Gene expression analysis of canonical Wnt pathway transcriptional regulators during early morphogenesis of the facial region in the mouse embryo
(University of Edinburgh (datashare), 2009)Structures and features of the face, throat and neck are formed from a series of branchial arches that grow out along the ventrolateral aspect of the embryonic head. Multiple signaling pathways have been implicated in ... -
Generalised linear models

Genetic influence on the kinetics and associated pathology of the early stage (intestinal-hepatic) migration of Ascaris suum in mice
(2010)The generative mechanism(s) of aggregation and predisposition to Ascaris lumbricoides and A. suum infections in their host population are currently unknown and difficult to elucidate in humans and pigs for ethical/logistical ... -
Geometric analysis of chondrogenic self-organisation of embryonic limb bud cells in micromass culture.
(Springer Nature, 2022)Spatial and temporal control of chondrogenesis generates precise, species-specific patterns of skeletal structures in the developing vertebrate limb. The pattern-template is laid down when mesenchymal cells at the core ... -
Goethean pedagogy A case in innovative science education and implications for work based learning
(2015)Purpose The purpose here is to highl ight the profound learning associated with the Goethean methodology in the Holistic Science MSc at Schumacher College, Devon, U.K. This is prese n t ed ... -
Host longevity and parasite species richness in mammals.
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Hosts and parasites co-evolve, with each lineage exerting selective pressures on the other. Thus, parasites may influence host life-history characteristics, such as longevity, and simultaneously host life-history may ... -
Identification of a high diversity of Cryptosporidium species, genotypes and subtypes in a Nigerian Pediatric Population
(2010)A longitudinal study was conducted to determine the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium in 1,636 children in Nigeria. Oocyst prevalence ranged from 15.6% to 19.6% over one year. Cryptosporidium hominis (34), C. parvum (25), ... -
Identification of Mechanosensitive Genes during Embryonic Bone Formation.
(2008)Although it is known that mechanical forces are needed for normal bone development, the current understanding of how biophysical stimuli are interpreted by and integrated with genetic regulatory mechanisms is limited. ... -
Identification of mechanosensitive genes during skeletal development: alteration of genes associated with cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell signalling pathways.
(University of Edinburgh (datashare), 2014) -
Identifying future zoonotic disease threats: Where are the gaps in our understanding of primate infectious diseases?
(2013)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emerging infectious diseases often originate in wildlife, making it important to identify infectious agents in wild populations. It is widely acknowledged that wild animals are incompletely ... -
Ignoring discards biases the assessment of fisheries' ecological fingerprint.
(2013)Understanding the pressures of fisheries on the ecosystem is crucial for effective management. Fishery removals, or catch, are composed of both landings and discards. However, the use of discards data in studies investigating ... -
The impact of host starvation on parasite development and population dynamics in an intestinal trypanosome parasite of bumble bees
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Host nutrition plays an important role in determining the development and success of parasitic infections. While studies of vertebrate hosts are accumulating, little is known about how host nutrition affects parasites of ... -
Impact of repeated four-monthly anthelmintic treatment on Plasmodium infection in preschool children: a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial
(2010)Background: Helminth infections can alter susceptibility to malaria. Studies need to determine whether or not deworming programs can impact on Plasmodium infections in preschool children. Methods: A double-blind ... -
Impacts of inbreeding on bumblebee colony fitness under field conditions
(BioMed Central, 2009)BACKGROUND: Inbreeding and the loss of genetic diversity are known to be significant threats to small, isolated populations. Hymenoptera represent a special case regarding the impact of inbreeding. Haplodiploidy may permit ... -
The importance of foetal movement for co-ordinated cartilage and bone development in utero : clinical consequences and potential for therapy.

The influence of inoculum size and time post-infection on the number and position of Toxocara canis larvae recovered from the brains of outbred CD1 mice
(2001)Outbred CD1 mice were administered doses of 1000 and 3000 Toxocara canis eggs and postmortem took place on days 7, 42 and 120 post-infection. Mice were killed by cervical dislocation and brains were sagitally bisected and ... -
The influence of mouse strain, infective dose and larval burden in the brain on activity in Toxocara-infected mice
(2001)Outbred LACA mice and inbred NIH mice were administered low (100 ova), medium (1000 ova), high (3000 ova) and trickle (4x250 ova) doses of Toxocara canis ova and the effect of infection on activity was examined with respect ... -
Integrated analysis of Wnt signalling system component gene expression
(2022)Wnt signalling controls patterning and differentiation across many tissues and organs of the developing embryo through temporally and spatially restricted expression of multi-gene families encoding ligands, receptors, ... -
Interaction of the CNC-bZIP factor TCF11/LCR-F1/Nrf1 with MafG: binding-site selection and regulation of transcription
(1998)We have previously shown that the widely expressed human transcription factor TCF11/LCR-F1/Nrf1 interacts with small Maf proteins and binds to a subclass of AP1-sites. Such sites are required for b-globin 54 DNase I ...
