Journal Article
Cole, G., Lavender, E., Naylor, A., Girling, S., Aleynik, D., Oppel, S., Dodd, J., & Thorburn, J. (2024). Physiological responses to capture, handling and tagging in the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius). Conservation Physiology, 12(1), Article coae077. https://doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae077

Catch-and-release angling is a popular recreational pastime and an essential component of many fish research programmes. Marked physiological disturbances have been documented in elasmobranchs in response to angling and handling, but skates and rays...

An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period (2024)
Journal Article
Lithgow, H., Gibson, L., Wilson, R., Guthrie, N., Ingram-Sills, L., Clifford, T., & Ross, M. (online). An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period. European Journal of Applied Physiology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-024-05677-y

Purpose Exercise is known to acutely affect T-lymphocyte populations in the peripheral blood, which is intensity- and
duration-dependent. However, effects of longer duration endurance exercise (>5 h) on T-cells in the days following are
unknown.... Read More about An ultra-endurance event leads to changes in circulating regulatory T-cells, CD4+ naïve and CD8+ effector memory T-cells in the 48 h post-race recovery period.

Seasonal Variation in Vascular Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Recommendations for Future Research (2024)
Journal Article
Gordon, A., Ross, M., Weston, K., Neubeck, L., & Muggeridge, D. (online). Seasonal Variation in Vascular Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Recommendations for Future Research. International Journal of Environmental Health Research, https://doi.org/10.1080/09603123.2024.2432562

Vascular function serves as a prognostic marker for cardiovascular disease and may exhibit seasonal variations due to lifestyle and environmental factors. Our systematic review aimed to determine whether seasonal variations in vascular function are p...

‘Now there you go, there’s my life. All my life is coming to prisons!’: persistent punishment in the lives of Scottish families affected by imprisonment (2024)
Journal Article
Foster, R. (online). ‘Now there you go, there’s my life. All my life is coming to prisons!’: persistent punishment in the lives of Scottish families affected by imprisonment. Families, Relationships and Societies, https://doi.org/10.1332/20467435Y2024D000000037

Internationally, there has been increased attention by research, policy and practice to the experiences of the family members of prisoners. Scotland continues to experience a disproportionately high rate of imprisonment, and this often translates to... Read More about ‘Now there you go, there’s my life.

Insights into the effects of sex and tissue location on the evolution of adipocyte dysfunction in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). (2024)
Journal Article
Levate, G., Wang, Y., McCredie, R., Fenwick, M., Rae, M. T., Duncan, W. C., & Siemienowicz, K. J. (2025). Insights into the effects of sex and tissue location on the evolution of adipocyte dysfunction in an ovine model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 595, Article 112416. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mce.2024.112416

Adipose tissue dysfunction is one of the features of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) with dysregulated adipogenesis, altered functional pathways and increased inflammation. It is increasingly clear that there are also male correlates of the hormonal...

Scientific Reports, 14(1), Article 28239. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-79690-8

Complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) is a primary mechanism-of-action of monoclonal antibody (mAb) immunotherapies used to treat haematological cancers, including rituximab and daratumumab. However, mAb efficacy may be limited by reduced bioavaila...

Looking back at Covid-19 government restrictions: were local lockdown regions with tighter restrictions less adherent before the restrictions and more adherent after? (2024)
Journal Article
den Daas, C., Johnston, M., Hubbard, G., & Dixon, D. (2024). Looking back at Covid-19 government restrictions: were local lockdown regions with tighter restrictions less adherent before the restrictions and more adherent after?. Translational Behavioral Medicine, 14(12), 732-737. https://doi.org/10.1093/tbm/ibae061

It is assumed that increases in Covid-19 cases are caused by people not adhering to advised individual transmission-reducing behaviours. Upon the implementation of restrictions, the hypothesis is that those individuals will change their behaviour. We...
