Recruits of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), rarely encountered in the field were found co-inhabiting burrows of larger male and female conspecifics in the mangrove forest. They were located in the sediment of the inner walls and b...

Semi-enclosed coastal systems are of great importance both environmentally and economically. ln recent years, increased
anthropogenic activities in these areas brought the need for integrated, ecosystem-scale management. This study proposes to estim... Read More about Studying the Assimilative Capacity of Loch Creran.

P088 Involvement of NMDAR in chondrocyte cell death and matrix degeneration (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ramage, L., Hardingham, G., & Salter, D. (2009, June). P088 Involvement of NMDAR in chondrocyte cell death and matrix degeneration. Paper presented at 2nd Joint meeting of the Bone Research Society and the British Society for Matrix Biology

NMDA receptors (NMDAR) are expressed by chondrocytes in
articular cartilage although their function is yet to be fully
understood. NMDAR are ionotropic glutamate receptors which
when excessively stimulated in neurones induce cell death and
neuron... Read More about P088 Involvement of NMDAR in chondrocyte cell death and matrix degeneration.

Nippostrongylus brasiliensis is a rodent intestinal nematode with an important pulmonary migrating stage. Previous studies have observed a lack of TNF-α production and minimal recruitment of neutrophils, which led us to the belief that anti-inflammat...
