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...

YouTube as a repository : the creative practice of students as producers of Open Educational Resources (2011)
Journal Article

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...

Low load resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) can increase muscle size and strength, but the implications on the conduit artery are uncertain. We examined the effects of low-load dynamic handgrip training with and without BFR, and de... Read More about Brachial artery modifications to blood flow-restricted handgrip training and detraining.

Molecular basis of early epithelial response to streptococcal exotoxin: role of STIM1 and Orai1 proteins: Streptolysin O activates SOC entry (2011)
Journal Article

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...

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...

Much has been written on student attrition from healthcare programmes and we know that it is often multifactorial. However in order to reduce attrition we need to gain a greater understanding of how multiple factors impact upon and compound one anoth...

Journal Article
Wray, J. (2011). The limerick lullaby project: an intervention to relieve prenatal stress.(Research Unwrapped)

With the festive period looming I felt that the topic of this paper ‘singing lullabies’ resonated with the custom of singing at Christmas time but more than that the joy and peace of singing regardless of the festivity is far reaching. I am not a sin... Read More about The limerick lullaby project: an intervention to relieve prenatal stress.(Research Unwrapped).
