We report a PCR survey of hantavirus infection in the extensive field vole (Microtus agrestis) populations occurring in the Kielder Forest, northern England. A Tatenale virus-like lineage was frequently detected (~ 15% prevalence) in liver tissue. Su... Read More about An endemic hantavirus in field voles in northern England.

Lysyl oxidase drives tumour progression by trapping EGF receptors at the cell surface (2017)
Journal Article
Tang, H., Leung, L., Saturno, G., Viros, A., Smith, D., Di Leva, G., …Marais, R. (2017). Lysyl oxidase drives tumour progression by trapping EGF receptors at the cell surface. Nature communications, 8, 14909. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14909

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) remodels the tumour microenvironment by cross-linking the extracellular matrix. LOX overexpression is associated with poor cancer outcomes. Here, we find that LOX regulates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to drive tumo... Read More about Lysyl oxidase drives tumour progression by trapping EGF receptors at the cell surface.

Electro-osmotic flow of couple stress fluids in a microchannel propagated by peristalsis (2017)
Journal Article
Tripathi, D., Yadav, A., & Beg, O. (2017). Electro-osmotic flow of couple stress fluids in a microchannel propagated by peristalsis. European Physical Journal Plus, 132(4:173), https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/i2017-11416-x

A mathematical model is developed for electro-osmotic peristaltic pumping of a non-Newtonian liquid in a deformable micro-channel. Stokes’ couple stress fluid model is deployed to represent realistic working liquids. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation fo...

Electro-magneto-hydrodynamic peristaltic pumping of couple stress biofluids through a complex wavy micro-channel (2017)
Journal Article
Tripathi, D., Jorar, R., Beg, O., & Kadir, A. (2017). Electro-magneto-hydrodynamic peristaltic pumping of couple stress biofluids through a complex wavy micro-channel. Journal of Molecular Liquids, 236, 358-367. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molliq.2017.04.037

Biomimetic propulsion mechanisms are increasingly being explored in engineering sciences. Peristalsis is one of the most efficient of these mechanisms and offers considerable promise in microscale fluidics. Electrokinetic peristalsis has recently al...

The money side of livelihoods: Economics of an unregulated small-scale Indonesian sea cucumber fishery in the Timor Sea (2017)
Journal Article
Prescott, J., Riwu, J., Prasetyo, A., & Stacey, N. (2017). The money side of livelihoods: Economics of an unregulated small-scale Indonesian sea cucumber fishery in the Timor Sea. Marine Policy, 82, 197-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2017.03.033

Fishers from several ethnic groups on islands in eastern Indonesia seasonally fish for sea cucumbers at Scott Reef in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone in the Timor Sea. Despite evidence suggesting that sea cucumbers are severely over-exploited fis...

Recently scholars have emphasised the importance of looking at the researcher's experience and how positionality, emotions and embodiment shape the ethnographic fieldwork process. Specifically, feminist contributions have shown how the professional a...
