Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) are essential mineral nutrients poorly supplied in many human food systems. In grazing livestock, Mg and Ca deficiencies are costly welfare issues. Here, we report a Brassica rapa loss-of-function schengen3 (sgn3) muta... Read More about Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa.

Engulfment, persistance and fate of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus predators inside human phagocytic cells informs their future therapeutic potential (2019)
Journal Article
Raghunathan, D., Radford, P. M., Gell, C., Negus, D., Moore, C., Till, R., …Tyson, J. (2019). Engulfment, persistance and fate of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus predators inside human phagocytic cells informs their future therapeutic potential. Scientific Reports, 9, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-40223-3

In assessing the potential of predatory bacteria, such as Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, to become live therapeutic agents against bacterial infections, it is crucial to understand and quantify Bdellovibrio host cell interactions at a molecular level. H... Read More about Engulfment, persistance and fate of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus predators inside human phagocytic cells informs their future therapeutic potential.

Gfi1aa and Gfi1b set the pace for primitive erythroblast differentiation from hemangioblasts in the zebrafish embryo (2018)
Journal Article
