Clonal expansion of early to mid-life mitochondrial DNA point mutations drives mitochondrial dysfunction during human ageing
(PLoS, 2014)Age-related decline in the integrity of mitochondria is an important contributor to the human ageing process. In a number of ageing stem cell populations, this decline in mitochondrial function is due to clonal expansion ... -
Cloning of the cnr operon into a strain of Bacillaceae bacterium for the development of a suitable biosorbent
(Springer, 2016)In this study, a potential microbial biosorbent was engineered to improve its capacity to remediate heavy metal contaminated water resources. A Bacillaceae bacterium isolated from a mining area was transformed with ... -
The close pair fraction of BCGs since z = 0.5: major mergers dominate recent BCG stellar mass growth
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)Using the redMaPPer (red-sequence Matched-filter Probabilistic Percolation) cluster catalogue based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry, we investigate the importance of major mergers in the stellar mass ... -
