Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydophila abortus induce the expression of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor in cells of the human female reproductive tract (2008)
Journal Article
Wheelhouse, N., Wattegedera, S., Fleming, D., Fitch, P., Kelly, R., & Entrican, G. (2008). Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydophila abortus induce the expression of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor in cells of the human female reproductive tract. Microbiology and Immunology, 52(9), 465-468. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1348-0421.2008.00058.x

C. trachomatis and C. abortus are related Gram-negative intracellular bacteria that cause reproductive failure due to infertility (C. trachomatis) or abortion (C. abortus). These organisms target epithelial cells in the reproductive tract and/or plac...

Effecting an improvement to the fitness function. How to evolve a more identifiable face. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frowd, C., Park, J., McIntyre, A., Bruce, V., Pitchford, M., Fields, S., Kenirons, M., & Hancock, P. J. (2008, August). Effecting an improvement to the fitness function. How to evolve a more identifiable face. Presented at 2008 Bio-inspired, Learning and Intelligent Systems for Security

Constructing the face of a criminal from the selection of individual facial parts is a hard task. We have been working on a new system called EvoFIT that involves the selection and breeding of complete faces. The approach is theoretically better foun...

ATP stimulates MDM2-mediated inhibition of the DNA-binding function of E2F1: ATP stimulated inhibition of E2F1 by MDM2 (2008)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., Pettersson, S., Wawrzynow, B., Wallace, M., Ball, K., Zylicz, A., & Hupp, T. R. (2008). ATP stimulates MDM2-mediated inhibition of the DNA-binding function of E2F1: ATP stimulated inhibition of E2F1 by MDM2. FEBS Journal, 275(19), 4875-4886. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1742-4658.2008.06627.x

Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) protein exhibits many diverse biochemical functions on the tumour suppressor protein p53, including transcriptional suppression and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. However, more recent data have shown that MDM2 can exhibit... Read More about ATP stimulates MDM2-mediated inhibition of the DNA-binding function of E2F1: ATP stimulated inhibition of E2F1 by MDM2.

Glucocorticoid receptor-mediated regulation of MMP9 gene expression in human ovarian surface epithelial cells (2008)
Journal Article

Objective
To obtain proof-of-concept that locally produced anti-inflammatory steroids suppress ovulation-associated extracellular matrix proteases in human ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells.

Design
Primary OSE cell cultures treated with int... Read More about Glucocorticoid receptor-mediated regulation of MMP9 gene expression in human ovarian surface epithelial cells.

Below-ground root yield and distribution in natural and replanted mangrove forests at Gazi bay, Kenya (2008)
Journal Article
Tamooh, F., Huxham, M., Karachi, M., Mencuccini, M., Kairo, J. G., & Kirui, B. (2008). Below-ground root yield and distribution in natural and replanted mangrove forests at Gazi bay, Kenya. Forest Ecology and Management, 256(6), 1290-1297. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2008.06.026

Estimation of total biomass in woody ecosystems is important because of its relevance to nutrient turnover and the potential to store carbon. Most work on mangrove biomass, particularly in the Western Indian Ocean Region, has concentrated on the abov...

Severality: Beyond the Compression of the Cogito (2008)
Journal Article
Neill, C. (2008). Severality: Beyond the Compression of the Cogito. Subjectivity, 24(1), 325-339. https://doi.org/10.1057/sub.2008.21

This paper explores a Lacanian approach towards inter-subjectivity and a consideration of how such an approach might impact constructively on social psychology. Drawing largely on the work of Bracha Ettinger, the paper will consider questions of alte... Read More about Severality: Beyond the Compression of the Cogito.

Biological indicators of disturbance at a dredged-material disposal site in Liverpool Bay, UK: an assessment using time-series data (2008)
Journal Article
Whomersley, P., Ware, S., Rees, H. L., Mason, C., Bolam, T., Huxham, M., & Bates, H. (2008). Biological indicators of disturbance at a dredged-material disposal site in Liverpool Bay, UK: an assessment using time-series data. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65(8), 1414-1420. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsn125

The development of reliable indicators of disturbance in the marine environment is essential because of increasing anthropogenic pressures and the need for more effective regulation. Our objective was to evaluate 13 nationally and internationally rec...

P1‐066: Dietary restriction delays ageing, but not neuronal pathology, in drosophila models of Alzheimer's disease (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerr, F., Partridge, L., & AddNeuroMed consortium. (2008, July). P1‐066: Dietary restriction delays ageing, but not neuronal pathology, in drosophila models of Alzheimer's disease. Presented at Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease, Chicago, Illinois

Background
Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in diverse organisms and can delay a range of ageing-related diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas high-fat diets are suggested to be an important environmental risk factor for AD....
