Urine is a preferred specimen for nucleic acid-based detection of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) but represents a challenge for microfluidic devices due to low analyte concentrations. We present an extraction methodology enabling rapid on-chi...

Increased inducible heat shock protein 72 expression associated with PBMC isolated from patients with haematological tumours (2012)
Journal Article
Madden, L. A., Hayman, Y. A., Underwood, C., Vince, R. V., Greenman, J., Allsup, D., & Ali, S. (2012). Increased inducible heat shock protein 72 expression associated with PBMC isolated from patients with haematological tumours. Scandinavian journal of clinical & laboratory investigation, 72(5), 380-386. https://doi.org/10.3109/00365513.2012.681683

Background. Heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) is a highly inducible stress protein and molecular chaperone. Cancers have been shown to be associated with increased Hsp72 expression within the tumour itself and this may lead to resistance to apoptosis. Me...

Intraluminal thrombus has a selective influence on matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors (tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases) in the wall of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Annals of vascular surgery, 26(3), 322-329. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2011.08.015

BACKGROUND The influence of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) on the proteolytic environment within the wall of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is unknown. This is the first study to examine the correlation between ILT thickness and the levels of matrix...

A strategy for a fast (ca. 20 min), specific, electrochemical immunoassay for the cardiac biomarker creatine kinase (CK) and the human cytokine interleukin 10 (IL10) has been developed in this paper. The polyaniline modified gold surface formed from... Read More about Voltammetric Immunoassay for the Detection of Protein Biomarkers.
