Development of an acute ovine model of polycystic ovaries to assess the effect of ovarian denervation (2023)
Journal Article
Duncan, W. C., Nicol, L. M., O’Hare, R., Witherington, J., Miranda, J. A., Campbell, B. K., Thomas, J. L., & Rae, M. T. (2023). Development of an acute ovine model of polycystic ovaries to assess the effect of ovarian denervation. Frontiers in Endocrinology, 14, Article 1285269. https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2023.1285269

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) seems to be associated with increased ovarian sympathetic nerve activity and in rodent models of PCOS reducing the sympathetic drive to the ovary, through denervation or neuromodulation, improves ovulati...

Exploring what Student Engagement means for Biology Educators: What can Gamification Research tell us? (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Garden, C. L. P. (2023, July). Exploring what Student Engagement means for Biology Educators: What can Gamification Research tell us?. Presented at Society for Experimental Biology Centenary Conference, Edinburgh

The way we teach experimental biology continues to change as we recover, and learn lessons, from the COVID-19 pandemic. We often discuss student engagement as part of this process, but what does this mean in practice? How can we tell if students are...

Journal Article
Stokes, T., Cen, H. H., Kapranov, P., Gallagher, I. J., Pitsillides, A. A., Volmar, C., Kraus, W. E., Johnson, J. D., Phillips, S. M., Wahlestedt, C., & Timmons, J. A. (2023). Transcriptomics for Clinical and Experimental Biology Research: Hang on a Seq. Advanced Genetics, 4(2), Article 2200024. https://doi.org/10.1002/ggn2.202200024

Sequencing the human genome empowers translational medicine, facilitating transcriptome-wide molecular diagnosis, pathway biology, and drug repositioning. Initially, microarrays are used to study the bulk transcriptome; but now short-read RNA sequenc... Read More about Transcriptomics for Clinical and Experimental Biology Research: Hang on a Seq.
