Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase prion formation in neuronal cells
Journal Article
Bate, C., Tayebi, M., Diomede, L., Salmona, M., & Williams, A. Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase prion formation in neuronal cells. BMC Biology, 6, https://doi.org/10.1186/1741-7007-6-39

Background: The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, otherwise known as prion diseases, occur following the conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) to an alternatively folded, disease-associated isoform (PrPSc). Recent studies suggest t... Read More about Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase prion formation in neuronal cells.

The mannose cap of mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan does not dominate the Mycobacterium-host interaction
Journal Article

S., Willemsen, P. T. J., Lowary, T. L., van Kooyk, Y., Maaskant, J. J., Stoker, N. G., van der Ley, P., Puzo, G., …Bitter, W. The mannose cap of mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan does not dominate the Mycobacterium-host interaction. Cellular Microbiology, 10(4), 930-944. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2007.01097.x

Pathogenic mycobacteria have the ability to persist in phagocytic cells and to suppress the immune system. The glycolipid lipoarabinomannan (LAM), in particular its mannose cap, has been shown to inhibit phagolysosome fusion and to induce immunosuppr...

Genetic parameters derived from using a biological model of lactation on records of commercial dairy cows
Journal Article
Albarran-Portillo, B., & Pollott, G. E. Genetic parameters derived from using a biological model of lactation on records of commercial dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 91(9), 3639-3648. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2007-0929

The object of this study was to investigate the genetics of lactation curve parameters derived from a biological model of lactation and the relationships among them. This biological model fitted 2 logistic curves to mimic the initial increase in milk...
