Beneficial effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone mass and architecture are described to either simply add to, or to synergise with those of mechanical loading. We evaluate whether interaction with in vivo loading is reinforced by...

Human activities are increasingly impacting our oceans and the focus of attention tends to be on their environmental impacts, rather than consequences for animal welfare. Global shipping density has quadrupled since 1992. Unsurprisingly, increased le...

As a key regulator of bone homeostasis, sclerostin has garnered a lot of interest over the last two decades. Although sclerostin is primarily expressed by osteocytes and is well known for its role in bone formation and remodelling, it is also express...

Disturbed flow increases endothelial inflammation and permeability via a Frizzled-4-β-catenin-dependent pathway (2023)
Journal Article

Multidirectional or disturbed flow promotes endothelial dysfunction and is associated with early atherogenesis. Here we investigated the role of Wnt signalling in flow-mediated endothelial dysfunction. The expression of Frizzled-4 was higher in cultu...
