What role does rural place play in the lives of mid-life women in Sweden and Ireland?
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
Rural place is a significant influencer of the ageing and states of well-being experienced
by older women. This paper extends existing knowledge on gendered rural place by examining
its influence on mid-life (45–65 years) ...
Mesenchymal stromal cell–based therapies for acute kidney injury: progress in the last decade
(Elsevier, 2020-01-28)
A little over 10 years ago, the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) was becoming widely recognized. Since then, there has been further intensive study ...
Plasma dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated Matrix Gla-Protein (dp-ucMGP): reference intervals in Caucasian adults and diabetic kidney disease biomarker potential
(Nature Research, 2019-12-05)
Recent studies suggest a possible association between dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated MGP (dp-ucMGP) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This study aimed to establish normative data in an adult Caucasian population and ...
Increased weight gain during the long interdialytic period Is associated with minor effects on blood pressure control in clinically stable in-centre haemodialysis patients
(Karger Publishers, 2018-11-09)
Background/Aims: Three-day-a-week chronic haemodialysis (cHD) involves 1 long (72 h) and 2 short (48 h) inter-dialytic periods (IDPs), We aimed to determine whether BP control following the long IDP is inferior to the short ...

This case study of our collective response as staff and students engaged in extracurricular activities is a vital contribution to the understanding of student life in the COVID-19 era. First, we introduce our ...
Preparation and characterization of tissue surrogates rich in extracellular matrix using the principles of macromolecular crowding
(Humana Press, 2019-03)
Tissue engineering by self-assembly allows for the fabrication of living tissue surrogates by taking advantage of the cell's inherent ability to produce and deposit tissue-specific extracellular matrix. However, the long ...
A standardised flexibility assessment methodology for demand response
(Emerald, 2019-05-30)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a standardised four-step flexibility assessment methodology for evaluating the available electrical load reduction or increase a building can provide in response to a signal ...
In vitro models for assessing therapeutic angiogenesis
(Elsevier, 2016-06-01)
Arterial obstruction leading to ischemia causes a reduction of oxygen and nutrient supply to distal tissues. The physiological response to tissue ischemia triggers a cascade of events that results in the development of ...
Effects of mesenchymal stromal cells on regulatory T cells: Current understanding and clinical relevance
(AlphaMed Press and Wiley, 2020-01-29)
The immunomodulatory potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and regulatory T cells (T-reg) is well recognized by translational scientists in the field of regenerative medicine and cellular therapies. A wide range ...
Children’s perceptions of the skills needed to ‘fit in’ when starting school
