Identification of proteins involved in transcription/translation (eEF 1A1) as an inhibitor of Bax induced apoptosis (2020)
Journal Article

Eukaryotic elongation factor 1A1 (eEF1A1) is central to translational activity. It is involved in complexes that form signal transduction with protein kinase C, as well as being a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. eEF1A1 and eEF1A2...

The Ancient Tree Inventory: a summary of the results of a 15 year citizen science project recording ancient, veteran and notable trees across the UK (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Ancient, veteran and notable trees are ecologically important keystone organisms and have tangible connections to folklore, history and sociocultural practices. Although found worldwide, few countries have such a rich history o...

Two weeks of early time-restricted feeding (eTRF) improves skeletal muscle insulin and anabolic sensitivity in healthy men (2020)
Journal Article

Copyright © The Author(s) on behalf of the American Society for Nutrition 2020. BACKGROUND: Altering the temporal distribution of energy intake (EI) and introducing periods of intermittent fasting (IF) exert important metabolic effects. Restricting E...

Using Esterase Selectivity to Determine the in Vivo Duration of Systemic Availability and Abolish Systemic Side Effects of Topical ?-Blockers (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 American Chemical Society. For disorders of the skin, eyes, ears, and respiratory tract, topical drugs, delivered directly to the target organ, are a therapeutic option. Compared with systemic oral therapy, the benefits of topical treatments i...

A Genetic Analysis of Tumor Progression in Drosophila Identifies the Cohesin Complex as a Suppressor of Individual and Collective Cell Invasion (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Authors Metastasis is the leading cause of death for patients with cancer. Consequently it is imperative that we improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie progression of tumor growth toward malignancy. Advances in...

Nanopore sequencing from extraction-free direct PCR of dried serum spots for portable hepatitis B virus drug-resistance typing (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Background: Effective drug regimens for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are essential to achieve the World Health Organisation commitment to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030. Lamivudine (3TC) is widely used in countries wi... Read More about Nanopore sequencing from extraction-free direct PCR of dried serum spots for portable hepatitis B virus drug-resistance typing.

Repeated exposure of naïve and peripheral nerve-injured mice to a snake as an experimental model of post-traumatic stress disorder and its co-morbidity with neuropathic pain (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Confrontation of rodents by natural predators provides a number of advantages as a model for traumatic or stressful experience. Using this approach, one of the aims of this study was to investigate a model for the study of post-t...

Metagenomics Reveals Impact of Geography and Acute Diarrhoeal Disease on the Central Indian Human Gut Microbiome (2020)
Journal Article

Background: The Central Indian gut microbiome remains grossly understudied. Herein, we sought to investigate the burden of antimicrobial resistance and diarrhoeal diseases, particularly Clostridioides difficile, in rural-agricultural and urban popula...

The Preservative Sorbic Acid Targets Respiration, Explaining the Resistance of Fermentative Spoilage Yeast Species (2020)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2020 Stratford et al. A small number (10 to 20) of yeast species cause major spoilage in foods. Spoilage yeasts of soft drinks are resistant to preservatives like sorbic acid, and they are highly fermentative, generating large amounts of...

Real-time dynamics of Plasmodium NDC80 reveals unusual modes of chromosome segregation during parasite proliferation (2020)
Journal Article

Eukaryotic cell proliferation requires chromosome replication and precise segregation to ensure daughter cells have identical genomic copies. The genus Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, displays remarkable aspects of nuclear division throug...
