A functional approach to uncover the low-temperature adaptation strategies of the archaeon methanosarcina barkeri
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-05-03)Low-temperature anaerobic digestion (LTAD) technology is underpinned by a diverse microbial community. The methanogenic archaea represent a key functional group in these consortia, undertaking CO2 reduction as well as ... -
A novel follicle culture system markedly increases follicle volume, cell number and oestradiol secretion
(BioScientifica, 2004-06-01)This study reports a novel, simple method for culture of mouse follicles which results in follicles with cell numbers similar to in vivo fully grown follicles. Using this method, follicles (1180-240 mum in diameter) were ... -
A theoretical examination of environmental effects on the life cycle schedule and range limits of the invasive seaweed undaria pinnatifida
(Springer Nature, 2017-01-09)Invasive macroalgae form a substantial component of marine invaders at a global level. However, it is poorly understood how the complex interactions between local environmental conditions and life cycle dynamics contribute ... -
Adjustment of carbon fluxes to light conditions regulates the daily turnover of starch in plants: a computational model
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014-01-01)In the light, photosynthesis provides carbon for metabolism and growth. In the dark, plant growth depends on carbon reserves that were accumulated during previous light periods. Many plants accumulate part of their newly-fixed ... -
Age verification of boarfish (capros aper) in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-11-01)The boarfish (Capros aper) is a pelagic species of recent interest to the fishing industry, with landings increasing by >500% over the past 3 years. The objective of the study was to provide a method for age ... -
Airborne measurements of nucleation mode particles ii: boreal forest nucleation events
(Copernicus GmbH, 2009-02-06)Airborne measurements of nucleation mode aerosol concentrations during nucleation events over the boreal forest of southern Finland are reported. Three case studies are analyzed in an attempt to characterise the spatial ... -
Ambra1 links autophagy to cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by promoting c-myc dephosphorylation and degradation
(Springer Nature, 2014-12-01)Inhibition of a main regulator of cell metabolism, the protein kinase mTOR, induces autophagy and inhibits cell proliferation. However, the molecular pathways involved in the cross-talk between these two mTOR-dependent ... -
Analysis of gene expression in the bovine corpus luteum through generation and characterisation of 960 ests
(Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01) -
Anti-cancer activity of phenyl and pyrid-2-yl 1,3-substituted benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones and stable free radical precursors
(MDPI AG, 2018-03-03)Cell viability studies for benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones and 1,2,4-benzotriazinyl (Blatter-type) radical precursors are described with comparisons made with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO). All of the stable free ... -
At the frontiers of scientific advancement: the factors that influence scientists to become or choose to become publicly funded principal investigators
(Springer Nature, 2015-03-29)This paper aims to unearth the factors that influence scientists in becoming and choosing to become publicly funded principal investigators (PIs). PIs are the linchpins of knowledge transformation and bridging triple helix ... -
Atmospheric particle formation events at värriö measurement station in finnish lapland 1998-2002
(Copernicus GmbH, 2004-10-05)During the calendar years 1998 - 2002, 147 clear 8 nm diameter particle formation events have been identified at the SMEAR I station in Varrio, northern Finland. The events have been classified in detail according to the ... -
Biological study of the angiogenesis inhibitor n-(8-(3-ethynylphenoxy)octyl-1-deoxynojirimycin
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-06-01)The alpha-glucosidase inhibitors N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MDNJ) and castanospermine have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis. A hybrid of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) and an aryl-1,2,3-triazole, which inhibits both an ... -
Biomaterial constructs for delivery of multiple therapeutic genes: a spatiotemporal evaluation of efficacy using molecular beacons
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013-06-03)Gene therapy is emerging as a potential therapeutic approach for cardiovascular pathogenesis. An appropriate therapy may require multiple genes to enhance therapeutic outcome by modulating inflammatory response and ... -
Characterization of environmentally persistent escherichia coli isolates leached from an irish soil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-02-12)Soils are typically considered to be suboptimal environments for enteric organisms, but there is increasing evidence that Escherichia coli populations can become resident in soil under favorable conditions. Previous work ... -
Characterizing nanoscale topography of the aortic heart valve basement membrane for tissue engineering heart valve scaffold design
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2006-02-01)A fully effective prosthetic heart valve has not yet been developed. A successful tissue-engineered valve prosthetic must contain a scaffold that fully supports valve endothelial cell function. Recently, topographic features ... -
Collenchyma: a versatile mechanical tissue with dynamic cell walls
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-08-29)Collenchyma has remained in the shadow of commercially exploited mechanical tissues such as wood and fibres, and therefore has received little attention since it was first described. However, collenchyma is highly dynamic, ... -
