Cancer chemotherapy in early life significantly alters the maturation of pain processing (2017)
Journal Article
Hathway, G. J., Murphy, E., Lloyd, J., Greenspon, C. M., & Hulse, R. P. (2017). Cancer chemotherapy in early life significantly alters the maturation of pain processing. Neuroscience, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2017.11.032

Advances in paediatric cancer treatment have led to a ten year survival rate greater than 75%. Platinum-based chemotherapies (e.g.cisplatin) induce peripheral sensory neuropathy in adult and paedriatric cancer patients. The period from birth through...

Breast cancer induced nociceptor aberrant growth and collateral sensory axonal branching (2017)
Journal Article
Austin, M., Elliott, L., Nicolaou, N., Grabowska, A. M., & Hulse, R. P. (2017). Breast cancer induced nociceptor aberrant growth and collateral sensory axonal branching. Oncotarget, 8(44), https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.20609

The tumour and neuron interaction has a significant impact upon disease progression and the patients quality of life. In breast cancer patients, it is known that there is an interaction between the tumour microenvironment and the sensory neurons to i...

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165b ameliorates outer-retinal barrier and vascular dysfunction in the diabetic retina (2017)
Journal Article
Ved, N., Hulse, R. P., Bestall, S. M., Donaldson, L. F., Bainbridge, J. W., & Bates, D. O. (2017). Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165b ameliorates outer-retinal barrier and vascular dysfunction in the diabetic retina. Clinical Science, 131(12), 1225-1243. https://doi.org/10.1042/CS20170102

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. Characteristic features of DR are retinal neurodegeneration, pathological angiogenesis and breakdown of both the inner and outer retinal barriers of the retin...

NMN deamidase delays Wallerian degeneration and rescues axonal defects caused by NMNAT2 deficiency in vivo (2017)
Journal Article
Di Stefano, M., Loreto, A., Orsomando, G., Mori, V., Zamporlini, F., Hulse, R. P., …Conforti, L. (2017). NMN deamidase delays Wallerian degeneration and rescues axonal defects caused by NMNAT2 deficiency in vivo. Current Biology, 27(6), 784-794. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2017.01.070

Axons require the axonal NAD-synthesizing enzyme NMNAT2 to survive. Injury or genetically-induced depletion of NMNAT2 triggers axonal degeneration or defective axon growth. We have previously proposed that axonal NMNAT2 primarily promotes axon surviv...
