Airborne particle exposure and extrinsic skin aging (Publications)
For decades, extrinsic skin aging has been known to result from chronic exposure to solar radiation and, more recently, to tobacco smoke. In this study, we have assessed the influence of air pollution
Spiro- and dispiro-1,2-dioxolanes: contribution of iron(II)-mediated one-electron vs two-electron reduction to the activity of antimalarial peroxides (Publications)
Fourteen spiro- and dispiro-1,2-dioxolanes were synthesized by peroxycarbenium ion annulations with alkenes in yields ranging from 30% to 94%. Peroxycarbenium ion precursors included triethylsilyldipe
Muscle fibre recruitment can respond to the mechanics of the muscle contraction (Publications)
This study investigates the motor unit recruitment patterns between and within muscles of the triceps surae during cycling on a stationary ergometer at a range of pedal speeds and resistances. Muscle
A <em>var</em> gene promoter controls allelic exclusion of virulence genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
Mono-allelic expression of gene families is used by many organisms to mediate phenotypic variation of surface proteins. In the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum, responsible for the severe f
Cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>: PfPDEalpha, a non-essential cGMP-specific PDE that is an integral... (Publications)
Cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) have come into focus as interesting potential targets for PDE inhibitor-based anti-parasitic drugs. Genomes of the various agents of human malaria,
Relationship between gender role, anger expression, thermal discomfort and sleep onset latency in women (Publications)
Background: Women with thermal discomfort from cold extremities (hands and feet; TDCE) often suffer from prolonged sleep onset latency (SOL). Suppressed anger could contribute to the genesis of both T
