Towards a comprehensive framework for movement and distortion correction of diffusion MR images: within volume movement (2017)
Journal Article
Andersson, J. L., Graham, M. S., Drobnjak, I., Zhang, H., Filippini, N., & Bastiani, M. (2017). Towards a comprehensive framework for movement and distortion correction of diffusion MR images: within volume movement. NeuroImage, 152, 450-466. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.02.085

Most motion correction methods work by aligning a set of volumes together, or to a volume that represents a reference location. These are based on an implicit assumption that the subject remains motionless during the several seconds it takes to acqui...

CK2 abrogates the inhibitory effects of PRH/HHEX on prostate cancer cell migration and invasion and acts through PRH to control cell proliferation (2017)
Journal Article
Siddiqui, Y. H., Kershaw, R. M., Humphreys, E. H., Marcolino de Assis Junior, E., Chaudhri, S., Jayaraman, P., & Gaston, K. (2017). CK2 abrogates the inhibitory effects of PRH/HHEX on prostate cancer cell migration and invasion and acts through PRH to control cell proliferation. Oncogenesis, 6, https://doi.org/10.1038/oncsis.2016.82

PRH/HHEX (Proline Rich Homeodomain protein/Haematopoietically-Expressed Homeobox protein) is a transcription factor that controls cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. Our previous work has shown that in haematopoietic cells Pr...
