A non-apoptotic role for caspase-9 in muscle differentiation
(The Company of Biologists, 2008-10-28)Caspases, a family of cysteine proteases most often investigated for their roles in apoptosis, have also been demonstrated to have functions that are vital for the efficient execution of cell differentiation. One such role ... -
Critical difference and biological variation in biomarkers of oxidative stress and nutritional status in athletes
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016-03-01)The longitudinal monitoring of oxidative stress (OS) in athletes may enable the identification of fatigued states and underperformance. The application of OS biomarker monitoring programs in sport are hindered by reliability ... -
Dna-pk activity is associated with caspase-dependent myogenic differentiation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-10-01)Differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes is essential for skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Caspase-3 and caspase-9 are required for efficient myoblast differentiation. The caspase-activated endonuclease ... -
Effect of logarithmic and linear frequency scales on parametric modelling of tissue dielectric data
(IOP Publishing, 2017-02-03)The dielectric properties of biological tissues have been studied widely over the past half-century. These properties are used in a vast array of applications, from determining the safety of wireless telecommunication ... -
Effects of abnormal cannabidiol on oxytocin-induced myometrial contractility
(BioScientifica, 2010-01-12)The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of abnormal cannabidiol (abn-cbd) on oxytocin-induced myometrial contractility occurring during pregnancy. Isometric tension recordings were performed in isolated ... -
Effects of replacing grass silage with maize silages differing in inclusion level and maturity on the performance, meat quality and concentrate-sparing effect of beef cattle
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2012-12-18)The effects of maturity of maize at harvest, level of inclusion and potential interactions on the performance, carcass composition, meat quality and potential concentrate-sparing effect when offered to finishing beef cattle ... -
Effects of systemic and regional taurine on skeletal muscle function following ischaemia–reperfusion injury

Haemodynamic performance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (nmes) during recovery from total hip arthroplasty
(Springer Nature, 2013-01-01)Background: Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and ... -
Molecular phylogenies support homoplasy of multiple morphological characters used in the taxonomy of heteroscleromorpha (porifera: demospongiae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-06-10)Sponge classification has long been based mainly on morphocladistic analyses but is now being greatly challenged by more than 12 years of accumulated analyses of molecular data analyses. The current study used phylogenetic ... -
The role of microRNAs in muscle wasting during ageing and disease
(NUI Galway, 2023-05-23)Sarcopenia is age-related muscle loss and management is complex. The mechanisms underpinning age-related decline in muscle health include defective muscle regeneration and deterioration of neuromuscular junctions. ... -
Soft robotic sleeve supports heart function
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2017-01-18)There is much interest in form-fitting, low-modulus, implantable devices or soft robots that can mimic or assist in complex biological functions such as the contraction of heart muscle. We present a soft robotic sleeve ...
