The black tufted-ear marmoset (Callithrix penicillata) is a small Neotropical primate, which lives in various types of environments from Cerrado (Brazilian savannah), Atlantic forest to urban areas. Research shows that food availability influences ho...

International Journal of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (Online), 3(2), 142-154. https://doi.org/10.7492/IJAEC.2014.012

Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit, especially in transport sector is appalling. This triggered the Lagos state government to start addressing its infrastructure deficit through PPPs. The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges at both deve...

Lipid metabolism and hormonal interactions: impact on cardiovascular disease and healthy aging (2014)
Journal Article

Populations in developed nations are aging gradually; it is predicted that by 2050 almost a quarter of the world’s population will be over 60 years old, more than twice the figure at the turn of the 20th century. Although we are living longer, this d... Read More about Lipid metabolism and hormonal interactions: impact on cardiovascular disease and healthy aging.

Tagging frogs with passive integrated transponders causes disruption of the cutaneous bacterial community and proliferation of opportunistic fungi (2014)
Journal Article

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 80(15), 4779-4784. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01175-14

Symbiotic bacterial communities play a key role in protecting amphibians from infectious diseases including chytridiomycosis,caused by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Events that lead to the disruption of the bacterial community...

It is demonstrated that a compact monolayer of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine adsorbed to a hanging mercury drop electrode can serve as a simple electrochemical model system to study biomembrane penetration by gold nanoparticles. The hydrog... Read More about Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury.

Evaluation of genetic association of the INK4 locus with primary open angle glaucoma in East Indian population (2014)
Journal Article
angle glaucoma in East Indian population. Scientific reports, 4, 5115. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep05115

INK4 locus at chromosome 9p21 has been reported to be associated with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and its subtypes along with the associated optic disc parameters across the populations of European, Japanese and African ancestries. The locus e... Read More about Evaluation of genetic association of the INK4 locus with primary open angle glaucoma in East Indian population.

Mechanisms of skeletal muscle ageing; avenues for therapeutic intervention (2014)
Journal Article

Age-related loss of muscle mass and function, termed sarcopenia, is a catastrophic process, which impacts severely on quality of life of older people. The mechanisms underlying sarcopenia are unclear and the development of optimal therapeutic interve... Read More about Mechanisms of skeletal muscle ageing; avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Long-term effects of stock transfers : synergistic introgression of allochthonous genomes in salmonids (2014)
Journal Article
Horreo, J., Machado-Schiaffino, G., Griffiths, A., Bright, D., Stevens, J., & Garcia-Vazquez, E. (2014). Long-term effects of stock transfers : synergistic introgression of allochthonous genomes in salmonids. Journal of Fish Biology, 85(2), 292-306. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.12424

The genus Salmo was employed as a model to study introgression of genes between species due to secondary contacts. Seven microsatellite loci, the LDH-C1* locus and the 5S ribosomal DNA were studied. Results showed the mutually enhanced introgression... Read More about Long-term effects of stock transfers : synergistic introgression of allochthonous genomes in salmonids.
