First-in-class candidate therapeutics that target mitochondria and effectively prevent cancer cell metastasis : mitoriboscins and TPP compounds (2020)
Journal Article
Ozsvari, B., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2020). First-in-class candidate therapeutics that target mitochondria and effectively prevent cancer cell metastasis : mitoriboscins and TPP compounds. Aging, 12(11), 10162-10179. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.103336

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been proposed to be responsible for tumor recurrence, distant metastasis and drug-resistance, in the vast majority of cancer patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new drugs that can target and eradicat...

Loss of PKCα increases arterial medial calcification in a uremic mouse model of chronic kidney disease (2020)
Preprint / Working Paper

Arterial medial calcification is an independent risk factor for mortality in chronic kidney disease. We previously reported that knock-down of PKCα expression increases high phosphate-induced mineral deposition by vascular smooth muscle cells in vitr...

Stewardship of the rural: Conceptualising the experiences of rural volunteering in later life (2020)
Journal Article
Yarker, S., Heley, J., & Jones, L. (2020). Stewardship of the rural: Conceptualising the experiences of rural volunteering in later life. Journal of Rural Studies, 76, 184-192. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrurstud.2020.04.011

The figure of the older volunteer involved with the civil society of rural communities is written onto by the dual demands to age well and productively; to benefit themselves but also to be a good citizen and to contribute to their communities and to...

A comparative study of optimal energy management strategies for energy storage with stochastic loads (2020)
Journal Article
Alasali, F., Haben, S., Foudeh, H., & Holderbaum, W. (2020). A comparative study of optimal energy management strategies for energy storage with stochastic loads. Energies, 13(10), 2596. https://doi.org/10.3390/en13102596

This paper aims to present the significance of predicting stochastic loads to improve the performance of a low voltage (LV) network with an energy storage system (ESS) by employing several optimal energy controllers. Considering the highly stochastic... Read More about A comparative study of optimal energy management strategies for energy storage with stochastic loads.

Mitigating large vibrations of stayed cables in wind and rain hazards (2020)
Journal Article
Vo-Duy, H., & Nguyen, C. (2020). Mitigating large vibrations of stayed cables in wind and rain hazards. Shock and Vibration, 2020, 5845712. https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/5845712

This paper presents an experimental investigation of stayed cable vibrations in dry-wind and rain-wind coupling hazards. To mitigate large vibrations of the cable, the use of spiral wires wrapped around the cable is proposed. By testing two cable mod...

A novel techno-economic multi-level optimization in home-microgrids with coalition formation capability (2020)
Journal Article
Ganjehlou, H., Niaei, H., Jafari, A., Aroko, D., Marzband, M., & Fernando, T. (2020). A novel techno-economic multi-level optimization in home-microgrids with coalition formation capability. Sustainable Cities and Society, 60, 102241. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2020.102241

In recent years, microgrids (MG's) have operated in the power systems for various reasons such as reduction of energy losses, improvement of voltage stability and grid reliability. The implementation of Home Microgrid (H-MG) has proven successful in... Read More about A novel techno-economic multi-level optimization in home-microgrids with coalition formation capability.

Helping decisions and kin recognition in long-tailed tits: is call similarity used to direct help towards kin? (2020)
Journal Article
Leedale, A., Lachlan, R., Robinson, E., & Hatchwell, B. (2020). Helping decisions and kin recognition in long-tailed tits: is call similarity used to direct help towards kin?. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 375(1802), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2019.0565

Most cooperative breeders live in discrete family groups, but in a minority, breeding populations comprise extended social networks of conspecifics that vary in relatedness. Selection for effective kin recognition may be expected for more related ind...

Visual pigment evolution in Characiformes: The dynamic interplay of teleost whole‐genome duplication, surviving opsins and spectral tuning (2020)
Journal Article
Escobar‐Camacho, D., Carleton, K., Narain, D., & Pierotti, M. (2020). Visual pigment evolution in Characiformes: The dynamic interplay of teleost whole‐genome duplication, surviving opsins and spectral tuning. Molecular Ecology, 29(12), 2234-2253. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.15474

Vision represents an excellent model for studying adaptation, given the genotype-to-phenotype map that has been characterized in a number of taxa. Fish possess a diverse range of visual sensitivities and adaptations to underwater light, making them a...
