A novel hybrid yeast-human network analysis reveals an essential role for FNBP1L in antibacterial autophagy (2009)
Journal Article

Autophagy is a conserved cellular process required for the removal of defective organelles, protein aggregates, and intracellular pathogens. We used a network analysis strategy to identify novel human autophagy components based upon the yeast interac...

Reconfiguring or reproducing intra-professional boundaries? Specialist expertise, generalist knowledge and the ‘modernization’ of the medical workforce (2009)
Journal Article

Efforts to ‘modernize’ the clinical workforce of the English National Health Service have sought to reconfigure the responsibilities of professional groups in pursuit of more effective, joined-up service provision. Such efforts have met resistance f... Read More about Reconfiguring or reproducing intra-professional boundaries? Specialist expertise, generalist knowledge and the ‘modernization’ of the medical workforce.

Stem cells for enhancing recovery after stroke: a review (2009)
Journal Article

The potential application for stem cell therapy is vast, and development for use in ischaemic stroke is still in its infancy. Access to stem cells for research is contentious; however, stem cells are obtainable from both animal and human. Despite a...

Efficacy, safety, and predictive factors for a positive yield of EUS-guided Trucut biopsy: a large tertiary referral center experience (2009)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided trucut biopsy (EUS-TCB) technique has the advantage of obtaining tissue for histological examination rather than for cytology alone. However, the diagnostic yield may depend on factors related to both techni...

Biology of insulin-like factor 3 in human reproduction (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) is a neohormone that has evolved to address specific mammalian traits, in particular, the first phase of testicular descent towards the scrotum during mid-gestation. Methods: A thorough literature search was... Read More about Biology of insulin-like factor 3 in human reproduction.

Delays in activity-based neural networks (2009)
Journal Article

In this paper, we study the effect of two distinct discrete delays on the dynamics of a Wilson-Cowan neural network. This activity-based model describes the dynamics of synaptically interacting excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations. We discu... Read More about Delays in activity-based neural networks.

Development of intron-flanking EST markers for the Lolium/Festuca complex using rice genomic information (2009)
Journal Article

DNA markers able to distinguish species or genera with high specificity are valuable in the identification of introgressed regions in interspecific or intergeneric hybrids. Intergeneric hybridization between the genera of Lolium and Festuca, leading...

Fat oxidation during exercise and satiety during recovery are increased following a low-glycemic index breakfast in sedentary women (2009)
Journal Article

Consuming low-glycemic index (LGI) carbohydrates (CHO) before endurance exercise results in increased fat oxidation during exercise in trained men and women. It is not known if this phenomenon occurs during low intensity exercise and in untrained par...

CK2 phosphorylation of the PRH/Hex homeodomain functions as a reversible switch for DNA binding (2009)
Journal Article

The proline-rich homeodomain protein (PRH/Hex) regulates transcription by binding to specific DNA sequences and regulates mRNA transport by binding to translation initiation factor eIF4E. Protein kinase CK2 plays multiple roles in the regulation of g... Read More about CK2 phosphorylation of the PRH/Hex homeodomain functions as a reversible switch for DNA binding.

Human factors at sea: common patterns of error in groundings and collisions Human factors at sea: common patterns of error in groundings and collisions (2009)
Journal Article

This research aimed to identify and map the common patterns of human and organizational causes underlying two types of marine accident: groundings and collisions. Generalising patterns of causality from relatively unique and individual accident event...

The 'war for talent': The gatekeeper role of executive search firms in elite labour markets (2009)
Journal Article

Recent years have been characterised by the increasing encroachment into policy and academic debates of discourses describing knowledge and weightless economies and an associated 'war for talent'. In this paper we argue that these current discourses... Read More about The 'war for talent': The gatekeeper role of executive search firms in elite labour markets.

Store-operated cyclic AMP signalling mediated by STIM1 (2009)
Journal Article

Depletion of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) results in activation of plasma membrane Ca2+ entry channels. This 'store-operated' process requires translocation of a transmembrane ER Ca2+ sensor protein, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)...

A multiple timescale analysis of a mathematical model of the Wnt/?-catenin signalling pathway (2009)
Journal Article

The Wnt signalling pathway is involved in stem cell maintenance, differentiation and tissue development. Its disregulation has also been implicated in many cancers. β-catenin is a protein that regulates both transcription of many genes and cell-cell...

The role of histamine 3 receptors in the control of food intake in a seasonal model of obesity: The Siberian hamster (2009)
Journal Article

Siberian hamsters develop hypophagia and increase catabolism of fat reserves in response to short photoperiods resulting in a natural loss of body weight in winter. We previously found that histamine 3 receptor (H3R) mRNA in the posterior hypothalamu...
