Journal Article
Briers, R. (2004). The relationship between abundance and prevalence of trematode parasites infecting Lymnaea stagnalis L. Journal of Conchology, 38(4), 363-367

The relationship between the prevalence and abundance (infection intensity) of trematode parasites infecting Lymnaea stagnalis L. was investigated based on collections of snails from 12 sites in central UK. Five species of trematode were recorded fro... Read More about The relationship between abundance and prevalence of trematode parasites infecting Lymnaea stagnalis L..

Journal Article
Lindahl, U., Li, J., Kusche-Gullberg, M., Salmivirta, M., Alaranta, S., Veromaa, T., …Casu, B. (2005). Generation of “Neoheparin” from E. coli K5 Capsular Polysaccharide. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 48(2), 349-352. https://doi.org/10.1021/jm0498

Heparin remains a major drug in prevention of thromboembolic disease. Concerns related to its animal source have prompted search for heparin analogues. The anticoagulant activity of heparin depends on a specific pentasaccharide sequence that binds a... Read More about Generation of “Neoheparin” from E. coli K5 Capsular Polysaccharide.

Serum exposed to nanoparticle carbon black displays increased potential to induce macrophage migration (2004)
Journal Article
Barlow, P., Donaldson, K., MacCallum, J., Clouter, A., & Stone, V. (2005). Serum exposed to nanoparticle carbon black displays increased potential to induce macrophage migration. Toxicology Letters, 155(3), 397-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2004.1

Objective: To assess whether fine and ultrafine particles (nanoparticles) have the capacity to activate factors in serum that would induce macrophage migration. This is a model previously reported to investigate complement activation by other respir...

Flexible foraging patterns under different time constraints in tropical boobies (2004)
Journal Article
