Gfi1aa and Gfi1b set the pace for primitive erythroblast differentiation from hemangioblasts in the zebrafish embryo (2018)
Journal Article
Moore, C., Richens, J. L., Hough, Y., Ucanok, D., Malla, S., Sang, F., …Gering, M. (2018). Gfi1aa and Gfi1b set the pace for primitive erythroblast differentiation from hemangioblasts in the zebrafish embryo. Blood Advances, 2(20), 2589-2606. https://doi.org/10.1182/bloodadvances.2018020156

The transcriptional repressors Gfi1(a) and Gfi1b are epigenetic regulators with unique and overlapping roles in hematopoiesis. In different contexts, Gfi1 and Gfi1b restrict or promote cell proliferation, prevent apoptosis, influence cell fate decisi...

Rationalising the role of Keratin 9 as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (2016)
Journal Article
Richens, J. L., Spencer, H. L., Butler, M., Cantlay, F., Vere, K., Bajaj, N., …O'Shea, P. (2016). Rationalising the role of Keratin 9 as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. Scientific Reports, 6(22962), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep22962

Keratin 9 was recently identified as an important component of a biomarker panel which demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy (87%) for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Understanding how a protein which is predominantly expressed in palmoplantar epidermis... Read More about Rationalising the role of Keratin 9 as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease.

Highly sensitive multipoint real-time kinetic detection of Surface Plasmon bioanalytes with custom CMOS cameras (2014)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Smith, R. J., Light, R. A., Richens, J. L., Zhang, J., O'Shea, P., …Somekh, M. G. (2014). Highly sensitive multipoint real-time kinetic detection of Surface Plasmon bioanalytes with custom CMOS cameras. Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 58, 157-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2014.02.042

Phase sensitive Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) techniques are a popular means of characterizing biomolecular interactions. However, limitations due to the narrow dynamic range and difficulty in adapting the method for multi-point sensing have restri...

Practical detection of a definitive biomarker panel for Alzheimer's disease: comparisons between matched plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (2014)
Journal Article
Richens, J. L., Vere, K., Light, R. A., Soria, D., Garibaldi, J., Smith, A. D., …O’Shea, P. (2014). Practical detection of a definitive biomarker panel for Alzheimer's disease: comparisons between matched plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. International Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Genetics, IJMEG, 5(2),

Previous mass spectrometry analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has allowed the identification of a panel of molecular markers that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The panel comprises Amyloid beta, Apolipoprotein E, Fibrinogen alpha ch...

The detection of ADAM8 protein on cells of the human immune system and the demonstration of its expression on peripheral blood B cells, dendritic cells and monocyte subsets (2007)
Journal Article
Richens, J., Fairclough, L., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Mahdavi, J., Shakib, F., & Sewell, H. F. (2007). The detection of ADAM8 protein on cells of the human immune system and the demonstration of its expression on peripheral blood B cells, dendritic cells and monocyte subsets. Immunobiology, 212(1), 29-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imbio.2006.06.012

A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) proteins have wide ranging functions, including proteolytic cleavage of cell surface molecules, cell fusion, cell adhesion and intracellular signalling. Recent evidence suggests the involvement of ADAM8 in all...
