Scientific Reports, 12(1), Article 11553. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-15616-6

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has proven to be the gold-standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection in clinical settings. The most common approaches rely on nasopharyngeal specimens obtained from swabs, followed by RNA extraction, reverse transcription and q...

Journal Article
Nicholson, R., Menezes, A., Azevedo, A., Leckenby, A., Davies, S., Seedhouse, C., Gilkes, A., Knapper, S., Tonks, A., & Darley, R. L. (2022). Protein Kinase C Epsilon Overexpression Is Associated With Poor Patient Outcomes in AML and Promotes Daunorubicin Resistance Through p-Glycoprotein-Mediated Drug Efflux. Frontiers in Oncology, 12, Article 840046. https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2022.840046

The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases are pleiotropic signaling regulators and are implicated in hematopoietic signaling and development. Only one isoform however, PKCϵ, has oncogenic properties in solid cancers where it is as...

Methods and Protocols, 5(2), Article 25. https://doi.org/10.3390/mps5020025

Since mid-2020 there have been complexities and difficulties in the standardisation and administration of nasopharyngeal swabs. Coupled with the variable and/or poor accuracy of lateral flow devices, this has led to increased societal ‘testing fatigu...
