A model invalidation-based approach for elucidating biological signalling pathways, applied to the chemotaxis pathway in R. sphaeroides.
(2009-10-31)BACKGROUND: Developing methods for understanding the connectivity of signalling pathways is a major challenge in biological research. For this purpose, mathematical models are routinely developed based on experimental ... -
Transferring clinical communication skills from the classroom to the clinical environment: perceptions of a group of medical students in the United kingdom.
(2010-06)PURPOSE: To better understand the transfer of classroom-learned clinical communication skills (CCS) to the clinical environment of the hospital ward, where they are practiced and refined by students. METHOD: The author ... -
Feedback control architecture and the bacterial chemotaxis network.
(2011-05)Bacteria move towards favourable and away from toxic environments by changing their swimming pattern. This response is regulated by the chemotaxis signalling pathway, which has an important feature: it uses feedback to ... -
Ryanodine receptors, a family of intracellular calcium ion channels, are expressed throughout early vertebrate development.
(2011-12-14)BACKGROUND: Calcium signals ([Ca2+]i) direct many aspects of embryo development but their regulation is not well characterised. Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are a family of intracellular Ca2+ release channels that control ... -
Heath beliefs of UK South Asians related to lifestyle diseases: a review of qualitative literature.
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)OBJECTIVE: To review available qualitative evidence in the literature for health beliefs and perceptions specific to UK South Asian adults. Exploring available insight into the social and cultural constructs underlying ... -
Bacterial cell identification in differential interference contrast microscopy images.
(2013-04-23)BACKGROUND: Microscopy image segmentation lays the foundation for shape analysis, motion tracking, and classification of biological objects. Despite its importance, automated segmentation remains challenging for several ... -
