Degree of Cajal-Retzius cell mislocalisation correlates with the severity of structural brain defects in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy (2016)
Journal Article
Booler, H., Williams, J., Hopkinson, M., & Brown, S. C. (2016). Degree of Cajal-Retzius cell mislocalisation correlates with the severity of structural brain defects in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy. Brain Pathology, 26(4), 465-478. https://doi.org/10.1111/bpa.12306

The secondary dystroglycanopathies are characterized by the hypoglycosylation of alpha dystroglycan, and are associated with mutations in at least 18 genes that act on the glycosylation of this cell surface receptor rather than the Dag1 gene itself....

Neurodegeneration and Epilepsy in a Zebrafish Model of CLN3 Disease (Batten Disease) (2016)
Journal Article
Wager, K., Zdebik, A. A., Fu, S., Cooper, J. D., Harvey, R. J., & Russell, C. (2016). Neurodegeneration and Epilepsy in a Zebrafish Model of CLN3 Disease (Batten Disease). PLoS ONE, 11(6), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0157365

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a group of lysosomal storage disorders that comprise the most common, genetically heterogeneous, fatal neurodegenerative disorders of children. They are characterised by childhood onset, visual failure, epilepti... Read More about Neurodegeneration and Epilepsy in a Zebrafish Model of CLN3 Disease (Batten Disease).

Short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in mammary tumours with a potential to facilitate receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated cell signalling (2016)
Journal Article
Gill, R. M. S., Mehra, V., Milford, E., & Dhoot, G. K. (2016). Short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in mammary tumours with a potential to facilitate receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated cell signalling. Histochemistry and Cell Biology, 146, 431-144. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00418-016-1454-3

The relative roles of SULF1 and SULF2 enzymes in tumour growth are controversial, but short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in human mammary tumours despite their non-detectable levels in normal mammary tissue. Compared with the normal, the l... Read More about Short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in mammary tumours with a potential to facilitate receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated cell signalling.

Morphomechanical Innovation Drives Explosive Seed Dispersal (2016)
Journal Article
Hofhuis, H., Moulton, D., Lessinnes, T., Routier-Kierzkowska, A. L., Bomphrey, R. J., Mosca, G., …Hay, A. (2016). Morphomechanical Innovation Drives Explosive Seed Dispersal. Cell, 166, 222-233. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2016.05.002

How mechanical and biological processes are coordinated across cells, tissues, and organs to produce complex traits is a key question in biology. Cardamine hirsuta, a relative of Arabidopsis thaliana, uses an explosive mechanism to disperse its seeds... Read More about Morphomechanical Innovation Drives Explosive Seed Dispersal.

E11/Podoplanin Protein Stabilization Through Inhibition of the Proteasome Promotes Osteocyte Differentiation in Murine in Vitro Models (2016)
Journal Article
Staines, K. A., Prideaux, M., Allen, S. P., Buttle, D. J., Pitsillides, A. A., & Farquharson, C. (2016). E11/Podoplanin Protein Stabilization Through Inhibition of the Proteasome Promotes Osteocyte Differentiation in Murine in Vitro Models. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 231(6), 1392-1404. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.25282

The transmembrane glycoprotein E11 is considered critical in early osteoblast–osteocyte transitions (osteocytogenesis), however its function and regulatory mechanisms are still unknown. Using the late osteoblast MLO-A5 cell line we reveal increased E...
