Unravelling overlaps and torsion-facilitated coupling using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence (2018)
Journal Article

Two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence (2D-LIF) spectroscopy is employed to identify contributions to fluorescence excitation spectra that arise from both overlapping bands and coupling between zero-order states (ZOSs). Evidence is found for the... Read More about Unravelling overlaps and torsion-facilitated coupling using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence.

An electronic clinical decision support system for the assessment and management of suicidality in primary care (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Suicide is a global public health concern, but it is preventable. Increased contact with primary care before the suicide or attempted suicide raises opportunities for intervention and prevention. However, suicide assessment and management...

TAp73 regulates ATP7A: possible implications for ageing-related diseases (2018)
Journal Article

The p53 family member p73 controls a wide range of cellular function. Deletion of p73 in mice results in increased tumorigenesis, infertility, neurological defects and altered immune system. Despite the extensive effort directed to define the molecul... Read More about TAp73 regulates ATP7A: possible implications for ageing-related diseases.

Using GPUs to accelerate computational diffusion MRI: from microstructure estimation to tractography and connectomes (2018)
Journal Article

The great potential of computational diffusion MRI (dMRI) relies on indirect inference of tissue microstructure and brain connections, since modelling and tractography frameworks map diffusion measurements to neuroanatomical features. This mapping ho... Read More about Using GPUs to accelerate computational diffusion MRI: from microstructure estimation to tractography and connectomes.

DNA replication initiation in Bacillus subtilis: Structural and functional characterization of the essential DnaA-DnaD interaction (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Author(s). The homotetrameric DnaD protein is essential in low G+C content gram positive bacteria and is involved in replication initiation at oriC and re-start of collapsed replication forks. It interacts with the ubiquitously conserved b... Read More about DNA replication initiation in Bacillus subtilis: Structural and functional characterization of the essential DnaA-DnaD interaction.

Identification and prospective stability of electronic nose (eNose)-derived inflammatory phenotypes in patients with severe asthma. (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous condition, as shown by independent cluster analyses based on demographic, clinical, and inflammatory characteristics. A next step is to identify molecularly driven phenotypes using “omics” technologies. Mo...
