Expression of the GABA(A) receptor gamma4-subunit gene in discrete nuclei within the zebra finch song system (2008)
Journal Article
Thode, C., Guettinger, H. R., & Darlison, M. G. (2008). Expression of the GABA(A) receptor gamma4-subunit gene in discrete nuclei within the zebra finch song system. Neuroscience, 157, 143-152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2008.08.057

The acquisition, production and maintenance of song by oscine birds is a form of audition-dependent learning that, in many ways, resembles the process by which humans learn to speak. In songbirds, the generation of structured song is determined by th... Read More about Expression of the GABA(A) receptor gamma4-subunit gene in discrete nuclei within the zebra finch song system.

Investigating the frequency of senescent T lymphocytes with ageing, exercise and obesity (2008)
Thesis
Cosgrove, C. Investigating the frequency of senescent T lymphocytes with ageing, exercise and obesity. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2491

Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest in which a cell is unable to further divide in response to normal growth stimuli. Telomere shortening, believed to be a mechanism of cellular senescence, is a result of numerous rounds of...

Novel insights into DAPK autophagic signalling using peptide aptamer combinatorial protein-interaction screens (2008)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., & Hupp, T. R. (2008). Novel insights into DAPK autophagic signalling using peptide aptamer combinatorial protein-interaction screens. Autophagy, 4(4), 531-533. https://doi.org/10.4161/auto.5940

DAPK represents a relatively unique enzyme in the protein kinase superfamily whose major biological functions are linked to both autophagy and signal-mediated apoptosis. However, genetic studies have not yet uncovered how DAPK integrates into the cor...

Effect of age on 16.1km time trial performance. (2008)
Journal Article
Balmer, J., Bird, S. R., Davison, R., & Lucia, A. (2008). Effect of age on 16.1km time trial performance. Journal of Sports Sciences, 26, 197-206. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640410701446901

In this study, we assessed the performance of trained senior (n = 6) and veteran (n = 6) cyclists (mean age 28 years, s = 3 and 57 years, s = 4 respectively). Each competitor completed two cycling tests, a ramped peak aerobic test and an indoor 16.1-... Read More about Effect of age on 16.1km time trial performance..
