Reduced alveolar macrophage migration induced by acute ambient particle (PM10) exposure (2007)
Journal Article
Barlow, P. G., Brown, D. M., Donaldson, K., MacCallum, J., & Stone, V. (2008). Reduced alveolar macrophage migration induced by acute ambient particle (PM10) exposure. Cell Biology and Toxicology, 24(3), 243-252. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10565-007-9033-y

Increased levels of particulate air pollution (PM10) have been implicated as a causal agent in pulmonary disease exacerbation and increased deaths from respiratory and cardiovascular disorders. The exact mechanism by which PM10 drives toxicity in the... Read More about Reduced alveolar macrophage migration induced by acute ambient particle (PM10) exposure.

Nanoparticle interactions with zinc and iron: Implications for toxicology and inflammation (2007)
Journal Article

Impact of atmospheric ozone-enrichment on quality-related attributes of tomato fruit (2007)
Journal Article
Tzortzakis, N., Borland, A., Singleton, I., & Barnes, J. (2007). Impact of atmospheric ozone-enrichment on quality-related attributes of tomato fruit. Postharvest Biology and Technology, 45(3), 317-325. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2007.03.004

Tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Carousel) were exposed to ozone concentrations ranging between 0.005 (controls) and 1.0 μmol mol−1 at 13 °C and 95% RH. Quality-related attributes and organoleptic characteristics were examined during and... Read More about Impact of atmospheric ozone-enrichment on quality-related attributes of tomato fruit.

Identification of a dominant negative functional domain on DAPK-1 that degrades DAPK-1 protein and stimulates TNFR-1-mediated apoptosis. (2007)
Journal Article
Lin, Y., Stevens, C., & Hupp, T. (2007). Identification of a dominant negative functional domain on DAPK-1 that degrades DAPK-1 protein and stimulates TNFR-1-mediated apoptosis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 282(23), 16792-16802. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M611559200

DAPK-1 is a stress-activated tumor suppressor protein that plays a role in both proapoptotic or antiapoptotic signal transduction pathways. To define mechanisms of DAPK-1 protein regulation, we have determined that DAPK-1 protein has a long half-life...

Deployment of low-level ozone-enrichment for the preservation of chilled fresh produce (2007)
Journal Article
Tzortzakis, N., Singleton, I., & Barnes, J. (2007). Deployment of low-level ozone-enrichment for the preservation of chilled fresh produce. Postharvest Biology and Technology, 43(2), 261-270. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2006.09.005

Tomatoes, strawberries, table grapes and plums were inoculated with Botrytis cinerea (grey mould), transferred to chilled storage (13 °C) and exposed to ‘clean air’ or low-level ozone-enrichment (0.1 μmol mol−1). Ozone-enrichment resulted in a substa... Read More about Deployment of low-level ozone-enrichment for the preservation of chilled fresh produce.

A Germ Line Mutation in the Death Domain of DAPK-1 Inactivates ERK-induced Apoptosis (2007)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., Lin, Y., Sanchez, M., Amin, E., Copson, E., White, H., Durston, V., Eccles, D. M., & Hupp, T. (2007). A Germ Line Mutation in the Death Domain of DAPK-1 Inactivates ERK-induced Apoptosis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 282(18), 13791-13803. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m605649200

p53 is activated genetically by a set of kinases that are components of the calcium calmodulin kinase superfamily, including CHK2, AMP kinase, and DAPK-1. In dissecting the mechanism of DAPK-1 control, a novel mutation (N1347S) was identified in the...
