Using steam to power equality and democracy in vaccination decision making in the face of climate apartheid (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacDonald, I., Firth, R., Healey, C., Malone, E., & McDermott, A. (2023). Using steam to power equality and democracy in vaccination decision making in the face of climate apartheid. In Design for Adaptation Cumulus Conference Proceedings Detroit 2022 (1

Technology and science are often promoted as the answer to the climate crisis, but changing human behavior from a user-centric position requires a humanistic and design thinking approach (Brown, 2009). If climate apartheid is to be challenged to decr... Read More about Using steam to power equality and democracy in vaccination decision making in the face of climate apartheid.

Pre-validation of a reporter gene assay for oxidative stress for the rapid screening of nanobiomaterials (2022)
Journal Article
Martin, S., de Haan, L., Miro Estruch, I., Eder, K. M., Marzi, A., Schnekenburger, J., …Bouwmeester, H. (2022). Pre-validation of a reporter gene assay for oxidative stress for the rapid screening of nanobiomaterials. Frontiers in Toxicology, 4, Article

Engineered nanomaterials have been found to induce oxidative stress. Cellular oxidative stress, in turn, can result in the induction of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes which are controlled by the nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) tra...

Immune Response of Elite Enduro Racers to Laboratory and Racing Environments: The Influence of Training Impulse and Vibration (2021)
Journal Article
Kirkwood, L., Ingram-Sills, L., Taylor, M. D., Malone, E., & Florida-James, G. (2021). Immune Response of Elite Enduro Racers to Laboratory and Racing Environments: The Influence of Training Impulse and Vibration. International Journal of Environmental Re

Introduction: Understanding the sport-specific immune response elicited during both training and competition is imperative to maximise athlete health and performance. Despite a growing population of professional enduro mountain bike athletes, little...

Older men display elevated levels of senescence-associated exercise-responsive CD28null angiogenic T cells compared with younger men (2018)
Journal Article
Ross, M., Ingram, L., Taylor, G., Malone, E., Simpson, R. J., West, D., & Florida-James, G. (2018). Older men display elevated levels of senescence-associated exercise-responsive CD28null angiogenic T cells compared with younger men. Physiological Reports

Aging is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease risk. As a result of aging, endothelial dysfunction develops, partly due to a reduction in vascular regenerative ability. CD31+ T-cells (angiogenic T-cells; TANG) possess highly angiogenic capa...

Silver nanoparticles promote the emergence of heterogeneic human neutrophil sub-populations (2018)
Journal Article
Kemp, S., Young, L., Ross, M., Prach, M., Hutchison, G. R., Malone, E., & Fraser, J. A. (2018). Silver nanoparticles promote the emergence of heterogeneic human neutrophil sub-populations. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 7506. https://doi.org/10.1038/s4

Neutrophil surveillance is central to nanoparticle clearance. Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have numerous uses, however conflicting evidence exists as to their impact on neutrophils and whether they trigger damaging inflammation. Neutrophil’s importanc...
