UK Large-scale Wind Power Programme from 1970 to 1990: the Carmarthen Bay experiments and the Musgrove Vertical-Axis Turbines

, 2006
This article describes the development of the Musgrove Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) concept, the UK ‘Carmarthen Bay’ wind turbine test programme, and UK government’s wind power programme to 1990. One of the most significant developments in the story

Genomic variability of lipooligosaccharide biosynthesis locus and sequence type among Campylobacter jejuni isolated from patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome

Microbiology Spectrum
Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is a crucial component of the Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) cell membrane that mimics human gangliosides and can induce autoimmune neuropathies like Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Approximately one in 1,000 C.

THE AXIS OF ASTIGMATISM. [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1905
Twelve years ago 1 I presented some views on the axis of astigmatism. Those views consisted partly of propositions to be verified or denied by experience, partly of facts as developed in my practice. I set forth the initial proposition that the axis of astigmatism does not occur at haphazard, that there is a regularity in its occurrence in a given eye,

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Axis Screw Fixation – A Step-by-Step Review of the Surgical Techniques

Brazilian Neurosurgery, 2017
In this article, we present the techniques of axis screw fixation (laminar, pars, pedicle and transarticular screws), discussing the indications and contraindications of each one, as well as surgical tips and anatomical landmarks.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

PD-1/PD-L1 Axis Downregulation in Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Potential Mechanism Driving the Autoimmune Pathogenesis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive muscle weakness, is often triggered by Campylobacter jejuni infection. Molecular mimicry between C.

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.

Resistome phylodynamics of multidrug-resistant Shigella isolated from diarrheal patients

Microbiology Spectrum
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) in Shigella continues to pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Recent advances in genomics strengthen the surveillance of MDR-pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mediators ...

Wnt, Ptk7, and FGFRL expression gradients control trunk positional identity in planarian regeneration

eLife, 2016
Mechanisms enabling positional identity re-establishment are likely critical for tissue regeneration. Planarians use Wnt/beta-catenin signaling to polarize the termini of their anteroposterior axis, but little is known about how regeneration signaling ...
