Barriers and facilitators of medicines reconciliation at transitions of care in Ireland - a qualitative study
(2020)Background: Medication error at transitions of care is common. The implementation of medicines reconciliation processes to improve this issue has been recommended by many regulatory and safety organisations. The aim of ... -
Biocompatible copolymer formulations to treat glioblastoma multiforme.
(2021)The treatment for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has not changed for more than 20 years while the prognosis for the patients is still poor and most of them survive less than 1 year after diagnosis. The standard of care for ... -
Exploring the Irish National Folklore Ethnography Database (Dúchas) for Open Data Research on Traditional Medicine Use in Post-Famine Ireland: An Early Example of Citizen Science
(2020)A rich archive of oral and ethnological literature is housed in the National Folklore Collection, in University College Dublin, Ireland. The Schools' Manuscript Collection is one body of information that contains a wealth ... -
Extracellular vesicle separation from milk and infant milk formula using acid precipitation and ultracentrifugation
(2021)Separation of highly enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) fractions from milk is desirable for quantification, cargo analysis, functional characterization, and investigation as delivery vehicles for nutrients and/or ... -
Extracellular vesicles in blood: are they viable as diagnostic and predictive tools in breast cancer?
(2020)Extracellular vesicles (EVs), often described as mini-maps of their cells of origin, are found in the bloodstream and can be rich sources of cargo released from cancer cells. As such, they could be collected through minimally ... -
Extracellular vesicles report on the MET status of their cells of origin regardless of the method used for their isolation.
(2020)MET pathway is an important actionable target across many solid tumour types and several MET inhibitors have been developed. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are proposed to be mini-maps of their cells of origin. However, the ... -
Inhibiting extracellular vesicles formation and release: a review of EV inhibitors.
(2019)It is now becoming well established that vesicles are released from a broad range of cell types and are involved in cell-to-cell communication, both in physiological and pathological conditions. Once outside the cell, these ... -
A method of separating extracellular vesicles from blood shows potential clinical translation, and reveals extracellular vesicle cargo gremlin-1 as a diagnostic biomarker
(2022)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have potential as minimally invasive biomarkers. However, the methods most commonly used for EV retrieval rely on ultracentrifugation, are time-consuming, and unrealistic to translate to ... -
Neratinib-resistance and cross-resistance to other HER2-targeted drugs due to increased activity of metabolism enzyme cytochrome P4503A4
(2017)Background: Neratinib is in Phase 3 clinical trials but, unfortunately, the development of resistance is inevitable. Here, we investigated the effects of acquired neratinib resistance on cellular phenotype and the ... -
Pre-Clinical In Vitro Models Used in Cancer Research: Results of a Worldwide Survey
(2021)To develop and subsequently get cancer researchers to use organotypic three-dimensional (3D) models that can recapitulate the complexity of human in vivo tumors in an in vitro setting, it is important to establish what in ... -
Recommendations for In Vitro and In Vivo Testing of Magnetic Nanoparticle Hyperthermia Combined with Radiation Therapy.
(2018)Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-mediated hyperthermia (MH) coupled with radiation therapy (RT) is a novel approach that has the potential to overcome various practical difficulties encountered in cancer treatment. In this work, ... -
Targeting the noradrenergic system for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects: implications for Parkinson's disease.
(2018)Degeneration of the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system is thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), whereas pharmacological approaches to increase noradrenaline bioavailability may ... -
Traditional Chinese Medicine: From Aqueous Extracts to Therapeutic Formulae
(IntechOpen, 2019)Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the most established systems of medicine in the world. The therapeutic formulae used in TCM are frequently derived from aqueous decoctions of single plants or complex multicomponent ... -
Unintended discontinuation of medication following hospitalisation: a retrospective cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019)Objectives: Whether unintended discontinuation of common, evidence-based, long-term medication occurs after hospitalisation; what factors are associated with unintended discontinuation; and whether the presence of documentation ... -
Updating MISEV: Evolving the minimal requirements for studies of extracellular vesicles
(2021)The minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles (EVs, MISEV) is a field-consensus rigour initiative of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV). The last update to MISEV, MISEV2018, was ...
