Plasma mEV levels in Ghanain malaria patients with low parasitaemia are higher than those of healthy controls, raising the potential for parasite markers in mEVs as diagnostic targets (2019)
Journal Article
Antwi-Baffour, S., Malibha-Pinchbeck, M., Stratton, D., Jorfi, S., Lange, S., & Inal, J. (2020). Plasma mEV levels in Ghanain malaria patients with low parasitaemia are higher than those of healthy controls, raising the potential for parasite markers in mEVs as diagnostic targets. Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 9(1), Article 1697124. https://doi.org/10.1080/20013078.2019.1697124

This study sought to measure medium-sized extracellular vesicles (mEVs) in plasma, when patients have low Plasmodium falciparum early in infection. We aimed to define the relationship between plasma mEVs and: (i) parasitaemia, (ii) period from onset...

Lifelong exercise, but not short-term high-intensity interval training, increases GDF11, a marker of successful aging: a preliminary investigation (2017)
Journal Article
Elliott, B. T., Herbert, P., Sculthorpe, N., Grace, F. M., Stratton, D., & Hayes, L. D. (2017). Lifelong exercise, but not short-term high-intensity interval training, increases GDF11, a marker of successful aging: a preliminary investigation. Physiological Reports, 5(13), e13343. https://doi.org/10.14814/phy2.13343

Lifelong exercise is associated with regulation of skeletal mass and function, reductions in frailty, and successful aging. Yet, the influence of exercise on myostatin and myostatin-interacting factors is relatively under examined in older males. The...

Sigma-1 receptors modulate neonatal Nav1.5 ion channels in breast cancer cell lines (2016)
Journal Article
Aydar, E., Stratton, D., Fraser, S. P., Djamgoz, M. B., & Palmer, C. (2016). Sigma-1 receptors modulate neonatal Nav1.5 ion channels in breast cancer cell lines. European Biophysics Journal, 45(7), 671-683. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00249-016-1135-0

The main aim of this study was to investigate a possible functional connection between sigma-1 receptors and voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in human breast cancer cells. The hypothesis was that sigma-1 drugs could alter the metastatic properti... Read More about Sigma-1 receptors modulate neonatal Nav1.5 ion channels in breast cancer cell lines.

Inhibition of microvesiculation sensitizes prostate cancer cells to chemotherapy and reduces docetaxel dose required to limit tumor growth in vivo (2015)
Journal Article
Jorfi, S., Ansa-Addo, E. A., Kholia, S., Stratton, D., Valley, S., Lange, S., & Inal, J. (2015). Inhibition of microvesiculation sensitizes prostate cancer cells to chemotherapy and reduces docetaxel dose required to limit tumor growth in vivo. Scientific reports, 5(1), Article 13006. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep13006

Microvesicles shed from cells carry constituents of the cell cytoplasm, including, of importance in multidrug resistance to cancer chemotherapy, drugs that the tumor cell attempts to efflux. To see whether such drugs could be used at lower concentrat...
