An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion (2018)
Journal Article
Kashiri, N., Abate, A., Abram, S. J., Albu-Schaffer, A., Clary, P. J., Daley, M. A., …Tsagarakis, N. (2018). An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 5(129), https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2018.00129

Despite enhancements in the development of robotic systems, the energy economy of today's robots lags far behind that of biological systems. This is in particular critical for untethered legged robot locomotion. To elucidate the current stage of ener... Read More about An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion.

Decreased nematode clearance & anti-phosphorylcholine specific IgM responses in mannose-binding lectin deficient mice (2018)
Journal Article
Ahmed, R., Cadman, E. T., Snapper, C. M., & Lawrence, R. A. (2018). Decreased nematode clearance & anti-phosphorylcholine specific IgM responses in mannose-binding lectin deficient mice. https://doi.org/10.1111/imcb.12219

Brugia malayi is a nematode that causes human lymphatic filariasis. Previously, we showed that mannose binding lectin (MBL) ‐A is necessary for clearance of B. malayi microfilariae in mice and presence of MBL‐A is linked with maximal levels of parasi...

Patterns of microchromosome organization remain highly conserved throughout avian evolution (2018)
Journal Article
O'Connor, R. E., Kiazim, L., Skinner, B., Fonseka, G., Joseph, S., Jennings, R., & Larkin, D. M. (2018). Patterns of microchromosome organization remain highly conserved throughout avian evolution. Chromosoma, 128(1), 21-29. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00412-018-0685-6

The structure and organization of a species genome at a karyotypic level, and in interphase nuclei, have broad functional significance. Although regular sized chromosomes are studied extensively in this regard, microchromosomes, which are present in...

Meridianin C inhibits the growth of YD-10B human tongue cancer cells through macropinocytosis and the down-regulation of Dickkopf-related protein-3 (2018)
Journal Article
Park, N. S., Park, Y. K., Ramalingam, M., Yadav, A. K., Cho, H. R., Hong, V. S., …Jang, B. C. (2018). Meridianin C inhibits the growth of YD-10B human tongue cancer cells through macropinocytosis and the down-regulation of Dickkopf-related protein-3. Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 22(12), 5833-5846. https://doi.org/10.1111/jcmm.13854

Meridianin C is a marine natural product known for its anti‐cancer activity. At present, the anti‐tumour effects of meridianin C on oral squamous cell carcinoma are unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of meridianin C on the proliferation of fou...

Genomes of trombidid mites reveal novel predicted allergens and laterally-transferred genes associated with secondary metabolism (2018)
Journal Article
Dong, X., Chaisiri, K., Xia, D., Armstrong, S. D., Fang, Y., Donnelly, M. J., …Makepeace, B. L. (2018). Genomes of trombidid mites reveal novel predicted allergens and laterally-transferred genes associated with secondary metabolism. GigaScience, 7(12), https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giy127

Trombidid mites have a unique lifecycle in which only the larval stage is ectoparasitic. In the superfamily Trombiculoidea (“chiggers”), the larvae feed preferentially on vertebrates, including humans. Species in the genus Leptotrombidium are vectors...

Anatomy Teaching, a “Model” Answer? Evaluating “Geoff”, a Painted Anatomical Horse, as a Tool for Enhancing Topographical Anatomy Learning (2018)
Journal Article
Bietzk, E., Weller, R., Simons, V., & Channon, S. B. (2018). Anatomy Teaching, a “Model” Answer? Evaluating “Geoff”, a Painted Anatomical Horse, as a Tool for Enhancing Topographical Anatomy Learning. Anatomical Sciences Education, https://doi.org/10.1002/ase.1823

Development of new methods for anatomy teaching is increasingly important as we look to modernize and supplement traditional teaching methods. In this study, a life‐sized equine model, “Geoff” was painted with surface and deep anatomical structures w... Read More about Anatomy Teaching, a “Model” Answer?

Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part I—an examination of cancellous bone architecture in the hindlimb bones of theropods (2018)
Journal Article
Bishop, P. J., Hocknull, S. A., Clemente, C. J., Hutchinson, J. R., Farke, A. A., Beck, B. R., …Lloyd, D. G. (2018). Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part I—an examination of cancellous bone architecture in the hindlimb bones of theropods. PeerJ, 6, e5778. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.5778

This paper is the first of a three-part series that investigates the architecture of cancellous (‘spongy’) bone in the main hindlimb bones of theropod dinosaurs, and uses cancellous bone architectural patterns to infer locomotor biomechanics in extin...
