MiRNAs as novel adipokines : obesity-related circulating MiRNAs influence chemosensitivity in cancer patients (2020)
Journal Article
Withers, S., Dewhurst, T., Hammond, C., & Topham, C. (2020). MiRNAs as novel adipokines : obesity-related circulating MiRNAs influence chemosensitivity in cancer patients. Non-Coding RNA, 6(1), e5. https://doi.org/10.3390/ncrna6010005

Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ, capable of regulating distant physiological processes in other tissues via the release of adipokines into the bloodstream. Recently, circulating adipose-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed as a novel cl...

Designing probiotic therapies with broad-spectrum activity against a wildlife pathogen (2020)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., Harrison, X., Sewell, T., & Fisher, M. (2020). Designing probiotic therapies with broad-spectrum activity against a wildlife pathogen. Frontiers in Microbiology, 10, 3134. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2019.03134

Host-associated microbes form an important component of immunity that protect
against infection by pathogens. Treating wild individuals with these protective microbes,
known as probiotics, can reduce rates of infection and disease in both wild and... Read More about Designing probiotic therapies with broad-spectrum activity against a wildlife pathogen.

Island rule and bone metabolism in fossil murines from Timor (2020)
Journal Article
Miszkiewicz, J., Louys, J., Beck, R., Mahoney, P., Aplin, K., & O’Connor, S. (2020). Island rule and bone metabolism in fossil murines from Timor. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 129(3), 570-586. https://doi.org/10.1093/biolinnean/blz197

Skeletal growth rates reconstructed from bone histology in extinct insular hippopotamids, elephants, bovids and
sauropods have been used to infer dwarfism as a response to island conditions. Limited published records of osteocyte
lacunae densities... Read More about Island rule and bone metabolism in fossil murines from Timor.

Metabolic adaptations to anoxia and reoxygenation: New lessons from freshwater turtles and crucian carp (2020)
Journal Article

As the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, oxygen is vital to produce ATP in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. In most vertebrates, the absence of oxygen (anoxia) quickly leads to an imbalance of ATP supply and demand and...

Transport's historical, contemporary and future role in shaping urban development : re-evaluating transit oriented development (2020)
Journal Article
Knowles, R., Ferbrache, F., & Nikitas, A. (2020). Transport's historical, contemporary and future role in shaping urban development : re-evaluating transit oriented development. Cities, 99, 102607. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2020.102607

This paper reviews transport's historical, contemporary and future role in shaping urban development since industrialisation. Previous definitions of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) starting in the late 20th century are challenged. Three distinct...

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the parasitic honey bee mite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata : Varroidae) (2020)
Journal Article
Harada, R., Yoshioka, M., Okuyama, H., Kato, M., Martin, S., & Takahashi, J. (2020). Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the parasitic honey bee mite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata : Varroidae). Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 5(1), 635-636. https://doi.org/10.1080/23802359.2019.1711219

Varroa destructor is a parasite mite of the eastern honey bee Apis cerana, which is native to Asia. The European honey bee Apis mellifera was imported to Asia from Europe and the USA for apiculture in the 19th century. In a short period of time, V. d...
