The Toxoplasma micropore mediates endocytosis for selective nutrient salvage from host cell compartments (2023)
Journal Article

Apicomplexan parasite growth and replication relies on nutrient acquisition from host cells, in which intracellular multiplication occurs, yet the mechanisms that underlie the nutrient salvage remain elusive. Numerous ultrastructural studies have doc... Read More about The Toxoplasma micropore mediates endocytosis for selective nutrient salvage from host cell compartments.

Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review (2023)
Journal Article
Grindrod, I., & Martin, S. (2023). Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review. Apidologie, 54, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13592-022-00977-8

Varroa is a major world-wide pest to Western honey bees (Apis mellifera), causing huge ongoing losses of colonies every year. Conversely, the Eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) is less vulnerable to the mite having existed alongside it over a long evolu... Read More about Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review.

Passive tracer transport in peristaltic pumping of non-Newtonian blood flow: A mathematical model (2023)
Journal Article
Beg, O., & Roy, A. K. (2023). Passive tracer transport in peristaltic pumping of non-Newtonian blood flow: A mathematical model. International Journal of Modern Physics B, 37(30), https://doi.org/10.1142/s0217979223502624

The large time behavior of passive contaminant in non-Newtonian peristaltic blood flow in a two-dimensional (2D) channel (capillary) has been examined in this paper. The power-law model is employed in order to highlight the non-Newtonian blood charac...

Whole exome sequencing reveals novel candidate genes in familial forms of Glaucomatous Neurodegeneration (2023)
Journal Article

Glaucoma is the largest cause of irreversible blindness with a multifactorial genetic etiology. This study explores novel genes and gene networks in familial forms of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) to ide...

Ovarian cycle, reproductive performance and breeding seasonality of Amazonian yellow-footed tortoises (Chelonoidis denticulatus) in the wild (2023)
Journal Article

Studies of the reproductive functional morphology of chelonians are important to understand the reproductive physiology, anatomy, and endocrinology of these species. However, data on the reproduction of this group have been difficult to obtain becaus...

First Characterization of the Transcriptome of Lung Fibroblasts of SSc Patients and Healthy Donors of African Ancestry (2023)
Journal Article
Renaud, L., Waldrep, K. M., da Silveira, W. A., Pilewski, J. M., & Feghali-Bostwick, C. A. (in press). First Characterization of the Transcriptome of Lung Fibroblasts of SSc Patients and Healthy Donors of African Ancestry. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 24(4), 3645. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms24043645

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disorder that results in fibrosis of the skin and visceral organs. SSc-associated pulmonary fibrosis (SSc-PF) is the leading cause of death amongst SSc patients. Racial disparity is noted in SSc as Afri...

Electrochemical detection of asparaginase antibodies using bifunctionalized carbon interfaces (2023)
Journal Article
Marshall, D., & Lehr, J. (in press). Electrochemical detection of asparaginase antibodies using bifunctionalized carbon interfaces. Electroanalysis, https://doi.org/10.1002/elan.202200456

The early detection of anti-asparaginase biomarker can facilitate timely modification of asparaginase chemotherapy, thereby avoiding serious complications. Herein we describe the preparation of a novel electrochemical biosensing interface for rapid d...

Current status of cystic echinococcosis control in the Falkland Islands: has elimination been achieved? (2023)
Journal Article

Attempts to control cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus in the Falkland Islands have been ongoing for over 50 years. No human cases have been recorded since the 1980s but there is a need to establish if the parasite has been...
