Suberin plasticity to developmental and exogenous cues is regulated by a set of MYB transcription factors (2020)
Working Paper

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer that can be deposited at the periphery of cells, forming protective barriers against biotic and abiotic stress. In roots, suberin forms lamellae at the periphery of endodermal cells where it plays crucial roles in...

Self-activated photoblinking of nitrogen vacancy centers in nanodiamonds (sandSTORM): A method for rapid single molecule localization microscopy with unlimited observation time (2020)
Working Paper

Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) is one of the most commonly used super-resolution microscopy techniques. Popular implementations of STORM utilize aromatic fluorophores and consist of a number of intrinsic limitations such the fin...

Microrheology reveals microscale viscosity gradients in planktonic systems (2020)
Working Paper

Microbial activity in planktonic systems creates a dynamic and heterogeneous microscale seascape that harbours a diverse community of microorganisms and ecological interactions of global significance. In recent decades a great effort has been put int... Read More about Microrheology reveals microscale viscosity gradients in planktonic systems.

The spatial percept of tinnitus is associated with hearing asymmetry: subgroup comparisons (2020)
Working Paper

The spatial percept of tinnitus is hypothesized as an important variable for tinnitus subtyping. Hearing asymmetry often associates with tinnitus laterality, but not always. One of the methodological limitations for cross-study comparisons is how the... Read More about The spatial percept of tinnitus is associated with hearing asymmetry: subgroup comparisons.

Unpacking the Allee effect: determining individual-level mechanisms that drive global population dynamics (2020)
Working Paper

We present a solid theoretical foundation for interpreting the origin of Allee effects by providing the missing link in understanding how local individual-based mechanisms translate to global population dynamics. Allee effects were originally propose... Read More about Unpacking the Allee effect: determining individual-level mechanisms that drive global population dynamics.

Inhibition of neuroinflammatory nitric oxide signalling supresses protein glycation and recovers neuronal dysfunction in prion disease (2020)
Working Paper

Background: Several neurodegenerative diseases associated with protein misfolding (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease) exhibit oxidative and nitrergic stress following initiation of neuroinflammatory pathways. Associated nitric oxide (NO)-mediated post... Read More about Inhibition of neuroinflammatory nitric oxide signalling supresses protein glycation and recovers neuronal dysfunction in prion disease.

A randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of tailored web- and text-based smoking cessation support in primary care: iQuit in Practice II trial protocol (Preprint) (2020)
Working Paper

Background: The prevalence of smoking is in decline, however, it continues to be a major public health burden. In England, primary care is the health setting that provides smoking cessation support to the most smokers. However, this setting has one o...
