Pereira, A. F., Javaheri, B., Pitsillides, A. A., & Shefelbine, S. J. (2015). Predicting cortical bone adaptation to axial loading in the mouse tibia. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2015.0590

The development of predictive mathematical models can contribute to a deeper understanding of the specific stages of bone mechanobiology and the process by which bone adapts to mechanical forces. The objective of this work was to predict, with spatia... Read More about Predicting cortical bone adaptation to axial loading in the mouse tibia.

BONE, 81, 459-67. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2015.08.006

Some anti-diabetic therapies can have adverse effects on bone health and increase fracture risk. In this study, we tested the skeletal effects of chronic administration of two Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), increasingly used for...

Acidosis Is a Key Regulator of Osteoblast Ecto-Nucleotidase Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) Expression and Activity (2015)
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Key, M. L., Hajjawi, M. O. R., Millan, J. L., & Arnett, T. R. (2015). Acidosis Is a Key Regulator of Osteoblast Ecto-Nucleotidase Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) Expression and Activity. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 230(12), 3049-3056. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.25041

Previous work has shown that acidosis prevents bone nodule formation by osteoblasts in vitro by inhibiting mineralisation of the collagenous matrix. The ratio of phosphate (Pi) to pyrophosphate (PPi) in the bone microenvironment is a fundamental regu...

Second tectofugal pathway in a songbird (Taeniopygia guttata) revisited: Tectal and lateral pontine projections to the posterior thalamus, thence to the intermediate nidopallium (2015)
Journal Article
Wild, J. M., & Gaede, A. H. (2015). Second tectofugal pathway in a songbird (Taeniopygia guttata) revisited: Tectal and lateral pontine projections to the posterior thalamus, thence to the intermediate nidopallium. Journal of Comparative Neurology, 524(5), 963-985

Birds are almost always said to have two visual pathways from the retina to the telencephalon: thalamofugal terminating in the Wulst, and tectofugal terminating in the entopallium. Often ignored is a second tectofugal pathway that terminates in the n...

Phospho1 deficiency transiently modifies bone architecture yet produces consistent modification in osteocyte differentiation and vascular porosity with ageing (2015)
Journal Article
Javaheri, B., Carriero, A., Staines, K. A., Chang, Y. M., Houston, D. A., Oldknow, K. J., …Pitsillides, A. A. (2015). Phospho1 deficiency transiently modifies bone architecture yet produces consistent modification in osteocyte differentiation and vascular porosity with ageing. BONE, 81, 277-291. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2015.07.035

PHOSPHO1 is one of principal proteins involved in initiating bone matrix mineralisation. Recent studies have found that Phospho1 KO mice (Phospho1-R74X) display multiple skeletal abnormalities with spontaneous fractures, bowed long bones, osteomalaci...

Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes (2015)
Journal Article
Cheng, Z. R., Abayasekara, D. R. E., Elmes, M., Kirkup, S. E., & Wathes, D. C. (2015). Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes. Placenta, 36(9), 1011-1017. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.07.128

Elevated circulating non-esterified fatty acids including oleic acid (OA) are associated with many pregnancy related complications. Prostaglandins (PGs) play crucial roles during parturition. We investigated the effect of OA supplementation on PG pro...

Aggregated a-synuclein and complex I deficiency: exploration of their relationship in differentiated neurons (2015)

α-Synuclein becomes misfolded and aggregated upon damage by various factors, for example, by reactive oxygen species. These aggregated forms have been proposed to have differential toxicities and their interaction with mitochondria may cause dysfunct...

Eicosanoids are important vascular regulators, but the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isoforms supporting their production within the cardiovascular system are not fully understood. To address this, we have studied platelets, endothelial cells, and leukocyt...
