Thesis
Masson, C. D. Characterisation of autophagy modulation by thiopurines in inflammatory bowel disease. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2813362

Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis, are chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Genetic studies have identified strong association between genes involved in autophagy, ER-... Read More about Characterisation of autophagy modulation by thiopurines in inflammatory bowel disease.

Scottish wild deer as a potential source of human pathogenic non-O157 Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) (2021)
Thesis
Mitchell, M. C. Scottish wild deer as a potential source of human pathogenic non-O157 Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC). (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2813378

Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) are zoonotic pathogens, which release phage-encoded Shiga toxins (Stx). Stx subtypes stx2a and stx2d are associated with severe human disease. STEC O157 is the most common serotype in human disease although other...
