Rapid chemical communication between cells in the vertebrate central nervous system is mediated by ligand-gated ion-channel receptors (also called ionotropic receptors), which are multisubunit complexes, that each contain an ion-selective channel. In... Read More about GABA-, Glycine-, and Glutamate-Gated Channels and Their Possible Involvement in Neurological and Psychiatric Illness.

Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation (1996)
Book Chapter
Singleton, I., & Tobin, J. M. (1996). Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation. In J. C. Frankland, N. Magan, & G. M. Gadd (Eds.), Fungi and environmental change (282-298). Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511753190.018

Microorganisms, including fungi, are known to accumulate metals from their external environment and the possibility of using fungi as a means of treating metal/radionuclide-containing effluents is well recognized (Siegel, Galun & Siegel, 1990; Gadd,...

Regulation of the expression of nitric oxide synthase and leishmanicidal activity by glycoconjugates of Leishmania lipophosphoglycan in murine macrophages. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 93(20), 10984-10989. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.93.20.10984

Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) glycoconjugates from promastigotes of Leishmania were not able to induce the expression of the cytokine-inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) by the murine macrophage cell line, J774. However, they synergize with interferon y...

Actinomycete diversity associated with foaming in activated sludge plants (1996)
Journal Article
Goodfellow, M., Davenport, R., Stainsby, F. M., & Curtis, T. P. (1996). Actinomycete diversity associated with foaming in activated sludge plants. Journal of industrial microbiology, 17(3-4), 268-280. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf01574701

Large numbers of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes were isolated from foam and scum samples taken from three activated-sludge sewage-treatment plants using several selective isolation media. Organisms presumptively identified as gordonae formed t... Read More about Actinomycete diversity associated with foaming in activated sludge plants.

Molecular Analysis of the Replication Origin of the Lactococcus lactis Plasmid pCI305 (1996)
Journal Article

The replication origin region, ori, of the Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis plasmid pCI305
contains three-and-one-half directly repeated 22-bp sequences and two inverted repeat sequences,
IR1 and IR2. These inverted repeat sequences overlap the pro... Read More about Molecular Analysis of the Replication Origin of the Lactococcus lactis Plasmid pCI305.

Changes in expression of transforming growth factor beta mRNA isoforms in patients undergoing tamoxifen therapy (1996)
Journal Article
MacCallum, J., Keen, J., Bartlett, J., Thompson, A., Dixon, J., & Miller, W. (1996). Changes in expression of transforming growth factor beta mRNA isoforms in patients undergoing tamoxifen therapy. British Journal of Cancer, 74(3), 474-478. https://doi.org/10.1038/bjc.1996.385

Tumour was obtained from 37 patients with oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, before and during treatment with tamoxifen, and examined qualitatively and semi-qualitatively for mRNA of the three mammalian TGF-beta isoforms. Levels of TGF-beta i... Read More about Changes in expression of transforming growth factor beta mRNA isoforms in patients undergoing tamoxifen therapy.

Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web? (1996)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Beaney, S., & Raffaelli, D. (1996). Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web?. Oikos, 76(2), 284. https://doi.org/10.2307/3546201

At least ten different static patterns have been suggested by the analysis of food webs. However, the existence of many of these patterns has been questioned in recent years. One pattern that has remained immune from such criticism is intervality. In... Read More about Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web?.

Does hysterectomy in a premenopausal woman affect ovarian function? (1996)
Journal Article
Chalmers, C. (1996). Does hysterectomy in a premenopausal woman affect ovarian function?. Medical Hypotheses, 46(6), 573-575. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0306-9877%2896%2990134-6

Women undergoing a hysterectomy without oophorectomy in their premenopausal years would expect to benefit from continued secretion of oestrogens to protect them from the conditions and symptoms associated with the climacteric and postmenopause. Howev... Read More about Does hysterectomy in a premenopausal woman affect ovarian function?.
