journal Article
Higgins, J., Mutamba, S., Mahida, Y. R., Barrow, P., & Foster, N. (2015). IL-36α induces maturation of Th1-inducing human MDDC and synergises with IFN-γ to induce high surface expression of CD14 and CD11c. Human Immunology, 76(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.humimm.2015.01.012

We show that IL-36α induced maturation of human MDDCs and stimulated differentiation of IFN-γ producing (Type 1) CD3+ lymphocytes but was not as effective as IL-36β in doing so. For the first time, we also show that IL-36α induced expression of CD14...

The contribution of PA-X to the virulence of pandemic 2009 H1N1 and highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses. Scientific Reports, 5(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep08262

PA-X is a novel protein encoded by PA mRNA and is found to decrease the pathogenicity of pandemic 1918 H1N1 virus in mice. However, the importance of PA-X proteins in current epidemiologically important influenza A virus strains is not known. In this...

Fetal exposure to maternal undernutrition has lifelong consequences for physiological and metabolic function. Maternal low-protein diet is associated with an age-related phenotype in rats, characterised by a period of resistance to development of obe...
