Design of Photosensitizing Agents for Targeted Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy.
(2020-11-10)Photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms has gained substantial attention due to its unique mode of action, in which pathogens are unable to generate resistance, and due to the fact that it can be applied in a minimally ... -
Dessins d’enfants, Seiberg-Witten curves and conformal blocks
(2021-05-01)We show how to map Grothendieck’s dessins d’enfants to algebraic curves as Seiberg-Witten curves, then use the mirror map and the AGT map to obtain the corresponding 4d N = 2 supersymmetric instanton partition functions ... -
Development and validation of the highly sensitive child interview for the assessment of environmental sensitivity in primary school children
(Elsevier BV, 2024-02-22)Around a third of children perceive and process their environment more deeply and are more impacted by its quality. To obtain a more comprehensive and objective measure of this Environmental Sensitivity (ES) in primary ... -
Difficulty accessing condoms because of the COVID-19 pandemic reported by gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the UK: findings from a large, cross-sectional, online survey.
(Sage Publications, 2023-03-21)BACKGROUND: COVID-19 restrictions severely reduced face-to-face sexual health services, an important access point for condoms. We examine whether gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the UK had ... -
Direct biological fixation provides a freshwater sink for N2O.
(Nature Research, 2023-10-25)Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent climate gas, with its strong warming potential and ozone-depleting properties both focusing research on N2O sources. Although a sink for N2O through biological fixation has been observed in ... -
Discovery of a polymer resistant to bacterial biofilm, swarming, and encrustation
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2023-01-25)Innovative approaches to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are urgently required. Here, we describe the discovery of an acrylate copolymer capable of resisting single- and multispecies bacterial ... -
Distinct, dosage-sensitive requirements for the autism-associated factor CHD8 during cortical development.
(2021-02-24)BACKGROUND: CHD8 haploinsufficiency causes autism and macrocephaly with high penetrance in the human population. Chd8 heterozygous mice exhibit relatively subtle brain overgrowth and little gene expression changes in the ... -
Does the definition of a novel environment affect the ability to detect cryptic genetic variation?
(2023-11)Anthropogenic change exposes populations to environments that have been rare or entirely absent from their evolutionary past. Such novel environments are hypothesized to release cryptic genetic variation, a hidden store ... -
Dopant clustering and vacancy ordering in neodymium doped ceria
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2024-03-07)Lanthanide doped cerias, show fast oxide ion conduction and have applications as electrolytes in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. Here, we examine the long- and short-range structures of Ce1−xNdxO2−x/2 (0.05 ... -
Dyeing fungi: amphotericin B based fluorescent probes for multiplexed imaging.
(2021-02-23)The clinically used antifungal polyene amphotericin B was conjugated, via the mycosamine and the aglycon moieties, to fluorophores. The Cy5 conjugated probe showed selective labelling of fungi in the presence of bacteria, ... -
