A comparison of the mitochondrial proteome and lipidome in the mouse and long-lived Pipistrelle bats (2019)
Journal Article
Pollard, A. K., Ingram, T. L., Ortori, C. A., Shephard, F., Brown, M., Liddell, S., …Chakrabarti, L. (2019). A comparison of the mitochondrial proteome and lipidome in the mouse and long-lived Pipistrelle bats. Aging, 11(6), 1664-1685. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101861

It is accepted that smaller mammals with higher metabolic rates have shorter lifespans. The very few species that do not follow these rules can give insights into interesting differences. The recorded maximum lifespans of bats are exceptional - over... Read More about A comparison of the mitochondrial proteome and lipidome in the mouse and long-lived Pipistrelle bats.

Elevated 5hmC levels characterize DNA of the cerebellum in Parkinson’s disease (2017)
Journal Article
Stöger, R., Scaife, P., Shephard, F., & Chakrabarti, L. (in press). Elevated 5hmC levels characterize DNA of the cerebellum in Parkinson’s disease. npj Parkinson's Disease, 3(6), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41531-017-0007-3

5-methylcytosine and the oxidation product 5-hydroxymethylcytosine are two prominent epigenetic variants of the cytosine base in nuclear DNA of mammalian brains. We measured levels of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by enzyme-linked immu... Read More about Elevated 5hmC levels characterize DNA of the cerebellum in Parkinson’s disease.

Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration (2016)
Journal Article
Pollard, A., Shephard, F., Freed, J., Liddell, S., & Chakrabarti, L. (2016). Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration. Aging, 8(10), 2425-2436. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101064

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used to treat glaucoma and cancers. Carbonic anhydrases perform a crucial role in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate and protons. However, there is little information about carbonic anhydrase... Read More about Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration.
