V., Soler Artigas, M., Melén, E., Ushey, K., Hao, K., Lamontagne, M., Bossé, Y., Postma, D. S., Tobin, M. D., Sayers, I., & Hall, I. P. (2013). GSTCD and INTS12 regulation and expression in the human lung. PLoS ONE, 8(9), Article e74630. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0074630

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) meta-analyses have identified a strong association signal for lung function, which maps to a region on 4q24 containing two oppositely transcribed genes: glutathione S-transferase, C-terminal domain containing (GST...

Site-specific relaxase activity of a VirD2-like protein encoded within the tfs4 genomic island of Helicobacter pylori (2013)
Journal Article
Grove, J. I., Alandiyjany, M. N., & Delahay, R. M. (2013). Site-specific relaxase activity of a VirD2-like protein encoded within the tfs4 genomic island of Helicobacter pylori. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 288(37), https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M113.496430

Four different type IV secretion systems are variously represented in the genomes of different Helicobacter pylori strains. Two of these, encoded by tfs3 and tfs4 gene clusters are contained within self-transmissible genomic islands. Although chromos...

Same-sex sexual identity development in an Indian context (2013)
Journal Article
Kumar Pandya, A., Pandya, S., & das Nair, R. (2013). Same-sex sexual identity development in an Indian context. Psychology of Sexualities Section Review, 4(1),

One of the challenges of writing a chapter on inter sectionality, with a specific emphasis on sexuality and ethnicity, is that specificity distorts the ideal of inter sectionality, which seeks to see people as multiple composites of identities, not s...

Alcohol imagery on popularly viewed television in the UK (2013)
Journal Article
Lyons, A., McNeill, A., & Britton, J. (2013). Alcohol imagery on popularly viewed television in the UK. Journal of Public Health, https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdt074

Background: Exposure to alcohol consumption and product imagery in films is associated with increased alcohol consumption among young people, but the extent to which exposure also occurs through television is not clear. We have measured the occurrenc... Read More about Alcohol imagery on popularly viewed television in the UK.

Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of common non-gastrointestinal cancers: series of nested case–control studies using two primary-care databases (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed osteoporosis drugs but long-term effects are unclear, although antitumour properties are known from preclinical studies.
Methods: Nested case–control studies were conducted to investigate... Read More about Exposure to bisphosphonates and risk of common non-gastrointestinal cancers: series of nested case–control studies using two primary-care databases.

The UmuC subunit of the E. coli DNA polymerase V shows a unique interaction with the β-clamp processivity factor (2013)
Journal Article
Patoli, A. A., Winter, J. A., & Bunting, K. A. (2013). The UmuC subunit of the E. coli DNA polymerase V shows a unique interaction with the β-clamp processivity factor. BMC Structural Biology, 13(July), Article 13. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6807-13-12

Background
Strict regulation of replisome components is essential to ensure the accurate transmission of the genome to the next generation. The sliding clamp processivity factors play a central role in this regulation, interacting with both DNA poly...

Adenosine-A3 receptors in neutrophil microdomains promote the formation of bacteria-tethering cytonemes (2013)
Journal Article
Corriden, R., Self, T., Akong-Moore, K., Nizet, V., Kellam, B., Briddon, S. J., & Hill, S. J. (2013). Adenosine-A3 receptors in neutrophil microdomains promote the formation of bacteria-tethering cytonemes. EMBO Reports, 14(8), https://doi.org/10.1038/embor.2013.89

The A3‐adenosine receptor (A3AR) has recently emerged as a key regulator of neutrophil behaviour. Using a fluorescent A3AR ligand, we show that A3ARs aggregate in highly polarized immunomodulatory microdomains on human neutrophil membranes. In additi...
