Human skin is exposed daily to environmental stressors, which cause acute damage and inflammation. Over time this leads to morphological and visual appearance changes associated with premature aging. Topical vitamin A derivatives such as retinol (ROL...

microRNA27a-3p mediates reduction of the Wnt antagonist sFRP-1 in systemic sclerosis (2020)
Journal Article
Henderson, J., Wilkinson, S., Przyborski, S., Stratton, R., & O’Reilly, S. (2021). microRNA27a-3p mediates reduction of the Wnt antagonist sFRP-1 in systemic sclerosis. Epigenetics, 16(7), 808-817. https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2020.1827715

Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that leads to skin and lung fibrosis. The Wnt pathway is clearly elevated in SSc and is pro-fibrotic via activation of canonical Wnt signalling. sFRP-1 is a Wnt antagonist that acts...

Accounting for Model Discrepancy in Uncertainty Analysis by Combining Numerical Simulation and Bayesian Emulation Techniques (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Formentin, H. N., Vernon, I., Goldstein, M., Caiado, C., Avansi, G., & Schiozer, D. (2020, September). Accounting for Model Discrepancy in Uncertainty Analysis by Combining Numerical Simulation and Bayesian Emulation Techniques. Presented at ECMOR XVII

Model discrepancy specifies unavoidable differences between a physical system and its corresponding computer model. Incomplete information, simplifications and lack of knowledge about the physical state originate model discrepancy. Misevaluation of m...
