Barriers and facilitators to implementation of menu labelling interventions to support healthy food choices: a mixed methods systematic review protocol
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background
Menu labelling is continuing to gather public and legislative support as one of the potential environmental strategies for addressing the obesity pandemic. However, issues relating to implementation have been ...
The long-term quality of life and information needs of prostate cancer survivors.
(Wiley, 2017-12-10)
What are the quality of life (QoL) and information needs of long‐term prostate cancer survivors? Numbers of prostate cancer survivors are increasing and it is vital that their QoL issues and information needs are understood. ...
MicroRNA expression profiling to identify and validate reference genes for relative quantification in colorectal cancer
(Biomed Central, 2010)
Background
Advances in high-throughput technologies and bioinformatics have transformed gene expression profiling methodologies. The results of microarray experiments are often validated using reverse transcription ...
Inhibition by Anandamide of 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Cell Death in PC12 Cells
(2010)
6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective neurotoxin that is widely used to investigate cell death and protective strategies in models of Parkinson's disease. Here, we investigated the effects of the endogenous cannabinoid, ...

miR-379 Regulates Cyclin B1 Expression and Is Decreased in Breast Cancer
(2013)
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that control gene expression post-transcriptionally, and are known
to be altered in many diseases including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance ...
Pharmacological inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase attenuates LPS-induced increases in cytokine expression in the rat frontal cortex and plasma: differential mechanisms of action
(2013)
Background and purpose: This study determined the effect of JZL184, a selective inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), the enzyme which preferentially catabolises the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), ...
