Journal Article
Azevedo, P., Melo, R., & Young, R. (2011). Feeding and social behavior of the piabanha, Brycon devillei (Castelnau, 1855)(Characidae: Bryconinae) in the wild, with a note on following behavior. #Journal not on list, 9(4), https://doi.org/10.1590/S1679-62252011005000046

Knowledge concerning the behavior of wild freshwater fishes in Brazil is restricted to a few studies, despite such studies being able to answer fundamental questions about conservation. Species of Brycon are amongst the most threatened in the Neotrop...

Fluorescence lifetime imaging of E-combretastatin uptake and distribution in live mammalian cells (2011)
Journal Article
and distribution in live mammalian cells. European Journal of Cancer, 48(12), 1896-1903. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejca.2011.11.025

To investigate within live mammalian cells the uptake and disposition of combretastatins, fluorescence lifetime imaging was used with two-photon excitation (2PE). Combretastatin A4 (CA4) and analogues are potential anticancer drugs due to their abili...

An ultra fast detection method reveals strain-induced Ca2+ entry via TRPV2 in alveolar type II cells (2011)
Journal Article
Fois, G., Wittekindt, O., Zheng, X., Felder, E. T., Miklavc, P., Frick, M., …Felder, E. (2012). An ultra fast detection method reveals strain-induced Ca2+ entry via TRPV2 in alveolar type II cells. Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 11(7), 959-971. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10237-011-0365-4

A commonly used technique to investigate strain-induced responses of adherent cells is culturing them on an elastic membrane and globally stretching the membrane. However, it is virtually impossible to acquire microscopic images immediately after the...

YouTube as a repository : the creative practice of students as producers of Open Educational Resources (2011)
Journal Article
Keegan, H., & Bell, F. (2011). YouTube as a repository : the creative practice of students as producers of Open Educational Resources. EURODL, Sp. Is(3), 1-10

In this paper we present an alternative view of Open Educational Resources (OERs). Rather than focusing on open media resources produced by expert practitioners for use by peers and learners, we examine the practice of learners as active agents, prod...

Molecular basis of early epithelial response to streptococcal exotoxin: role of STIM1 and Orai1 proteins: Streptolysin O activates SOC entry (2011)
Journal Article
Usmani, S. M., von Einem, J., Frick, M., Miklavc, P., Mayenburg, M., Husmann, M., …Wittekindt, O. H. (2012). Molecular basis of early epithelial response to streptococcal exotoxin: role of STIM1 and Orai1 proteins: Streptolysin O activates SOC entry. Cellular Microbiology, 14(3), 299-315. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2011.01724.x

Streptolysin O (SLO) is a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin (CDC) from Streptococcus pyogenes. SLO induces diverse types of Ca2+ signalling in host cells which play a key role in membrane repair and cell fate determination. The mechanisms behind SLO-in...

Investigation of pulsed D.C magnetron sputtering for the component layers of CuInSe2 baseed solar cells (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Karthikeyan, S., Hill, A., & Pilkington, R. (2011, December). Investigation of pulsed D.C magnetron sputtering for the component layers of CuInSe2 baseed solar cells. Presented at Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 2011, Lancashire County Cricket Club, Manchester , UK

Pulsed D.C Magnetron Sputtering (PDMS) has been used to deposit the component layers required in the production of CuInSe2 (CIS), thin film solar cells. PDMS employs high plasma densities and is widely used for the reactive sputtering of dielectric...

In this work we report on the ability of Er/Yb co-doped NaYF4 nano-crystals and CdTe Quantum Dots as two-photon excited fluorescent nano-thermometers. The basic physical phenomena causing the thermal sensitivity of the two-photon excited emission ban... Read More about Fluorescent nano-particles for multi-photon thermal sensing.

Neuronal differentiation by TAp73 is mediated by microRNA-34a regulation of synaptic protein targets (2011)
Journal Article
Agostini, M., Tucci, P., Killick, R., Candi, E., & Sayan, B. (2011). Neuronal differentiation by TAp73 is mediated by microRNA-34a regulation of synaptic protein targets. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 108(52), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1112061109

The p53-family member TAp73 is a transcription factor that plays a key role in many biological processes. Here, we show that p73 drives the expression of microRNA (miR)-34a, but not miR-34b and -c, by acting on specific binding sites on the miR-34a p...
