Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness (2009)
Journal Article
Hide, G., & Tait, A. (2009). Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness. Parasitology, 136(12), 1491-500. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182009990333

Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically g...

T cell-based immunotherapy of metastatic renal cell carcinoma: modest success and future perspective. (2009)
Journal Article
Shablak, A., Hawkins, R., Rothwell, D., & Elkord, E. (2009). T cell-based immunotherapy of metastatic renal cell carcinoma: modest success and future perspective. Clinical Cancer Research, 15(21), 6503-6510. https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-09-1605

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) remains a challenging malignancy to treat. Cancer immunotherapies have been extensively explored in melanoma and RCC as they poorly respond to conventional cytotoxic agents but show responses to a variety of imm...

Immune evasion mechanisms in colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients vaccinated with TroVax (MVA-5T4) (2009)
Journal Article
Elkord, E., Dangoor, A., Burt, D., & Southgate, T. (2009). Immune evasion mechanisms in colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients vaccinated with TroVax (MVA-5T4). Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 58(10), 1657-1667. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00262-009-0674-y

We have recently reported the results of a phase II trial in which two TroVax [modified vaccinia ankara (MVA) encoding the tumour antigen 5T4] vaccinations were given to patients both pre- and post-surgical resection of liver metastases secondary to...

Effect of boundary slip on the acoustical properties of microfibrous materials (2009)
Journal Article
Umnova, O., Tsiklauri, D., & Venegas Castillo, R. (2009). Effect of boundary slip on the acoustical properties of microfibrous materials. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 126(4), 1850-1861. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3204087

A variety of new porous materials with unusually small pores have been manufactured in the past decades. To predict their acoustical properties, the conventional models need to be modified. When pore size becomes comparable to the molecular mean free... Read More about Effect of boundary slip on the acoustical properties of microfibrous materials.

Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female (2009)
Journal Article
Isaac, R., Li, C., Leedale, A., & Shirras, A. (2009). Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 277(1678), 65-70. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2009.1236

Quiescence, or a sleep-like state, is a common and important feature of the daily lives of animals from both invertebrate and vertebrate taxa, suggesting that sleep appeared early in animal evolution. Recently, Drosophila melanogaster has been shown... Read More about Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female.

Mapping individual variation in male mating preference space: Multiple choice in a color polymorphic cichlid fish (2009)
Journal Article
Pierotti, M. E., Martín-Fernández, J. A., & Seehausen, O. (2009). Mapping individual variation in male mating preference space: Multiple choice in a color polymorphic cichlid fish. Evolution, 63(9), 2372–2388. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1558-5646.2009.00716.x

Sexual selection theory largely rests on the assumption that populations contain individual variation in mating preferences and that individuals are consistent in their preferences. However, there are few empirical studies of within-population variat...
