Towards a general model for predicting minimal metal concentrations co-selecting for antibiotic resistance plasmids (2021)
Journal Article
Arya, S., Williams, A., Reina, S. V., Knapp, C. W., Kreft, J.-U., Hobman, J. L., & Stekel, D. J. (2021). Towards a general model for predicting minimal metal concentrations co-selecting for antibiotic resistance plasmids. Environmental Pollution, 275, Article 116602. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2021.116602

© 2021 Elsevier Ltd Many antibiotic resistance genes co-occur with resistance genes for transition metals, such as copper, zinc, or mercury. In some environments, a positive correlation between high metal concentration and high abundance of antibioti...

Selenium speciation and bioaccessibility in Se-fertilised crops of dietary importance in Malawi (2021)
Journal Article
Muleya, M., Young, S. D., Reina, S. V., Ligowe, I. S., Broadley, M. R., Joy, E. J., …Bailey, E. H. (2021). Selenium speciation and bioaccessibility in Se-fertilised crops of dietary importance in Malawi. Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 98, Article 103841. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2021.103841

© 2021 The Author(s) The purpose of this research was to explore the speciation and bioaccessibility of native soil-derived selenium (Se) versus Se applied via fertiliser in the edible portions of maize, groundnut and cowpea grown in Malawi. Fertilis... Read More about Selenium speciation and bioaccessibility in Se-fertilised crops of dietary importance in Malawi.

Rapidly Transducing and Spatially Localized Magnetofection Using Peptide-Mediated Non-Viral Gene Delivery Based on Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (2020)
Journal Article
Blokpoel Ferreras, L. A., Chan, S. Y., Vazquez Reina, S., & Dixon, J. E. (2021). Rapidly Transducing and Spatially Localized Magnetofection Using Peptide-Mediated Non-Viral Gene Delivery Based on Iron Oxide Nanoparticles. ACS Applied Nano Materials, 4(1), 167-181. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsanm.0c02465

Non-viral delivery systems are generally of low efficiency, which limits their use in gene therapy and editing applications. We previously developed a technology termed glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding enhanced transduction (GET) to efficiently delive...
