LINE-1 transcription in round spermatids is associated with accretion of 5-carboxylcytosine in their open reading frames (2021)
Journal Article

Chromatin of male and female gametes undergoes a number of reprogramming events during the transition from germ cell to embryonic developmental programs. Although the rearrangement of DNA methylation patterns occurring in the zygote has been extensiv...

The use of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to monitor cell surface ?2?adrenoceptors at low expression levels in human embryonic stem cell?derived cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts (2021)
Journal Article

The importance of cell phenotype in determining the molecular mechanisms underlying ?2- adrenoceptor (?2AR) function has been noted previously when comparing responses in primary cells and recombinant model cell lines. Here, we have generated haploty...

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated generation and analysis of N terminus polymorphic models of ?2AR in isogenic hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 During normal- and patho-physiological situations, the behavior of the beta2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) is influenced by polymorphic variants. The functional impact of such polymorphisms has been suggested from data derived from genetic association...

Complex formation between VEGFR2 and the β2-adrenoceptor (2019)
Journal Article

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important mediator of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis via its receptor VEGFR2. A common tumor associated with elevated VEGFR2 signaling is infantile hemangioma that is caused by a rapid... Read More about Complex formation between VEGFR2 and the β2-adrenoceptor.

Visualising ligand-binding to a GPCR in vivo using nanoBRET (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Author(s) The therapeutic action of a drug depends on its ability to engage with its molecular target in vivo. However, current drug discovery strategies quantify drug levels within organs rather than determining the binding of drugs direc...

Simplified footprint-free Cas9/CRISPR editing of cardiac-associated genes in human pluripotent stem cells (2018)
Journal Article

Modelling disease with hPSCs is hindered because the impact on cell phenotype from genetic variability between individuals can be greater than from the pathogenic mutation. While ‘footprint-free’ Cas9/CRISPR editing solves this issue, existing approa...

Cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells: from laboratory curiosity to industrial biomedical platform (2015)
Journal Article

Cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs-CMs) could revolutionise biomedicine. Global burden of heart failure will soon reach USD $90bn, while unexpected cardiotoxicity underlies 28% of drug withdrawals. Advances in hPSC isolation, Cas...
