Allosteric modulation of Beta1 Integrin function induces lung tissue repair
(2012) - Journal articleThe cellular cytoskeleton, adhesion receptors, extracellular matrix composition, and their spatial distribution are together fundamental in a cell's balanced mechanical sensing of its environment. We show that, in lung ... -
Structural and functional studies of histidine-rich glycoprotein in relation to its roles in angiogenesis and coagulation
(University of St Andrews, 2014-12-01) - ThesisHistidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) is a plasma protein that regulates key cardiovascular processes such as coagulation, angiogenesis and immune response. The protein consists of six distinct functional domains: two N-terminal ... -
Aquaporin 4 is a ubiquitously expressed isoform in the dogfish (Squalus acanthias) shark
(2012-01-10) - Journal articleThe dogfish ortholog of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was amplified from cDNA using degenerate PCR followed by cloning and sequencing. The complete coding region was then obtained using 5′ and 3′ RACE techniques. Alignment of the ... -
Expression and localization of Aquaporin 1a in the sea-bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) during ontogeny
(2011-07-12) - Journal articleThe successful establishment of a species in a given habitat depends on the ability of each of its developing stages to adapt to the environment. In order to understand this process we have studied the adaptation of a ... -
Numerical investigation of passive optical sorting of plasmon nanoparticles
(2011-07-06) - Journal articleWe explore the passive optical sorting of plasmon nanoparticles and investigate the optimal wavelength and optimal beam shape of incident field. The condition for optimal wavelength is found by maximising the nanoparticle ...
