Journal Article
Omran, Z., Scaife, P., Stewart, S., & Rauch, C. (2017). Physical and biological characteristics of multi drug resistance (MDR): an integral approach considering pH and drug resistance in cancer. Seminars in Cancer Biology, 43, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semcancer.2017.01.002

The role of the Warburg effect in cancer remains to be elucidated with a resurgence in research efforts over the past decade. Why a cancer cell would prefer to use energy inefficient glycolysis, leading to an alteration of pH both inside and outside...

Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system (2015)
Journal Article
Kurlak, L., Williams, P. J., Bulmer, J. N., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Mistry, H. D. (2015). Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system. Placenta, 36(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.02.011

Normal placentation occurs under low oxygen tensions yet hypoxia is also implicated in placental pathologies such as pre-eclampsia (PE). Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), adenosine and tissue renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) are known to promote angiog...

Is the atherosclerotic phenotype of pre-eclamptic placentas due to altered lipoprotein concentrations and placental lipoprotein receptors?: role of a small-for-gestational-age phenotype (2013)
Journal Article
Hentchke, M., Poli-de-Figueiredo, C., Pinheiro da Costa, B., Kurlak, L., Williams, P. J., & Mistry, H. D. (2013). Is the atherosclerotic phenotype of pre-eclamptic placentas due to altered lipoprotein concentrations and placental lipoprotein receptors?: role of a small-for-gestational-age phenotype. Journal of Lipid Research, 54, https://doi.org/10.1194/jlr.M036699

Artherosis of spiral arteries in uteroplacental beds from pre-eclamptic women resemble those of atherosclerosis, characterised by increased plasma lipids and lipoproteins. We hypothesised 1) lipoproteins receptors/transporter in placenta would be up-...

Folate transporter expression decreases in the human placenta throughout pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia (2012)
Journal Article
Williams, P. J., Mistry, H. D., & Morgan, L. (2012). Folate transporter expression decreases in the human placenta throughout pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia. Pregnancy Hypertension, 2(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.preghy.2011.12.001

The transport of folate across the placenta involves a number of different receptors including folate receptor-alpha (FR-?), reduced folate carrier (RFC) and proton coupled folate transporter (PCFT). In addition there are a number of ATP-dependent tr... Read More about Folate transporter expression decreases in the human placenta throughout pregnancy and in pre-eclampsia.

The importance of antioxidant micronutrients and vitamins in pregnancy (2011)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., & Williams, P. J. (2011). The importance of antioxidant micronutrients and vitamins in pregnancy. Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1155/2011/841749

Pregnancy places increased demands on the mother to provide not only adequate nutrition to support her own health but also to enable the growth and development of the conceptus. A key role of a number of micronutrients and vitamins is their function... Read More about The importance of antioxidant micronutrients and vitamins in pregnancy.
