Varying magnesium concentration elicits changes in inflammatory response in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) (2018)
Journal Article
Almousa, L. A., Salter, A. M., & Langley-Evans, S. C. (2018). Varying magnesium concentration elicits changes in inflammatory response in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Magnesium Research, 31(3), 99-109. https://doi.org/10.1684/mrh.2018.0439

The aims of this study were to determine whether low concentrations of magnesium in vitro exacerbated the human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) response to inflammatory challenge, and whether expression of the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain...

The discovery of hydrogen bonds in DNA and a re-evaluation of the 1948 Creeth two-chain model for its structure (2018)
Journal Article
Harding, S. E., Channell, G., & Phillips-Jones, M. K. (2018). The discovery of hydrogen bonds in DNA and a re-evaluation of the 1948 Creeth two-chain model for its structure. Biochemical Society Transactions, 46(5), 1171-1182. https://doi.org/10.1042/BST20180158

We recall the experimental approaches involved in the discovery of hydrogen bonds in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) made 70 years ago by a team of scientists at University College Nottingham led by J.M. Gulland, and in relation to previous studies. This... Read More about The discovery of hydrogen bonds in DNA and a re-evaluation of the 1948 Creeth two-chain model for its structure.

Public health strategies to reduce sugar intake in the UK: An exploration of public perceptions using digital spaces (2018)
Journal Article
Swift, J. A., Strathearn, L., Morris, A., Chi, Y., Townsend, T., & Pearce, J. (2018). Public health strategies to reduce sugar intake in the UK: An exploration of public perceptions using digital spaces. Nutrition Bulletin, 43(3), 238-247. https://doi.org/10.1111/nbu.12346

Background: To explore UK public perceptions of children’s sugar consumption, Public Health England’s Change4Life Sugar Smart App and the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, using solicited and unsolicited digital data. Methods: Data from three digital space... Read More about Public health strategies to reduce sugar intake in the UK: An exploration of public perceptions using digital spaces.

A proposed biomass char classification system (2018)
Journal Article
Lester, E., Avila, C., Pang, C. H., Williams, O., Perkins, J., Gaddipatti⁠, S., …Wu, T. (2018). A proposed biomass char classification system. Fuel, 232, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2018.05.153

A new classification system is proposed for the morphological characterisation of char structures from biomass. These char structures are unlike the coal chars that have an established nomenclature via the International Committee of Coal and Organic...

Garlic and gaseous mediators (2018)
Journal Article
Rose, P., Moore, P. K., & Zhu, Y. (in press). Garlic and gaseous mediators. Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tips.2018.03.009

Garlic (Allium sativum) and allied plant species are rich sources of sulfur compounds. Major roles for garlic and its sulfur constituents include the regulation of vascular homeostasis and the control of metabolic systems linked to nutrient metabolis...

Maternal obesity-induced decreases in plasma, hepatic and uterine polyunsaturated fatty acids during labour is reversed through improved nutrition at conception (2018)
Journal Article
Muir, R. D., Liu, G., Khan, R., Shmygol, A., Quenby, S., Gibson, R. A., …Elmes, M. (2018). Maternal obesity-induced decreases in plasma, hepatic and uterine polyunsaturated fatty acids during labour is reversed through improved nutrition at conception. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 3389. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21809-9

Maternal obesity is associated with prolonged and dysfunctional labour, potentially through decreased synthesis of prostaglandins that stimulate myometrial contractions. We assessed the impact of maternal obesity on concentrations of precursor fatty...
