Background
Iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy is a global problem, with short and long term consequences for maternal and child health. Animal models have demonstrated that the developing fetus is vulnerable to maternal iron restriction, impac...

Disability and Rehabilitation, 35(25), https://doi.org/10.3109/09638288.2013.771705

PURPOSE:
Children with disabilities are two to three times more likely to become overweight or obese than typically developing children. Children with spina bifida (SB) are at particular risk, yet obesity prevalence and weight management with this p...

Soil-type influences human selenium status and underlies widespread selenium deficiency risks in Malawi (2013)
Journal Article
Hurst, R., Siyame, E. W., Young, S. D., Chilimba, A. D., Joy, E. J., Black, C. R., …Broadley, M. R. (2013). Soil-type influences human selenium status and underlies widespread selenium deficiency risks in Malawi. Scientific Reports, 3(1425), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep01425

Selenium (Se) is an essential human micronutrient with critical roles in immune functioning and antioxidant defence. Estimates of dietary Se intakes and status are scarce for Africa although crop surveys indicate deficiency is probably widespread in...

Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues (2013)
Journal Article
Lucas, M., Kenobi, K., Von Wangenheim, D., Voß, U., Swarup, K., De Smet, I., …Bennett, M. J. (2013). Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110(13), 5229-5234. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1210807110

In Arabidopsis, lateral root primordia (LRPs) originate from pericycle cells located deep within the parental root and have to emerge through endodermal, cortical, and epidermal tissues. These overlaying tissues place biomechanical constraints on the... Read More about Lateral root morphogenesis is dependent on the mechanical properties of the overlaying tissues.

Background: The investigation of structural organisation in lignocellulose materials is important to understand
changes in cellulase accessibility and reactivity resulting from hydrothermal deconstruction, to allow development
of strategies to maxi... Read More about Structural reorganisation of cellulose fibrils in hydrothermally deconstructed lignocellulosic biomass and relationships with enzyme digestibility.

Exploitation of interspecific diversity for monocot crop improvement (2013)
Journal Article
