Journal Article
Johansson, D. X., Voisset, C., Tarr, A. W., Aung, M., Ball, J. K., Dubuisson, J., & Persson, M. A. (2007). Human combinatorial libraries yield rare antibodies that broadly neutralize hepatitis C virus. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104(41), 16269-16274. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0705522104

One way to dissect the antibody response to an invading microorganism is to clone the antibody repertoire from immune donors and subsequently characterize the specific antibodies. Recently, methodological advances have allowed investigations of neutr... Read More about Human combinatorial libraries yield rare antibodies that broadly neutralize hepatitis C virus.

Should data monitoring committees assess efficacy when considering safety in trails in acute stroke? (2007)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Gray, L. J., & Wahlgren, N. (2007). Should data monitoring committees assess efficacy when considering safety in trails in acute stroke?. International Journal of Clinical Practice, 61(10),

The primary role of a trials Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) is to ensure the safety of enrolled patients. In stroke trials, safety is monitored typically by comparing death and stroke specific events between treatment groups. DMCs may also have the...

Ontogeny and nutritional programming of the hepatic growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-prolactin axis in the sheep (2007)
Journal Article

The liver is an important metabolic and endocrine organ in the fetus but the extent to which its hormone receptor (R) sensitivity is developmentally regulated in early life is not fully established. We, therefore, examined developmental changes in mR... Read More about Ontogeny and nutritional programming of the hepatic growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-prolactin axis in the sheep.

In a visual search task, when half the distracters are presented earlier than the remainder (‘previewed’), observers find the target item more efficiently than when all the items are presented together—the preview benefit. We measured psychometric fu... Read More about Previewing distracters reduces their effective contrast.

Modelling and Animation of Brittle Fracture in Three Dimensions (2007)
Thesis
Kucukyilmaz, A. (2007). Modelling and Animation of Brittle Fracture in Three Dimensions. (Masters). Retrieved from https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/4040521
