Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK): a potential cancer drug target (2011)
Journal Article

The inability to faithfully segregate chromosomes in mitosis results in chromosome instability, a hallmark of solid tumors. Disruption of microtubule dynamics contributes highly to mitotic chromosome instability. The kinesin-13 family is critical in...

Influence of screw holes and gamma sterilization on properties of phosphate glass fiber-reinforced composite bone plates (2011)
Journal Article

Polymers prepared from polylactic acid (PLA) have found a multitude of uses as medical devices. For a material that degrades, the main advantage is that an implant would not necessitate a second surgical event for removal. In this study, fibers produ...

A Multi-Objective Approach to Force Field Optimization: Structures and Spin State Energetics of d6 Fe(II) Complexes (2011)
Journal Article

The next generation of force fields (FFs), regardless of the accuracy of the potential energy representation, will always have parameters that must be fitted in order to reproduce experimental and/or ab initio data accurately. Single objective metho... Read More about A Multi-Objective Approach to Force Field Optimization: Structures and Spin State Energetics of d6 Fe(II) Complexes.

The endocrine disruptors dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) influence Leydig cell regeneration following ethane dimethane sulphonate treatment of adult male rats (2011)
Journal Article

The manner by which endocrine-disrupting xenobiotics, such as phthalates, can induce changes in the development of the male reproductive system still remains largely unknown. Herein, we have explored the application of ethane dimethane sulphonate (ED...
