Pre-training in a radial arm maze abolished anxiety and impaired habituation in C57BL6/J mice treated with dizocilpine (2016)
Journal Article
Abuhamdah, R., Hussain, M., Chazot, P., & Ennaceur, A. (2016). Pre-training in a radial arm maze abolished anxiety and impaired habituation in C57BL6/J mice treated with dizocilpine. Physiology & Behavior, 164(Part A), 353-360. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2016.06.017

Familiarity can imply a reduction of fear and anxiety, which may render learning and memory performance insensitive to NMDA receptor antagonism. Our previous study indicates that MK-801 (dizocilpine), NMDA antagonist, increased anxiety and prevented...

Sub-nanometre mapping of the aquaporin-water interface with multifrequency atomic force microscopy (2016)
Journal Article
Ricci, M., Quinlan, R., & Voïtchovsky, K. (2017). Sub-nanometre mapping of the aquaporin-water interface with multifrequency atomic force microscopy. Soft Matter, 13(1), 187-195. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6sm00751a

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that regulate the transport of water and small molecules in and out of the cell. In eye lens tissue, circulation of water, ions and metabolites is ensured by a microcirculation system in which aquaporin-0 (AQ...

Structural basis of thiol-based regulation of formaldehyde detoxification in H. influenzae by a MerR regulator with no sensor region (2016)
Journal Article
Couñago, R. M., Chen, N. H., Chang, C., Djoko, K. Y., McEwan, A. G., & Kobe, B. (2016). Structural basis of thiol-based regulation of formaldehyde detoxification in H. influenzae by a MerR regulator with no sensor region. Nucleic Acids Research, 44(14), 6981-6993. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkw543

Pathogenic bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, a major cause of lower respiratory tract diseases, must cope with a range of electrophiles generated in the host or by endogenous metabolism. Formaldehyde is one such compound that can irreversibly...

Not just for adults! Evaluating the performance of multiple fish passage designs at low-head barriers for the upstream movement of juvenile and adult trout Salmo trutta (2016)
Journal Article
Forty, M., Spees, J., & Lucas, M. (2016). Not just for adults! Evaluating the performance of multiple fish passage designs at low-head barriers for the upstream movement of juvenile and adult trout Salmo trutta. Ecological Engineering, 94, 214-224. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2016.05.048

Longitudinal connectivity in salmonid streams is vital for juvenile as well as adult fish, yet most upstream passage studies consider only larger adults. Upstream passage of juvenile and adult brown trout Salmo trutta at low-head (<3 m) structures on...

Population differentiation in the context of Holocene climate change for a migratory marine species, the southern elephant seal (2016)
Journal Article
Corrigan, L., Fabiani, A., Chauke, L., McMahon, C., de Bruyn, M., Bester, M., …Hoelzel, A. (2016). Population differentiation in the context of Holocene climate change for a migratory marine species, the southern elephant seal. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 29(9), 1667-1679. https://doi.org/10.1111/jeb.12870

Understanding observed patterns of connectivity requires an understanding of the evolutionary processes that determine genetic structure among populations, with the most common models being associated with isolation by distance, allopatry or vicarian...

Journal Article
Pinder, M., Conteh, L., Jeffries, D., Jones, C., Knudsen, J., Kandeh, B., …Lindsay, S. (2016). The RooPfs study to assess whether improved housing provides additional protection against clinical malaria over current best practice in The Gambia: study protocol for a randomized controlled study and ancillary studies. Trials, 17(1), Article 275. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-016-1400-7

Background In malaria-endemic areas, residents of modern houses have less malaria than those living in traditional houses. This study will determine if modern housing provides incremental protection against clinical malaria over the current best prac...

Iridium-based metal complexes containing polypyridyl-pyrazine ligands show properties of DNA intercalation. They serve as roadblocks to DNA polymerase activity, thereby inhibiting the polymerization process. Upon the addition of increasing concentrat...
