Paternal low protein diet perturbs inter-generational metabolic homeostasis in a tissue-specific manner in mice (2022)
Journal Article
Morgan, H. L., Furse, S., Dias, I. H. K., Shabir, K., Castellanos, M., Khan, I., …Watkins, A. J. (2022). Paternal low protein diet perturbs inter-generational metabolic homeostasis in a tissue-specific manner in mice. Communications Biology, 5(1), Article 929. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-022-03914-8

The underlying mechanisms driving paternally-programmed metabolic disease in offspring remain poorly defined. We fed male C57BL/6 mice either a control normal protein diet (NPD; 18% protein) or an isocaloric low protein diet (LPD; 9% protein) for a m...

CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity (2021)
Journal Article
Rusu, A. D., Cornhill, Z. E., Coutiño, B. C., Uribe, M. C., Lourdusamy, A., Markus, Z., …Georgiou, M. (2021). CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity. Open Biology, 11(9), Article 210077. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.210077

Approximately 90% of cancer-related deaths can be attributed to a tumour's ability to spread. We have identified CG7379, the fly orthologue of human ING1, as a potent invasion suppressor. ING1 is a type II tumour suppressor with well-established role... Read More about CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity.

Identification of gene modules associated with low temperatures response in Bambara groundnut by network-based analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Bonthala, V. S., Mayes, S., Moreton, J., Blythe, M. J., Wright, V., May, S., Massawe, F., Mayes, S., & Twycross, J. (2016). Identification of gene modules associated with low temperatures response in Bambara groundnut by network-based analysis. PLoS ONE, 11(2), Article e0148771. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0148771

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is an African legume and is a promising underutilized crop with good seed nutritional values. Low temperature stress in a number of African countries at night, such as Botswana, can effect the growth...

Low-intensity microwave irradiation does not substantially alter gene expression in late larval and adult Caenorhabditis elegans. (2009)
Journal Article
Dawe, A. S., Bodhicharla, R., Graham, N., May, S., Reader, T., Loader, B., …de Pomerai, D. I. (2009). Low-intensity microwave irradiation does not substantially alter gene expression in late larval and adult Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioelectromagnetics, 30(8), https://doi.org/10.1002/bem.20515

Reports that low-intensity microwave radiation induces heat-shock reporter gene expression in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, have recently been reinterpreted as a subtle thermal effect caused by slight heating. This study used a microwave exp... Read More about Low-intensity microwave irradiation does not substantially alter gene expression in late larval and adult Caenorhabditis elegans..
