Finite-element modelling of mechanobiological factors influencing sesamoid tissue morphology in the patellar tendon of an ostrich (2017)
Journal Article
Chadwick, K., Shefelbine, S. J., Pitsillides, A. A., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2017). Finite-element modelling of mechanobiological factors influencing sesamoid tissue morphology in the patellar tendon of an ostrich. Royal Society Open Science, 4(6), 170133. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170133

The appearance and shape of sesamoid bones within a tendon or ligament wrapping around a joint are understood to be influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors. Ostriches (Struthio camelus) possess two sesamoid patellae (kneecaps), one of which...

Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa (2017)
Journal Article
Abrahms, B., Seidel, D. P., Dougherty, E., Hazen, E. L., Bograd, S. J., Wilson, A. M., …Getz, W. M. (2017). Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa. Movement Ecology, 5(12), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40462-017-0104-2

ecause empirical studies of animal movement are most-often site- and species-specific, we lack understanding of the level of consistency in movement patterns across diverse taxa, as well as a framework for quantitatively classifying movement patterns...

Activation of the P2Y2 receptor regulates bone cell function by enhancing ATP release (2017)
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Gueneri, D., Hajjawai, M. O., Shaw, K., Patel, J. J., & Arnett, T. R. (2017). Activation of the P2Y2 receptor regulates bone cell function by enhancing ATP release. Journal of Endocrinology, 233, 341-356. https://doi.org/10.1530/JOE-17-0042

Bone cells constitutively release ATP into the extracellular environment where it acts locally via P2 receptors to regulate bone cell function. Whilst P2Y2 receptor stimulation regulates bone mineralisation, the functional effects of this receptor in...

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic integration and modelling of florfenicol for the pig pneumonia pathogens Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida (2017)
Journal Article
Dorey, L., Pelligand, L., Cheng, Z. R., & Lees, P. (2017). Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic integration and modelling of florfenicol for the pig pneumonia pathogens Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida. PLoS ONE, 12(5), e0177568. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0177568

Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) integration and modelling were used to predict dosage schedules for florfenicol for two pig pneumonia pathogens, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida. Pharmacokinetic data were pooled for t...

Mutations in valosin-containing protein (VCP) decrease ADP/ATP translocation across the mitochondrial membrane and impair energy metabolism in human neurons (2017)
Journal Article
Ludtmann, M. H. R., Arber, C., Bartolome, F., De Vicente, M., Preza, E., Carro, E., …Abramov, A. Y. (2017). Mutations in valosin-containing protein (VCP) decrease ADP/ATP translocation across the mitochondrial membrane and impair energy metabolism in human neurons. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 292(21), 8907-8917. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M116.762898

Mutations in the gene encoding valosin-containing protein (VCP) lead to multisystem proteinopathies including frontotemporal dementia. We have previously shown that patient-derived VCP mutant fibroblasts exhibit lower mitochondrial membrane potential...

Inverse dynamic modelling of jumping in the red-legged running frog Kassina maculata (2017)
Journal Article
Porro, L. B., Collings, A. J., Eberhard, E. A., Chadwick, K. P., & Richards, C. T. (2017). Inverse dynamic modelling of jumping in the red-legged running frog Kassina maculata. Journal of Experimental Biology, 220, 1882-1893. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.155416

Although the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata, is secondarily a walker/runner, it retains the capacity for multiple locomotor modes, including jumping at a wide range of angles (nearly 70 deg). Using simultaneous hind limb kinematics and sin... Read More about Inverse dynamic modelling of jumping in the red-legged running frog Kassina maculata.
