Comparison of ambient solvent extraction methods for the analysis of fatty acids in non-starch lipids of flour and starch (2014)
Journal Article
Bahrami, N., Yonekura, L., Linforth, R. S., Carvalho da Silva, M., Hill, S., Penson, S., Chope, G., & Fisk, I. D. (2014). Comparison of ambient solvent extraction methods for the analysis of fatty acids in non-starch lipids of flour and starch. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 94(3), https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.6449

BACKGROUND: Lipids are minor components of flours, but are major determinants of baking properties and end-product
quality. To the best of our knowledge, there is no single solvent system currently known that efficiently extracts all non-starch lipids... Read More about Comparison of ambient solvent extraction methods for the analysis of fatty acids in non-starch lipids of flour and starch.

Background: Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) technologies have made huge impacts in many fields of biological research, but especially in evolutionary biology. One area where NGS has shown potential is for high-throughput sequencing of complete m...

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article
Dyson, R. J., Vizcay-Barrena, G., Band, L. R., Fernandes, A. N., French, A. P., Fozard, J. A., Hodgman, T. C., Kenobi, K., Pridmore, T. P., Stout, M., Wells, D. M., Wilson, M. H., Bennett, M. J., & Jensen, O. E. (2014). Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending. New Phytologist, 202(4), 1212-1222. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.12764

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.

The impact of cafeteria feeding during lactation in the rat on novel object discrimination in the offspring (2014)
Journal Article
Wright, T., King, M., Davey, W., Langley-Evans, S. . C., & Voigt, J.-P. (2014). The impact of cafeteria feeding during lactation in the rat on novel object discrimination in the offspring. British Journal of Nutrition, 112, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114514003134

There is increasing evidence that hyperenergetic diets impact on memory in rodents. However, it is largely unknown how diets, such as a cafeteria diet (CD), that mimic a Western diet act on learning and memory, in particular when fed during early sta...

Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data (2014)
Journal Article
Lai, H.-M., May, S., & Mayes, S. (2014). Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data. Microarrays, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/microarrays3010001

Genomic DNA-based probe selection by using high density oligonucleotide arrays has recently been applied to heterologous species (Xspecies). With the advent of this new approach, researchers are able to study the genome and transcriptome of a non-mod...

A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes (2014)
Journal Article
variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes. Journal of Experimental Botany, 65(8), 2039-2048. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eru048

The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with...

Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid (2013)
Journal Article
Altobelli, G., Bogdarina, I., Stupka, E., Clark, A. J., & Langley-Evans, S. C. (2013). Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid. PLoS ONE, 8, Article e82989. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0082989

A large body of evidence from human and animal studies demonstrates that the maternal diet during pregnancy can programme physiological and metabolic functions in the developing fetus, effectively determining susceptibility to later disease. The mech... Read More about Genome-wide methylation and gene expression changes in newborn rats following maternal protein restriction and reversal by folic acid.

Exposure of neonatal rats to maternal cafeteria feeding during suckling alters hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation in the insulin signalling pathway (2013)
Journal Article
Daniel, Z., Akyol, A., McMullen, S., & Langley-Evans, S. C. (2013). Exposure of neonatal rats to maternal cafeteria feeding during suckling alters hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation in the insulin signalling pathway. Genes and Nutrition, 9(1), Article 365. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12263-013-0365-3

Nutrition in early life is a determinant of lifelong physiological and metabolic function. Diseases that are associated with ageing may, therefore, have their antecedents in maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation. Rat mothers were fed eith...

Background

A reduced exercise capacity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therapeutic exercise can be beneficial and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the...
