The influence of age and cardiorespiratory fitness on circulating angiogenic T cells and CXCR4 expression (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, M. D., Malone, E. M., Simpson, R. J., & Florida-James, G. (2015, May). The influence of age and cardiorespiratory fitness on circulating angiogenic T cells and CXCR4 expression. Presented at Annual Congress of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)

Aging is associated with endothelial dysfunction, reduced angiogenic capabilities, and an increase in arterial stiffness. Additionally, regular exercise is known to offset the age-related decline in blood vessel number and function. Circulating angio...

Sleep disruption and its effect on lymphocyte redeployment following an acute bout of exercise (2015)
Journal Article
Florida-James, G. D., Ingram, L. A., Simpson, R. J., Malone, E., & Florida-James, G. (2015). Sleep disruption and its effect on lymphocyte redeployment following an acute bout of exercise. Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 47, 100-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.2014.12.018

Sleep disruption and deprivation are common in contemporary society and have been linked with poor health, decreased job performance and increased life-stress. The rapid redeployment of lymphocytes between the blood and tissues is an archetypal featu...

Can we enable students to reach their potential through engaging with feedback – a feedback pathway? (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Malone, E., & MacNab, A. (2015, January). Can we enable students to reach their potential through engaging with feedback – a feedback pathway?. Presented at The Teaching Fellows Conference, Edinburgh Napier University

In response to our experience and supporting evidence [1] that students may not engage with, understand or use their feedback, we have created and introduced a ’feedback pathway’ into a level 9 module. This pathway promotes engagement with and the a... Read More about Can we enable students to reach their potential through engaging with feedback – a feedback pathway?.

Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nicol, L., Malone, E., & Proudfoot, L. (2012, April). Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity. Poster presented at British Society for Parasitology Conference, 50th Anniversary, Glasgow

Nanomaterials, having at least one dimension less than 100nm, have unique physico-chemical properties due to their small size, large surface area and surface reactivity. Manufactured nanomaterials have enormous potential in industrial, pharmaceutical... Read More about Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity.

Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dickson, C., Prach, M., Fraser, J., Ingram, L., Barlow, P., Hutchison, G., Proudfoot, L., & Malone, E. (2012, February). Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation. Presented at NanoImpactNet-QNANO conference - European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials, Dublin, Ireland

Neutrophils, the rapid responders of the innate immune system, are central to the initial immune responses of a host to foreign particles. Circulating in the blood, they are the predominant leukocyte (40-75%), and are positioned to rapidly migrate to... Read More about Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation.
