The surface and surroundings of microalgal cells (phycosphere) are critical interaction zones but have been difficult to functionally interrogate due to methodological limitations. We examined effects of phycosphere-associated bacteria for two biofuel-relevant microalgal species (Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Nannochloropsis salina) using

A photoluminescent detection method for nitrite with high selectivity and sensitivity using carbon nanodots (CNDs) is demonstrated. The selectivity of nitrite is accomplished by a highly specific diazotization reaction between nitrite and p-phenylenediamine (p-PDA). In the presence of nitrite, p-PDA

Human breast carcinoma cells secrete an adenosine 5'-diphosphate transphosphorylase (sNDPK) known to induce endothelial cell tubulogenesis in a P2Y receptor-dependent manner. We examined sNDPK secretion and its effects on human endothelial cells. Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) secretion was measured by
The Anopheles gambiae gSG6 is an anopheline-specific salivary protein which helps female mosquitoes to efficiently feed on blood. Besides its role in haematophagy, gSG6 is immunogenic and elicits in exposed individuals an IgG response, which may be used as indicator
Hairdressers are one of the largest occupational groups attending our Occupational Dermatology Clinic. However, few seek workers' compensation for their occupational dermatitis. To retrospectively analyse and compare workers' compensation claims data and diagnosed disease data for occupational contact dermatitis in
