Screening Mutants by Single Fly Genomic PCR (2022)
Book Chapter
Imprecise P-element excision or FRT-mediated recombination is routinely performed to mutagenize a gene of interest. It is, however, tedious to maintain all independent and individual excised mutant fly lines before the presence of a mutation is confi... Read More about Screening Mutants by Single Fly Genomic PCR.
A Workflow to Track and Analyze Endothelial Migration During Vascular Development in Zebrafish Embryos Using Lightsheet Microscopy (2022)
Book Chapter
Zebrafish allow unrivalled in vivo imaging of vascular development due to their optical translucency and the availability of transgenic lines which fluorescently label cells and tissues of interest. Advances in light sheet fluorescence microscopy all...

In Vivo cAMP Dynamics in Drosophila Larval Neurons (2022)
Book Chapter
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a universal second messenger that mediates a myriad of cell functions across all kingdoms of life. The ability to monitor intracellular changes of cAMP concentration in living cells using FRET-based biosensors... Read More about In Vivo cAMP Dynamics in Drosophila Larval Neurons.
Immune-instructive materials and surfaces for medical applications (2021)
Book Chapter
Biomaterials are an integral part of modern medicine with diverse applications including drug delivery platforms, scaffolds for tissue engineering, biosensors and medical devices/implants. The aging population and steady increase in the prevalence of... Read More about Immune-instructive materials and surfaces for medical applications.
Neuromolecular Mechanisms of Cannabis Action (2020)
Book Chapter
Most of our current understanding of the neuromolecular mechanisms of Cannabis action focusses on two plant cannabinoids, THC and CBD. THC acts primarily through presynaptic CB cannabinoid receptors to regulate neurotransmitter release in the brain,... Read More about Neuromolecular Mechanisms of Cannabis Action.
Measuring vaccine responses in the multiplex era (2018)
Book Chapter
Vaccine studies in psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) provide an insight into biopsychosocial interactions and their role in infectious diseases. How to measure vaccine responses is therefore of critical importance for PNI researchers. In this chapter, trad... Read More about Measuring vaccine responses in the multiplex era.
Moonlighting Functions of Bacterial Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Aldolases (2017)
Book Chapter
© 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Moonlighting proteins are multifunctional proteins which perform two or more biochemical functions using a single polypeptide chain. Moonlighting proteins have been documented in diverse organisms, including archaea,... Read More about Moonlighting Functions of Bacterial Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Aldolases.
Mitochondrial function and dynamics imaged in vivo (2016)
Book Chapter
The previous chapters have described the extraordinary depth of knowledge of mitochondrial biology revealed by in vitro observations where the environment can be closely controlled. However, in recent years there has been increased interest in the st... Read More about Mitochondrial function and dynamics imaged in vivo.
Transcriptional regulation and responses in filamentous fungi exposed to lignocellulose (2015)
Book Chapter
Biofuels derived from lignocellulose are attractive alternative fuels but their production suffers from a costly and inefficient saccharification step that uses fungal enzymes. One route to improve this efficiency is to understand better the transcri... Read More about Transcriptional regulation and responses in filamentous fungi exposed to lignocellulose.
Biomimetic Human Lung Models (2014)
Book Chapter
New strategies for the treatment of lung disease are being sought to combat the increased prevalence of lung disease within the developedworld.As researchmoves away from reliance upon the use of animal models in pre-clinical studies innovative method... Read More about Biomimetic Human Lung Models.

Imaging Angiogenesis, Inflammation, and Metastasis in the Tumor Microenvironment with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2013)
Book Chapter
With the development of new imaging techniques, the potential for probing the molecular, cellular, and structural components of the tumor microenvironment in situ has increased dramatically. A multitude of imaging modalities have been successfully em... Read More about Imaging Angiogenesis, Inflammation, and Metastasis in the Tumor Microenvironment with Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Cellular and Viral Mechanisms of HIV-1 Transmission Mediated by Dendritic Cells (2012)
Book Chapter
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in the initial infection and cell-to-cell transmission events that occur upon HIV-1 infection. DCs interact closely with CD4+ T cells, the main target of HIV-1 replication. HIV-1 challenged DCs and target CD4+ T...

Hormone transport (2010)
Book Chapter
Hormone transport in plants is a fundamental process governing all aspects of plant development. Identification and functional analysis of plasma membrane proteins, which regulate the import and export of plant hormones, is a requirement if we are to... Read More about Hormone transport.
Heterobranchia II: The Pulmonata (2008)
Book Chapter
This chapter focuses on the Pulmonata, gastropods belonging to the clade Heterobranchia. It explains that the pulmonates include the large majority of land snails and slugs, as well as many freshwater snails and a few small families of estuarine and...
