Journal of Translational Medicine, 11(16), https://doi.org/10.1186/1479-5876-11-16

Background: Host defences play a key role in tumour growth. Some of the benefits of chemotherapy may occur through modulation of these defences. The aim of this study was to define the status of regulatory cells in women with large and locally advanc...

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can generate both osteoblasts and chondrocytes, represent an ideal resource for orthopaedic repair using tissue-engineering approaches. One major difficulty for the development of osteochondral constructs us... Read More about Transient serum exposure regimes to support dual differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

5-Carboxylcytosine is localized to euchromatic regions in the nuclei of follicular cells in axolotl ovary (2012)
Journal Article

5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) is an epigenetic modification associated with gene repression. Recent studies demonstrated that 5-mC can be enzymatically oxidised into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and further into 5-formylcytosine (5-fC) and 5-carboxylcytsine (5-...
