Magnesium induces preconditioning of the neonatal brain via profound mitochondrial protection (2019)
Journal Article
Koring, G., Leverin, A. L., Nair, S., Schwendimann, L., Ek, J., Carlsson, Y., …Hagberg, H. (2019). Magnesium induces preconditioning of the neonatal brain via profound mitochondrial protection. https://doi.org/10.1177/0271678X17746132

Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) given to women in preterm labor reduces cerebral palsy in their offspring but the mechanism behind this protection is unclear, limiting its effective, safe clinical implementation. Previous studies suggest that MgSO4 is not... Read More about Magnesium induces preconditioning of the neonatal brain via profound mitochondrial protection.

Differential susceptibility to tetracycline, oxytetracycline and doxycycline of the calf pathogens Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida in three growth media (2019)
Journal Article
Mead, A., Lees, P., Mitchell, J., Rycroft, A. N., Standing, J. F., Toutain, P. L., & Pelligand, L. (2019). Differential susceptibility to tetracycline, oxytetracycline and doxycycline of the calf pathogens Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida in three growth media. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 42(1), 52-59. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvp.12719

For clinical isolates of bovine Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida, this study reports minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) differences for tetracycline, oxytetracycline and doxycycline between cation‐adjusted Mueller‐Hinton broth (CA...

Pituitary pathology and gene expression in acromegalic cats (2019)
Journal Article
Scudder, C. J., Mirczuk, S. M., Richardson, K. M., Crossley, V. J., Regan, J. T. C., Gostelow, R., …Niessen, S. J. M. (2019). Pituitary pathology and gene expression in acromegalic cats. Journal of the Endocrine Society, 3(1), 181-200. https://doi.org/10.1210/js.2018-00226

The prevalence of growth hormone secreting pituitary tumours in domestic cats (Felis catus) is ten times greater than in humans. The predominant inhibitory receptors of growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumours are somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and...

The locomotor kinematics and ground reaction forces of walking giraffes. (2019)
Journal Article
Basu, C. K., Wilson, A. M., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2019). The locomotor kinematics and ground reaction forces of walking giraffes. Journal of Experimental Biology, 222(22), https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.159277

Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis Linnaeus 1758) possess specialised anatomy. Their disproportionately elongate limbs and neck confer recognised feeding advantages, but little is known about how their morphology affects locomotor function. In this stu...

An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion (2018)
Journal Article
Kashiri, N., Abate, A., Abram, S. J., Albu-Schaffer, A., Clary, P. J., Daley, M. A., …Tsagarakis, N. (2018). An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 5(129), https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2018.00129

Despite enhancements in the development of robotic systems, the energy economy of today's robots lags far behind that of biological systems. This is in particular critical for untethered legged robot locomotion. To elucidate the current stage of ener... Read More about An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion.

Decreased nematode clearance & anti-phosphorylcholine specific IgM responses in mannose-binding lectin deficient mice (2018)
Journal Article
Ahmed, R., Cadman, E. T., Snapper, C. M., & Lawrence, R. A. (2018). Decreased nematode clearance & anti-phosphorylcholine specific IgM responses in mannose-binding lectin deficient mice. https://doi.org/10.1111/imcb.12219

Brugia malayi is a nematode that causes human lymphatic filariasis. Previously, we showed that mannose binding lectin (MBL) ‐A is necessary for clearance of B. malayi microfilariae in mice and presence of MBL‐A is linked with maximal levels of parasi...

Patterns of microchromosome organization remain highly conserved throughout avian evolution (2018)
Journal Article
O'Connor, R. E., Kiazim, L., Skinner, B., Fonseka, G., Joseph, S., Jennings, R., & Larkin, D. M. (2018). Patterns of microchromosome organization remain highly conserved throughout avian evolution. Chromosoma, 128(1), 21-29. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00412-018-0685-6

The structure and organization of a species genome at a karyotypic level, and in interphase nuclei, have broad functional significance. Although regular sized chromosomes are studied extensively in this regard, microchromosomes, which are present in...
