Short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in mammary tumours with a potential to facilitate receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated cell signalling (2016)
Journal Article
Gill, R. M. S., Mehra, V., Milford, E., & Dhoot, G. K. (2016). Short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in mammary tumours with a potential to facilitate receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated cell signalling. Histochemistry and Cell Biology, 146, 431-144. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00418-016-1454-3

The relative roles of SULF1 and SULF2 enzymes in tumour growth are controversial, but short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in human mammary tumours despite their non-detectable levels in normal mammary tissue. Compared with the normal, the l... Read More about Short SULF1/SULF2 splice variants predominate in mammary tumours with a potential to facilitate receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated cell signalling.

Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control (2016)
Journal Article
Gilbert, W. H., & Rushton, J. (2016). Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control. Journal of Agricultural Economics, https://doi.org/10.1111/1477-9552.12168

The economic incentives facing people making decisions about infectious disease control have been given due theoretical consideration in the literature, based on principles of economic rationality. Such deductive models provide important tools for ge... Read More about Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control.

Evidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteraemia in intradermal skin test positive cattle detected using phage-RPA (2016)
Journal Article
Swift, B. M. C., Convery, T. W., & Rees, C. E. (2016). Evidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteraemia in intradermal skin test positive cattle detected using phage-RPA. Virulence, 7(7), 779-88. https://doi.org/10.1080/21505594.2016.1191729

Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis that affects cattle and can cause tuberculosis in a range of wildlife animals. A bacteriophage-based method combined with PCR (phage-PCR) has been recently used to det...

J., Mosca, G., Reinhardt, R., Sarchet, P., Gan, X., Tsiantis, M., Ventikos, Y., Walker, S., Goriely, A., Smith, R., & Hay, A. (2016). Morphomechanical Innovation Drives Explosive Seed Dispersal. Cell, 166, 222-233. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2016.05.002

How mechanical and biological processes are coordinated across cells, tissues, and organs to produce complex traits is a key question in biology. Cardamine hirsuta, a relative of Arabidopsis thaliana, uses an explosive mechanism to disperse its seeds... Read More about Morphomechanical Innovation Drives Explosive Seed Dispersal.

E11/Podoplanin Protein Stabilization Through Inhibition of the Proteasome Promotes Osteocyte Differentiation in Murine in Vitro Models (2016)
Journal Article
Staines, K. A., Prideaux, M., Allen, S. P., Buttle, D. J., Pitsillides, A. A., & Farquharson, C. (2016). E11/Podoplanin Protein Stabilization Through Inhibition of the Proteasome Promotes Osteocyte Differentiation in Murine in Vitro Models. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 231(6), 1392-1404. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.25282

The transmembrane glycoprotein E11 is considered critical in early osteoblast–osteocyte transitions (osteocytogenesis), however its function and regulatory mechanisms are still unknown. Using the late osteoblast MLO-A5 cell line we reveal increased E...

Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, J. M., Duckworth, C. A., Vowell, K., Burkitt, M. D., & Pritchard, D. M. (2016). Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpmo.2

The murine intestinal tract represents a difficult organ system to study due to its long convoluted tubular structure, narrow diameter, and delicate mucosa which undergoes rapid changes after sampling prior to fixation. These features do not make for... Read More about Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse.

BVDV alters uterine prostaglandin production during pregnancy recognition in cows (2016)
Journal Article
Cheng, Z. R., Abudureyimu, A., Oguejiofor, C. F., Ellis, R., Barry, A. T., Chen, X., Anstaett, O. L., Brownlie, J., & Wathes, D. C. (2016). BVDV alters uterine prostaglandin production during pregnancy recognition in cows. Reproduction, 151(6), 605-614. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-15-0583

Embryonic mortality in cows is at least in part caused by failure of pregnancy recognition (PR). Evidence has shown that bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection can disrupt pregnancy. Prostaglandins (PG) play important roles in many reproductiv... Read More about BVDV alters uterine prostaglandin production during pregnancy recognition in cows.
