Journal Article
Jones, M. A., Hanison, J., Apreutesei, R., Allarakia, B., Namvar, S., Ramaswamy, D. S., …Nirmalan, N. (2023). Plasma interleukin responses as predictors of outcome stratification in patients after major trauma: a prospective observational two centre study. Frontiers in Immunology, 14, 1276171. https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2023.1276171

Background and objectives: There is a need to develop objective risk stratification tools to define efficient care pathways for trauma patients. Biomarker-based point of care testing may strengthen existing clinical tools currently available for this...

Functional molecules in mesothelial to mesenchymal transition revealed by transcriptome analyses (2018)
Journal Article
Namvar, S., Woolf, A., Zeef, L., Wilm, T., Wilm, B., & Herrick, S. (2018). Functional molecules in mesothelial to mesenchymal transition revealed by transcriptome analyses. Journal of Pathology, 245(4), 491-501. https://doi.org/10.1002/path.5101

Peritoneal fibrosis is a common complication of abdominal and pelvic surgery, and can also be triggered by peritoneal dialysis, resulting in treatment failure. In these settings, fibrosis is driven by activated myofibroblasts that are considered to b...

Dietary fat and corticosterone levels are contributing factors to meal anticipation (2016)
Journal Article
Namvar, S., Gyte, A., Denn, M., Leighton, B., & Piggins, H. (2016). Dietary fat and corticosterone levels are contributing factors to meal anticipation. American Journal of Physiology, 310(8), R711-R723. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpregu.00308.2015

Daily restricted access to food leads to the development of food anticipatory activity and metabolism, which depends upon an as yet unidentified food-entrainable oscillator(s). A premeal anticipatory peak in circulating hormones, including corticoste... Read More about Dietary fat and corticosterone levels are contributing factors to meal anticipation.

Aspergillus fumigatus proteases, Asp f 5 and Asp f 13, are essential for airway inflammation and remodelling in a murine inhalation model (2014)
Journal Article
Namvar, S., Warn, P., Farnell, E., Bromley, M., Fraczek, M., Bowyer, P., & Herrick, S. (2015). Aspergillus fumigatus proteases, Asp f 5 and Asp f 13, are essential for airway inflammation and remodelling in a murine inhalation model. Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 45(5), 982-993. https://doi.org/10.1111/cea.12426

BACKGROUND: In susceptible individuals, exposure to Aspergillus fumigatus can lead to the development of atopic lung diseases such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS). Protease allergen... Read More about Aspergillus fumigatus proteases, Asp f 5 and Asp f 13, are essential for airway inflammation and remodelling in a murine inhalation model.

A riot of rhythms : neuronal and glial circadian oscillators in the mediobasal hypothalamus (2009)
Journal Article
Guilding, C., Hughes, A., Brown, T., Namvar, S., & Piggins, H. (2009). A riot of rhythms : neuronal and glial circadian oscillators in the mediobasal hypothalamus. Molecular Brain, 2(28), https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-6606-2-28

Background: In mammals, the synchronized activity of cell autonomous clocks in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) enables this structure to function as the master circadian clock, coordinating daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. However, the domi... Read More about A riot of rhythms : neuronal and glial circadian oscillators in the mediobasal hypothalamus.
