A Human Skin Model Recapitulates Systemic Sclerosis Dermal Fibrosis and Identifies COL22A1 as a TGFβ Early Response Gene that Mediates Fibroblast to Myofibroblast Transition (2019)
Journal Article
Watanabe, T., Baker Frost, D., Mlakar, L., Heywood, J., da Silveira, W. A., Hardiman, G., & Feghali-Bostwick, C. (2019). A Human Skin Model Recapitulates Systemic Sclerosis Dermal Fibrosis and Identifies COL22A1 as a TGFβ Early Response Gene that Mediates Fibroblast to Myofibroblast Transition. Genes, 10(2), Article 75. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes10020075

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex multi-system autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and organ fibrosis. Skin fibrosis causes high morbidity and impaired quality of life in affected individuals. Animal models do...

Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings (2019)
Journal Article
Jankovic, L. (2019). Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings. Energy and Buildings, 186, 319-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2019.01.011

The article introduces the process of deep energy retrofit carried out on a residential building in the UK, using a ‘TCosy’ approach in which the existing building is completely surrounded by a new thermal envelope. It reports on the entire process,... Read More about Lessons learnt from design, off-site construction and performance analysis of deep energy retrofit of residential buildings.

Trace element uptake by herbaceous plants from the soils at a multiple trace element-contaminated site (2019)
Journal Article
Nworie, O., Qin, J., & Lin, C. (2019). Trace element uptake by herbaceous plants from the soils at a multiple trace element-contaminated site. Toxics, 7(1), 3. https://doi.org/10.3390/toxics7010003

The uptake of trace elements by wild herbaceous plants in a multiple trace element-contaminated site was investigated. The bioaccumulation factor (BF) of trace elements was markedly variable among the different plant species. On average, the BF for v...
