The bio-physics of condensation of divalent cations into the bacterial wall has implications for growth of Gram-positive bacteria (2016)
Journal Article
Rauch, C., Cherkaoui-Rbati, M., Egan, S. A., & Leigh, J. A. (2017). The bio-physics of condensation of divalent cations into the bacterial wall has implications for growth of Gram-positive bacteria. BBA - Biomembranes, 1859(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2016.12.002

Background: The anionic-polyelectrolyte nature of the wall of Gram-positive bacteria has long been suspected to be involved in homeostasis of essential cations and bacterial growth. A better understanding of the coupling between the biophysics and th...

Palimpsest: improving assisted curation of loco-specific literature (2016)
Journal Article
Alex, B., Grover, C., Oberlander, J., Thomson, T., Anderson, M., Loxley, J., …Zhou, K. (2017). Palimpsest: improving assisted curation of loco-specific literature. Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, 32(Supp 1), Article i4-i16. https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqw050

Text mining and information visualization techniques applied to large-scale historical and literary document collections have enabled new types of humanities research. The assumption behind such efforts is often that trends will emerge from the analy... Read More about Palimpsest: improving assisted curation of loco-specific literature.

Journal Article
Clement, N., Braae, A., Turton, J., Lord, J., Guetta-Baranes, T., Medway, C., …Morgan, K. (in press). Investigating splicing variants uncovered by next-generation sequencing the Alzheimer’s disease candidate genes, CLU, PICALM, CR1, ABCA7, BIN1, the MS4A locus, CD2AP, EPHA1 and CD33. Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinsonism, 6(6), https://doi.org/10.4172/2161-0460.1000276

Late onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), the most common cause of late onset dementia, has a strong genetic component. To date, 21 disease-risk loci have been identified through genome wide association studies (GWAS). However, the causative functional...

Brown adipose tissue activation as measured by infrared thermography by mild anticipatory psychological stress in lean healthy females (2016)
Journal Article
Robinson, L. J., Law, J., Symonds, M. E., & Budge, H. (2016). Brown adipose tissue activation as measured by infrared thermography by mild anticipatory psychological stress in lean healthy females. Experimental Physiology, 101(4), 549-557. https://doi.org/10.1113/EP085642

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome and is a potential therapeutic target. Brown adipose tissue can have a significant impact on energy balance and glucose homeosta...

Streptococcus uberis strains isolated from the bovine mammary gland evade immune recognition by mammary epithelial cells, but not of macrophages (2016)
Journal Article
Günther, J., Czabanska, A., Bauer, I., Leigh, J. A., Holst, O., & Seyfert, H. (2016). Streptococcus uberis strains isolated from the bovine mammary gland evade immune recognition by mammary epithelial cells, but not of macrophages. Veterinary Research, 47(13), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-015-0287-8

Streptococcus uberis is frequently isolated from the mammary gland of dairy cattle. Infection with some strains can induce mild subclinical inflammation whilst others induce severe inflammation and clinical mastitis. We compared here the inflammatory...
