M., Mbemba, M., Boom, A., Ifo, S. A., Lewis, S. L., & Sjögersten, S. (2025). The temperature dependence of greenhouse gas production from Central African savannah soils. Geoderma Regional, 40, Article e00934. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geodrs.2025.e00934

Savannahs cover 20 % of the global land surface, but there have been few studies of greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics from savannah soils. Here, we assess potential turnover of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from surface (0–1...

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...

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...

Renal accumulation of prooxidant mineral elements and CKD in domestic cats (2020)
Journal Article
Alborough, R., Grau-Roma, L., de Brot, S., Hantke, G., Vazquez, S., & Gardner, D. S. (2020). Renal accumulation of prooxidant mineral elements and CKD in domestic cats. Scientific Reports, 10(1), Article 3160. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-59876-6

Felids have a high incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), for which the most common renal lesion is chronic interstitial nephritis (CIN). CIN can be induced by tissue oxidative stress, which is determined by the cellular balance of pro- and anti-...
