Journal Article
Tarantini, F. S., Wu, S., Jenkins, H., Lopez, A. T., Tomlin, H., Hyde, R., …Benest, A. V. (2022). Direct RT-qPCR Assay for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Saliva Samples. Methods and Protocols, 5(2), Article 25. https://doi.org/10.3390/mps5020025

Since mid-2020 there have been complexities and difficulties in the standardisation and administration of nasopharyngeal swabs. Coupled with the variable and/or poor accuracy of lateral flow devices, this has led to increased societal ‘testing fatigu...

Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource? (2021)
Journal Article
Pijuan-Galito, S., Tarantini, F. S., Tomlin, H., Jenkins, H., Thompson, J. L., Scales, D., …Denning, C. (2021). Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource?. Frontiers in Virology, 1, Article 778790. https://doi.org/10.3389/fviro.2021.778790

During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries with robust population-based asymptomatic testing were generally successful in controlling virus spread, hence reducing hospitalizations and deaths. This effectiveness inspired widespread asymptomatic surveilla... Read More about Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource?.

Journal Article
Almasmoum, H., Airhihen, B., Seedhouse, C., & Winkler, G. S. (2020). Frequent loss of BTG1 activity and impaired interactions with the Caf1 subunit of the Ccr4–Not deadenylase in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Leukemia & Lymphoma, 62(2), 281-290. https://doi.org/10.1080/10428194.2020.1827243

© 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Mutations in the highly similar genes B-cell translocation gene 1 (BTG1) and BTG2 are identified in approximately 10–15% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases, which may suggest a direct involve...

The natural alkaloid Jerantinine B has activity in acute myeloid leukemia cells through a mechanism involving c-Jun (2020)
Journal Article
Alhuthali, H. M., Bradshaw, T. D., Lim, K. H., Kam, T. S., & Seedhouse, C. H. (2020). The natural alkaloid Jerantinine B has activity in acute myeloid leukemia cells through a mechanism involving c-Jun. BMC Cancer, 20, Article 629. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-020-07119-2

© 2020 The Author(s). Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogenous hematological malignancy with poor long-term survival. New drugs which improve the outcome of AML patients are urgently required. In this work, the activity and mechanis...
