Recombinant lactobacilli expressing linoleic acid isomerase can modulate the fatty acid composition of host adipose tissue in mice
(Microbiology Society, 2010-12-22)We have previously demonstrated that oral administration of a metabolically active Bifidobacterium breve strain, with ability to form cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), resulted in modulation of the fatty acid ... -
Recombination-mediated remodelling of host–pathogen interactions during staphylococcus aureus niche adaptation
(Microbiology Society, 2015-10-13)Large-scale recombination events have led to the emergence of epidemic clones of several major bacterial pathogens. However, the functional impact of the recombination on clonal success is not understood. Here, we identified ... -
Reconciling probability theory and coherentism
(Springer Nature, 2013-06-27)Recent results in the literature appear to show that it is impossible for two independent testimonies to jointly raise the probability of a proposition if neither testimony individually has any impact on that probability. ... -
Reconsultation and antimicrobial treatment of urinary tract infection in male and female patients in general practice
(MDPI AG, 2016-09-15)Current antimicrobial prescribing guidelines indicate that male and female patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) should be treated with same antimicrobials but for different durations. The aim of this study was to ... -

Recreational boating site choice and the impact of water quality
(Elsevier BV, 2017-10-01)This paper examines whether water quality has an effect on recreational boating activity. The analysis is based on survey data collected by face-to-face interviews with recreational visitors to 10 waterway sites across ... -

Recurrent deletions of ulk4 in schizophrenia: a gene crucial for neuritogenesis and neuronal motility
(The Company of Biologists, 2013-11-27)Although many pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) are associated with neuropsychiatric diseases, few of them have been functionally characterised. Here we report multiple schizophrenia cases with CNV abnormalities ... -
Red algal extracts from plocamium lyngbyanum and ceramium secundatum stimulate osteogenic activities in vitro and bone growth in zebrafish larvae
(Springer Nature, 2018-05-16)Through the current trend for bioprospecting, marine organisms-particularly algae-are becoming increasingly known for their osteogenic potential. Such organisms may provide novel treatment options for osteoporosis and other ... -
Red squirrels in the british isles are infected with leprosy bacilli
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2016-11-10)Leprosy, caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae or the recently discovered Mycobacterium lepromatosis, was once endemic in humans in the British Isles. Red squirrels in Great Britain (Sciurus vulgaris) have increasingly ... -
Redeploying β-lactam antibiotics as a novel antivirulence strategy for the treatment of methicillin-resistantstaphylococcus aureusinfections
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-11-14)Innovative approaches to the use of existing antibiotics is an important strategy in efforts to address the escalating antimicrobial resistance crisis. We report a new approach to the treatment of methicillin-resistant ... -
Redox homeostasis and age-related deficits in neuromuscular integrity and function
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-07-26)Skeletal muscle is a major site of metabolic activity and is the most abundant tissue in the human body. Age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and weakness, characterized by progressive loss of lean muscle mass and ... -
Redox responses are preserved across muscle fibres with differential susceptibility to aging
(Elsevier BV, 2018-02-01)Age-related loss of muscle mass and function is associated with increased frailty and loss of independence. The mechanisms underlying the susceptibility of different muscle types to age-related atrophy are not fully ... -
Redox-polymers enable uninterrupted day/night photo-driven electricity generation in biophotovoltaic devices
(The Electrochemical Society, 2016-12-06)Biophotovoltaic devices modified with immobilized polymeric osmium/azine redox-mediators exhibited a considerable electrical output enhancement (64/43-fold under light/dark conditions, respectively). More importantly, the ... -

Reduced levels of nadh-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase decrease the glutamate content of ripe tomato fruit but have no effect on green fruit or leaves
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-04-15)Glutamate (Glu) is a taste enhancer that contributes to the characteristic flavour of foods. In fruit of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), the Glu content increases dramatically during the ripening process, becoming the ... -
Reduced occipital and prefrontal brain volumes in dysbindin-associated schizophrenia
(Springer Nature, 2009-09-30)A three-marker C-A-T dysbindin haplotype identified by Williams et al (PMID: 15066891) is associated with increased risk for schizophrenia, decreased mRNA expression, poorer cognitive performance, and early sensory processing ... -
