Neuron-glia crosstalk in health and disease: fractalkine and CX3CR1 take centre stage (2013)
Journal Article

An essential aspect of normal brain function is the bidirectional interaction and communication between neurons and neighbouring glial cells. To this end, the brain has evolved ligand-receptor partnerships that facilitate crosstalk between different...

Post-processing of polymer foam tissue scaffolds with high power ultrasound: A route to increased pore interconnectivity, pore size and fluid transport (2013)
Journal Article

The aimof this work is to demonstrate that the structural and fluidic properties of polymer foamtissue scaffolds, post-fabrication but prior to the introduction of cells, can be engineered via exposure to high power ultrasound. Our analysis is suppor... Read More about Post-processing of polymer foam tissue scaffolds with high power ultrasound: A route to increased pore interconnectivity, pore size and fluid transport.

SHON Is a novel estrogen-regulated oncogene in mammary carcinoma that predicts patient response to endocrine therapy (2013)
Journal Article

Endocrine therapies are the primary systemic intervention for patients with estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, a significant proportion of initially responsive ER+ tumors develop resistance, with relapses occurring in up to 50%...

Mathematical analysis of the equivalent impedance at the harmonic frequency for the proposed aircraft power system (2013)
Journal Article

The proposals for the `More Electric Aircraft' place a significant, increased demand on the electrical power distribution system. To increase safety and reduce aircraft maintenance times on the ground, there is a greater need to quickly identify and...

Application of machine learning to proteomics data: classification and biomarker identification in postgenomics biology (2013)
Journal Article

Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique for the characterization of biological samples and is increasingly used in omics studies because of its targeted, nontargeted, and high throughput abilities. However, due to the large datasets generated, i... Read More about Application of machine learning to proteomics data: classification and biomarker identification in postgenomics biology.

Consumer preferences for cultural heritage and tourism e-services: a case study of three European cities (2013)
Journal Article

This paper reports the results of a marketing study aimed at discovering consumer preferences for the e-services in European cultural destinations. Our results are central to eliciting potential consumers’ preferences for tourism and cultural heritag...

Design/methodology/approach – The study involved two... Read More about Approaches to “mental health” in low-income countries: a case study of Uganda.

Cost implications of treatment non-completion in a forensic personality disorder service (2013)
Journal Article

Background A high proportion of individuals admitted to specialist secure hospital services for treatment of personality disorder do not complete treatment. Non-completion has been associated with poorer treatment outcomes and increased rates of rec...

Comparison of algorithms that detect drug side effects using electronic healthcare databases (2013)
Journal Article

The electronic healthcare databases are starting to become more readily available and are thought to have excellent potential for generating adverse drug reaction signals. The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database is an electronic healthcare dat... Read More about Comparison of algorithms that detect drug side effects using electronic healthcare databases.

Ambient DESI and LESA-MS analysis of proteins adsorbed to a biomaterial surface using in-situ surface tryptic digestion (2013)
Journal Article

The detection and identification of proteins adsorbed onto biomaterial surfaces under ambient conditions has significant experimental advantages but has proven to be difficult to achieve with conventional measuring technologies. In this study, we pre... Read More about Ambient DESI and LESA-MS analysis of proteins adsorbed to a biomaterial surface using in-situ surface tryptic digestion.

Pseudodynamic tests on a full-scale 3-storey precast concrete building: global response (2013)
Journal Article

In the framework of the SAFECAST Project, a full-scale three-storey precast building was subjected to a series of pseudodynamic (PsD) tests in the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment (ELSA). The mock-up was constructed in such a way that fo... Read More about Pseudodynamic tests on a full-scale 3-storey precast concrete building: global response.
