Optimisation of the differing conditions required for bone formation in vitro by primary osteoblasts from mice and rats
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Hajjawi, M. O. R., Huesa, C., MacRae, V. E., & Arnett, T. R. (in press). Optimisation of the differing conditions required for bone formation in vitro by primary osteoblasts from mice and rats. International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 34(5), 1201-1208. https://doi.org/10.3892/ijmm.2014.1926

The in vitro culture of calvarial osteoblasts from neonatal rodents remains an important method for studying the regulation of bone formation. The widespread use of transgenic mice has created a particular need for a reliable, simple method that allo...

MicroRNAs control the apoptotic threshold in primed Pluripotent stem cells through regulation of BIM
Journal Article
Pernaute, B., Spruce, T., Smith, K. M., Sanchez-Nieto, J. M., Manzanares, M., Cobb, B. S., & Rodriguez, T. A. (in press). MicroRNAs control the apoptotic threshold in primed Pluripotent stem cells through regulation of BIM. https://doi.org/10.1101/gad.245621.114

Mammalian primed pluripotent stem cells have been shown to be highly susceptible to cell death stimuli due to their low apoptotic threshold, but how this threshold is regulated remains largely unknown. Here we identify microRNA (miRNA)-mediated regul... Read More about MicroRNAs control the apoptotic threshold in primed Pluripotent stem cells through regulation of BIM.

Nesting behaviour influences species-specific gas exchange across avian eggshells
Journal Article
Portugal, S. J., Maurer, G., Thomas, G. H., Hauber, M. E., Grim, T., & Cassey, P. (in press). Nesting behaviour influences species-specific gas exchange across avian eggshells. Journal of Experimental Biology, 217(Pt 18), 3326-32. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.103291

Carefully controlled gas exchange across the eggshell is essential for the development of the avian embryo. Water vapour conductance (GH2O) across the shell, typically measured as mass loss during incubation, has been demonstrated to optimally ensure...

Strontium potently inhibits mineralisation in bone-forming primary rat osteoblast cultures and reduces numbers of osteoclasts in mouse marrow cultures
Journal Article
Wornham, D. P., Hajjawi, M. O. R., Orriss, I. R., & Arnett, T. R. (in press). Strontium potently inhibits mineralisation in bone-forming primary rat osteoblast cultures and reduces numbers of osteoclasts in mouse marrow cultures. Osteoporosis International, 25(10), 2477-2484. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00198-014-2791-5

The basic mechanisms by which strontium ranelate acts on bone are still unclear. We show that an important action of strontium salts is to block calcification in cultures of osteoblasts, the bone-forming cells. These results suggest that strontium tr...

Comparative Analysis of the Secretome from a Model Filarial Nematode (Litomosoides sigmodontis) Reveals Maximal Diversity in Gravid Female Parasites
Journal Article
Armstrong, S. D., Babayan, S. A., Lhermitte-Vallarino, N., Gray, N., Xia, D., Martin, C., …Makepeace, B. L. (in press). Comparative Analysis of the Secretome from a Model Filarial Nematode (Litomosoides sigmodontis) Reveals Maximal Diversity in Gravid Female Parasites. https://doi.org/10.1074/mcp.M114.038539

Filarial nematodes (superfamily Filarioidea) are responsible for an annual global health burden of ∼6.3 million disability-adjusted life-years, which represents the greatest single component of morbidity attributable to helminths affecting humans. No... Read More about Comparative Analysis of the Secretome from a Model Filarial Nematode (Litomosoides sigmodontis) Reveals Maximal Diversity in Gravid Female Parasites.
