Journal Article
Morris, R. H., Counsell, S. J., McGonnell, I. M., & Thornton, C. (in press). Exposure to urban particulate matter (UPM) impairs mitochondrial dynamics in BV2 cells, triggering a mitochondrial biogenesis response. Journal of Physiology, https://doi.org/10.1113/jp285978

World Health Organisation data suggest that up to 99% of the global population are exposed to air pollutants above recommended levels. Impacts to health range from increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease to chronic respiratory conditions,...

Diabetes drugs activate neuroprotective pathways in models of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (2024)
Journal Article
Poupon-Bejuit, L., Geard, A., Millicheap, N., Rocha-Ferreira, E., Hagberg, H., Thornton, C., & Rahim, A. A. (2024). Diabetes drugs activate neuroprotective pathways in models of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. EMBO Molecular Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1038/s44321-024-00079-1

Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) arises from diminished blood flow and oxygen to the neonatal brain during labor, leading to infant mortality or severe brain damage, with a global incidence of 1.5 per 1000 live births. Glucagon-like Peptide 1 R... Read More about Diabetes drugs activate neuroprotective pathways in models of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Leflunomide Treatment Does Not Protect Neural Cells Following Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation (OGD) In Vitro (2024)
Journal Article
Curel, C. J. M., Nobeli, I., & Thornton, C. (2024). Leflunomide Treatment Does Not Protect Neural Cells Following Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation (OGD) In Vitro. Cells, 13(7), 631. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells13070631

Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) affects 2-3 per 1000 live births in developed countries and up to 26 per 1000 live births in developing countries. It is estimated that of the 750,000 infants experiencing a hypoxic-ischemic event during birth per year,...

Sex-Specific Behavioural Deficits in Adulthood following Acute Activation of the GABA_A Receptor in the Neonatal Mouse (2024)
Journal Article
Goikolea-Vives, A., Fernandes, C., Thomas, M. S., Thornton, C., & Stolp, H. B. (in press). Sex-Specific Behavioural Deficits in Adulthood following Acute Activation of the GABAA Receptor in the Neonatal Mouse. Developmental Neuroscience, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1159/000536641

Introduction: Sex differences exist in the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Part of the aetiology of NDDs has been proposed to be alterations in the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, leading to the questio...
