A CFD-informed quasi-steady model of flapping-wing aerodynamics (2015)
Journal Article
Nakata, T., Liu, H., & Bomphrey, R. J. (2015). A CFD-informed quasi-steady model of flapping-wing aerodynamics. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 783, 323-343. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2015.537

Aerodynamic performance and agility during flapping flight are determined by the combination of wing shape and kinematics. The degree of morphological and kinematic optimization is unknown and depends upon a large parameter space. Aimed at providing...

The effect of aspect ratio on the leading-edge vortex over an insect-like flapping wing (2015)
Journal Article
Phillips, N., Knowles, K., & Bomphrey, R. J. (2015). The effect of aspect ratio on the leading-edge vortex over an insect-like flapping wing. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3190/10/5/056020

Insect wing shapes are diverse and a renowned source of inspiration for the new generation of autonomous flapping vehicles, yet the aerodynamic consequences of varying geometry is not well understood. One of the most defining and aerodynamically sign... Read More about The effect of aspect ratio on the leading-edge vortex over an insect-like flapping wing.

PKA Phosphorylation of NCLX Reverses Mitochondrial Calcium Overload and Depolarization, Promoting Survival of PINK1-Deficient Dopaminergic Neurons (2015)
Journal Article
Kostic, M., Ludtmann, M. H. R., Bading, H., Hershfinkel, M., Steer, E., Chu, C. T., …Sekler, I. (2015). PKA Phosphorylation of NCLX Reverses Mitochondrial Calcium Overload and Depolarization, Promoting Survival of PINK1-Deficient Dopaminergic Neurons. Cell Reports, 13(2), 376-386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2015.08.079

Mitochondrial Ca2+ overload is a critical, preceding event in neuronal damage encountered during neurodegenerative and ischemic insults. We found that loss of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) function, implicated in Parkinson disease, inhibits...

Biology of Reproduction, 93(4), https://doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod.115.128876

Infection with noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (ncpBVDV) is associated with uterine disease and infertility. This study investigated the influence of ncpBVDV on immune functions of the bovine endometrium by testing the response to bacterial...

The dysregulation of endometrial immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been implicated in uterine disease and infertility in the postpartum dairy cow, although the mechanisms are not clear. Here, we investigated whole-transcriptom... Read More about Global Transcriptomic Profiling of Bovine Endometrial Immune Response In Vitro. I. Effect of Lipopolysaccharide on Innate Immunity.

Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits (2015)
Journal Article
Curtin, N. A., Diack, R. A., West, T. G., Wilson, A. M., & Woledge, R. C. (2015). Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits. Journal of Experimental Biology, 218, 2856-2863. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.121897

Skinned fibres have advantages for comparing the muscle properties of different animal species because they can be prepared from a needle biopsy taken under field conditions. However, it is not clear how well the contractile properties of skinned fib... Read More about Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits.
