Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development (2025)
Journal Article
Feugere, L., Silva De Freitas, C., Bates, A., Storey, K. B., Beltran-Alvarez, P., & Wollenberg Valero, K. C. (2025). Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development. FEBS Letters, https://doi.org/10.1002/1873-3468.70047

Since stress can be transmitted to congeners via social metabolites, it is paramount to understand how the social context of abiotic stress influences aquatic organisms' responses to global changes. Here, we integrated the transcriptomic and phenotyp... Read More about Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development.

Simulated heat waves affect cell fate and fitness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum (2025)
Journal Article
Rivero Crespo, F., Wollenberg-Valero, K., & Banu, S. (2025). Simulated heat waves affect cell fate and fitness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. Microbial Ecology, 88, Article 21. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00248-025-02519-y

The effects of heatwaves at organism and population levels have been widely investigated; however, little is known about how they affect the development of cell populations and the fitness of the resulting organism. Disruptions caused by heatwaves ar... Read More about Simulated heat waves affect cell fate and fitness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.

An investigation into the TRPV1-CGRP signalling pathway in vessel development (2024)
Thesis
Bates, A. An investigation into the TRPV1-CGRP signalling pathway in vessel development. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4865918

TRPV1 is a non-selective cation channel which is activated through various different factors including, but not limited to, raised temperature and acidic pH. It has been linked in the past to endothelial cell proliferation in acidic conditions, but a... Read More about An investigation into the TRPV1-CGRP signalling pathway in vessel development.

Investigating the effects of arginine methylation inhibitors on microdissected brain tumour biopsies maintained in a miniaturised perfusion system (2023)
Journal Article
Barry, A., Samuel, S. F., Hosni, I., Moursi, A., Feugere, L., Sennett, C. J., Deepak, S., Achawal, S., Rajaraman, C., Iles, A., Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Scott, I. S., Green, V., Stead, L. F., Greenman, J., Wade, M. A., & Beltran-Alvarez, P. (2023). Investigating the effects of arginine methylation inhibitors on microdissected brain tumour biopsies maintained in a miniaturised perfusion system. Lab on a chip, 23(11), 2664-2682. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3lc00204g

Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that consists of the transfer of one or two methyl (CH3) groups to arginine residues in proteins. Several types of arginine methylation occur, namely monomethylation, symmetric dimethylation a...

The language of abiotic stress in aquatic animals : molecular characterisation of stress metabolite-mediated stress communication (2022)
Thesis
Feugère, L. The language of abiotic stress in aquatic animals : molecular characterisation of stress metabolite-mediated stress communication. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4311814

It is well established that aquatic animals inform their neighbours of predation risk through chemical cues. In this thesis, I tested the hypothesis that stress propagation is a widespread mechanism also activated by abiotic stressors – such as those...

Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates (2021)
Journal Article
Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Garcia-Porta, J., Irisarri, I., Feugere, L., Bates, A., Kirchhof, S., Jovanovic Glavas, O., Pafilis, P., Samuel, S. F., Müller, J., Vences, M., Turner, A. P., Beltran-Alvarez, P., & Storey, K. B. (in press). Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates. The journal of animal ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13617

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation to different abiotic environments is important in the context of climate change and resulting short-term environmental fluctuations. Using functional and comparative genomics approaches, we here investiga... Read More about Functional genomics of abiotic environmental adaptation in lacertid lizards and other vertebrates.

Thermal stress induces a positive phenotypic and molecular feedback loop in zebrafish embryos (2021)
Journal Article
Feugere, L., Wollenberg Valero, K. C., Scott, V., Rodriguez-Barucg, Q., & Beltran-Alvarez, P. (2021). Thermal stress induces a positive phenotypic and molecular feedback loop in zebrafish embryos. Journal of Thermal Biology, 102, Article 103114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.103114

Aquatic organisms must cope with both rising and rapidly changing temperatures. These thermal changes can affect numerous traits, from molecular to ecological scales. Biotic stressors are already known to induce the release of chemical cues which tri... Read More about Thermal stress induces a positive phenotypic and molecular feedback loop in zebrafish embryos.
