Ontogenetic scaling of pelvic limb muscles, tendons and locomotor economy in the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) (2019)
Journal Article
Channon, S. B., Young, I. S., Cordner, B., & Swann, N. (2019). Ontogenetic scaling of pelvic limb muscles, tendons and locomotor economy in the Ostrich (Struthio camelus). Journal of Experimental Biology, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.182741

In rapidly growing animals there are numerous selective pressures and developmental constraints underpinning the ontogenetic development of muscle-tendon morphology and mechanical properties. Muscle force generating capacity, tendon stiffness, elasti... Read More about Ontogenetic scaling of pelvic limb muscles, tendons and locomotor economy in the Ostrich (Struthio camelus).

Comparative genomic analysis of six Glossina genomes, vectors of African trypanosomes (2019)
Journal Article
Attardo, G. M., Abd-Alla, A. M. M., Acosta-Serrano, A., Allen, J. E., Bateta, R., Benoit, J. B., …Aksoy, S. (2019). Comparative genomic analysis of six Glossina genomes, vectors of African trypanosomes. Genome Biology, 20, 187. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-019-1768-2

Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse flies are distinguished from other Diptera by unique adaptations, including lactation and the birthing of live young (obligate vivip...

Testing the function of dromaeosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) 'sickle claws' through musculoskeletal modelling and optimization (2019)
Journal Article
Bishop, P. J. (2019). Testing the function of dromaeosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) 'sickle claws' through musculoskeletal modelling and optimization. PeerJ, e7577. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.7577

Dromaeosaurids were a clade of bird-like, carnivorous dinosaurs that are well known for their characteristic morphology of pedal digit II, which bore an enlarged, sickle-shaped claw and permitted an extreme range of flexion–extension. Proposed functi... Read More about Testing the function of dromaeosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) 'sickle claws' through musculoskeletal modelling and optimization.

Ground reaction forces of overground galloping in ridden Thoroughbred racehorses (2019)
Journal Article
Self Davies, Z. T., Spence, A. J., & Wilson, A. M. (2019). Ground reaction forces of overground galloping in ridden Thoroughbred racehorses. Journal of Experimental Biology, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.204107

The horse has evolved to gallop economically at high speed. Limb force increases with speed but direct measures of limb ground reaction forces (GRFs) at gallop are sparse. This study reports GRFs for multiple limbs, using force plates, across seven T... Read More about Ground reaction forces of overground galloping in ridden Thoroughbred racehorses.

Why Were More Than 200 Subjects Required to Demonstrate the Bioequivalence of a New Formulation of Levothyroxine with an Old One? (2019)
Journal Article
Concordet, D., Gandia, P., Montastruc, J., Bousquet-Mélou, A., Lees, P., Ferran, A. A., & Toutain, P. (2019). Why Were More Than 200 Subjects Required to Demonstrate the Bioequivalence of a New Formulation of Levothyroxine with an Old One?. Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 59, 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40262-019-00812-x

At the request of French Regulatory Authorities, a new formulation of Levothyrox® was licensed in France in 2017, with the objective of avoiding the stability deficiencies of an existing licensed formulation. Before launching the new formulation, an... Read More about Why Were More Than 200 Subjects Required to Demonstrate the Bioequivalence of a New Formulation of Levothyroxine with an Old One?.

Dchs1-Fat4 regulation of osteogenic differentiation in mouse (2019)
Journal Article
Crespo-Enriquez, I., Hodgson, T., Zakaria, S., Cadoni, E., Shah, M., Allen, S., …Francis-West, P. (2019). Dchs1-Fat4 regulation of osteogenic differentiation in mouse. Development, 146, https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.176776

In human, mutations of the protocadherins FAT4 and DCHS1 result in Van Maldergem syndrome, which is characterised, in part, by craniofacial abnormalities. Here, we analyse the role of Dchs1-Fat4 signalling during osteoblast differentiation in mouse.... Read More about Dchs1-Fat4 regulation of osteogenic differentiation in mouse.

Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by ATP-analogues (2019)
Journal Article
Patel, J. J., Bourne, L. E., Millán, J. L., Arnett, T. R., MacRae, V. E., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & Orriss, I. R. (2019). Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by ATP-analogues. Purinergic Signalling, 15(3), 315-326. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11302-019-09672-3

Arterial medial calcification (AMC) has been associated with phenotypic changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) that reportedly makes them more osteoblast-like. Previous work has shown that ATP/UTP can inhibit AMC directly via P2 receptors an... Read More about Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell calcification by ATP-analogues.
