Cloning and characterization of two genes encoding rainbow trout homologues of the IFITM protein family
(Elsevier, 2006-04-15)
To identify genes connected with leucocyte function in rainbow trout a cDNA library derived front head kidney leucocytes exposed to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was screened. A clone with homology to the previously described ...
Burden of chronic kidney disease and rapid decline in renal function among adults attending a hospital-based diabetes center in Northern Europe
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-14)
Introduction This study aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and rapid renal function decline and to identify indices associated with this decline among adults attending a diabetes center in ...
Developing, implementing and critiquing an evaluation framework to assess the extent to which a child’s right to be heard is embedded at an organisational level
(Springer, 2021-08-10)
The national Child and Family Agency in Ireland, in 2015, undertook an ambitious three-year programme of work to embed a child s right to be heard in its culture and operations. In parallel to its implementation, the authors ...
Macromolecularly crowded in vitro microenvironments accelerate the production of extracellular matrix-rich supramolecular assemblies.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-03-04)
Therapeutic strategies based on the principles of tissue engineering by self-assembly put forward the notion that functional regeneration can be achieved by utilising the inherent capacity of cells to create highly ...
Help seeking and help providing in Ireland
(Association of Children's Welfare Agencies (ACWA) and the NSW Family Services (FamS), 2019-12)
Recent developments in the Irish child welfare system have involved a targeted move towards the provision of accessible help at a more timely point for children, young people and their families. It is widely accepted that ...
The synergistic effect of low oxygen tension and macromolecular crowding in the development of extracellular matrix-rich tendon equivalents
(IOP Publishing, 2020-02-26)
Cellular therapies play an important role in tendon tissue engineering, with tenocytes being the most prominent and potent cell population available. However, for the development of a rich extracellular matrix tenocyte-assembled ...
Protective support and supportive protection for families “in the middle”: Learning from the Irish context
(Wiley, 2019-08-08)
This paper critically examines the relationship between statutory family support and child protection using the case study of Ireland. It builds on the work of Devaney and McGregor (2017) to offer an additional contribution ...
Human mesenchymal stromal cells broadly modulate high glucose-induced inflammatory responses of renal proximal tubular cell monolayers
(BMC, 2019-11-19)
Background: Renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC) are dysfunctional in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) may modulate DKD pathogenesis through anti-inflammatory mediators. This study ...
Empathy, social responsibility, and civic behavior among Irish adolescents: A socio-contextual approach
(SAGE Publications, 2020-12-09)
Research suggests that empathy and positive social values are important drivers of youth prosocial and civic action. However, theory and research indicate that young people’s civic behaviors are also shaped by their ...
The motivational factors and adverse events experienced by healthy volunteers donating bone marrow for research
(Heighten Science Publications Corporation (HSPC), 2019-12-05)
Background: With the advancement of cell therapy research, there is an increasing need for
healthy volunteers (HV) to donate small volumes (30 ml) of human bone marrow (BM). The BM procedure required to procure small ...
