The evolution and comparative neurobiology of endocannabinoid signalling.
(2012-12-05)
CB(1)- and CB(2)-type cannabinoid receptors mediate effects of the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide in mammals. In canonical endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic plasticity, 2-AG is generated ...
Development of the cerebellum: simple steps to make a 'little brain'.
(2014)
The cerebellum is a pre-eminent model for the study of neurogenesis and circuit assembly. Increasing interest in the cerebellum as a participant in higher cognitive processes and as a locus for a range of disorders and ...
Binding loci of RelA-containing nuclear factor-kappaB dimers in promoter regions of PHM1-31 myometrial smooth muscle cells.
(2015-09)
Human parturition is associated with many pro-inflammatory mediators which are regulated by the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) family of transcription factors. In the present study, we employed a ChIP-on-chip approach to ...
Smart Polymeric Nanoparticles as Emerging Tools for Imaging--The Parallel Evolution of Materials.
(2015-11-13)
The field of imaging has developed considerably over the past decade and recent advances in the area of nanotechnology, in particular nanomaterials, have opened new opportunities. Polymeric nanoparticles are particularly ...
The Insulin-Like Growth Factor System in the Long-Lived Naked Mole-Rat.
(2015-12-22)
Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) (NMRs) are the longest living rodents known. They show negligible senescence, and are resistant to cancers and certain damaging effects associated with aging. The insulin-like growth ...
Effects of Genotype and Sleep on Temperament.
(2015-07-16)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sleep problems are frequent in young children; however, children vary in the degree to which they are affected by poor sleep quality. We investigated whether a polymorphism in the serotonin ...
A new method to determine in vivo interactomes reveals binding of the Legionella pneumophila effector PieE to multiple rab GTPases.
(2014-08)
UNLABELLED: Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, uses the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS) to translocate more than 300 effectors into host cells, where they subvert host cell ...
Structural insight into host recognition by aggregative adherence fimbriae of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
(2014-09)
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a leading cause of acute and persistent diarrhea worldwide. A recently emerged Shiga-toxin-producing strain of EAEC resulted in significant mortality and morbidity due to ...
Acute hospital service utilization by inpatients in psychiatric hospitals.
(2015-11)
OBJECTIVE: Standardized mortality ratios are twice the population average in the year following a mental health admission, yet there is a relative paucity of research on uptake of general medical care in psychiatric ...
Phenotypic plasticity and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in the behaviour and therapeutic response of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
(2015-01)
It is increasingly recognised that phenotypic plasticity, apparently driven by epigenetic mechanisms, plays a key role in tumour behaviour and markedly influences the important processes of therapeutic survival and metastasis. ...
