Preparation of cytocompatible ito neuroelectrodes with enhanced electrochemical characteristics using a facile anodic oxidation process
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-03-01)
Physicochemical modification of implantable electrode systems is recognized as a viable strategy to enhance tissue/electrode integration and electrode performance in situ. In this work, a bench-top electrochemical process ...
Hspb1 facilitates erk-mediated phosphorylation and degradation of bim to attenuate endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis
(Springer Nature, 2017-08-31)
BIM, a pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein, is a key regulator of the intrinsic (or mitochondrial) apoptosis pathway. Here, we show that BIM induction by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is suppressed in rat PC12 cells ...
Physical activity, sedentary behavior and the risk of overweight and obesity in school-aged children
(Human Kinetics, 2017-08-01)
Purpose: Globally, public health policies are targeting modifiable lifestyle behaviors. We explore the independent association of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior on the risk of childhood ...
Widespread white matter microstructural differences in schizophrenia across 4322 individuals: results from the enigma schizophrenia dti working group
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-17)
The regional distribution of white matter (WM) abnormalities in schizophrenia remains poorly understood, and reported disease effects on the brain vary widely between studies. In an effort to identify commonalities across ...
Genetic basis of benzimidazole resistance in teladorsagia circumcincta in ireland
(Springer Nature, 2017-02-13)
Resistance to benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics is common in ovine nematodes of economic importance. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) at three positions in the isotype 1 beta tubulin gene have been associated with BZ ...
Alkene 1,2-difunctionalization via radical alkenyl migration
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-11-22)
The previously accepted structure of the marine toxin azaspiracid-3 is revised based upon an original convergent and stereoselective total synthesis of the natural product. The development of a structural revision hypothesis, ...
Localisation of gamma-ray interaction points in thick monolithic cebr3 and labr3:ce scintillators
(Elsevier BV, 2017-02-01)
Localisation of gamma-ray interaction points in monolithic scintillator crystals can simplify the design and improve the performance of a future Compton telescope for gamma-ray astronomy. In this paper we compare the ...
<i>phip</i> - a novel candidate breast cancer susceptibility locus on 6q14.1
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2017-11-28)
Most non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer families have no identified genetic cause. We used linkage and haplotype analyses in familial and sporadic breast cancer cases to identify a susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q. Two independent ...
Is a motivational interviewing based lifestyle intervention for obese pregnant women across europe implemented as planned? process evaluation of the dali study
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-07)
Background: Process evaluation is an essential part of designing and assessing complex interventions. The vitamin D and lifestyle intervention study (DALI) study is testing different strategies to prevent development of ...
