Factors influencing the development of empathy and pro-social behaviour among adolescents: A systematic review
(Elsevier, 2018-07-25)
Research has indicated that empathy and prosocial responding are associated with numerous emotional, psychological and social benefits. However, although adolescence is recognised as a key period for prosocial development, ...
Improving data workflow systems with cloud services and use of open data for bioinformatics research
(Oxford University Press, 2017-04-16)
Data workflow systems (DWFSs) enable bioinformatics researchers to combine components for data access and data analytics, and to share the final data analytics approach with their collaborators. Increasingly, such systems ...
Abstract A27: A linked data approach to discover HPV oncoprotiens and RB1 induced mutation associations for the retinoblastoma research
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2017-01)
Background: LOSS or GAIN in tumor suppressor gene RB1 play a significant role as in case of loss low penetrance where only 39% of eye at risk develops in retinoblastoma. This research covers the multiple mutation types and ...
Incompressible moving boundary flows with the finite volume particle method
(Elsevier, 2010-03-24)
Mesh-free methods offer the potential for greatly simplified modeling of flow with moving walls and phase interfaces. The finite volume particle method (FVPM) is a mesh-free technique based on interparticle fluxes which ...
Long-term exposure of CdTe quantum dots on PC12 cellular activity and the determination of optimum non-toxic concentrations for biological use
(2010)
Background: The unique and tuneable photonic properties of Quantum Dots (QDs) have made them potentially useful tools for imaging biological entities. However, QDs though attractive diagnostic and therapeutic tools, have ...
APCR, factor V gene known and novel SNPs and adverse pregnancy outcomes in an Irish cohort of pregnant women
(2010)
Background: Activated Protein C Resistance (APCR), a poor anticoagulant response of APC in haemostasis, is the commonest heritable thrombophilia. Adverse outcomes during pregnancy have been linked to APCR. This study ...
Non-viral gene therapy for myocardial engineering
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-05)
Despite significant advances in surgical and pharmacological techniques, myocardial infarction (MI) remains the main cause of morbidity in the developed world because no remedy has been found for the regeneration of infarcted ...
Spinal cord injury in vitro: Modelling axon growth inhibition
(Elsevier, 2010-06)
Over the past three decades, tremendous progress has been made in elucidating mechanisms underlying regenerative failure after spinal cord injury and in devising therapeutic approaches to promote functional nerve regeneration. ...
Ghrelin in the human myometrium
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2010-03-29)
Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid octanolyated peptide, synthesised primarily in the stomach. It stimulates growth hormone release, food intake and exhibits many other diverse effects. Our group have previously determined that ...
The influence of size and charge of chitosan/polyglutamic acid hollow spheres on cellular internalization, viability and blood compatibility
(Elsevier, 2010-11)
Polymeric hollow spheres can be tailored as efficient carriers of various therapeutic molecules due to their tunable properties. However, the entry of these synthetic vehicles into cells, their cell viability and blood ...
