Abstract This research aimed to analyse inclusive practice in academic integrity in the teaching, support, policies and procedures involved at one UK HE institution.Data was collected through two sets of stakeholder interviews: three students from disadvantaged groups who had experienced academic conduct investigations; eleven staff with key roles
Inhibition of UGT2B7 Enzyme Activity in Human and Rat Liver Microsomes by Herbal Constituents
The co-use of conventional drug and herbal medicines may lead to herb-drug interaction via modulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) by herbal constituents.UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyzing glucuronidation are the major metabolic enzymes of Phase II DMEs.The in vitro inhibitory effect of several herbal constituents on one of the m
Synergistic effects of coal waste derived humic substances and inorganic fertilizer as soil amendments for barley in sandy soil
Increasing pressures on land resources requires increased land use efficiency.Over 900 million ha of sandy soils throughout the world are extensively used for agricultural crop production, most requiring nutrient inputs.Although use of humic substances together with inorganic fertilizer as soil amendments has been introduced, their synergistic effe
Oxidative and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Represent Novel Therapeutic Targets for Choroideremia
Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare X-linked chorioretinal dystrophy, affecting the photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid, with no approved therapy.CHM is caused by mutations in the CHM gene, which encodes the ubiquitously expressed Rab escort protein 1 (REP1).REP1 is involved in prenylation, a post-translational modification of Ra
Identifying Pseudomonas syringae Type III Secreted Effector Function via a Yeast Genomic Screen
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject type III TOURIST secreted effectors (T3SEs) directly into host cells to promote pathogen fitness by manipulating host cellular processes.Despite their crucial role in promoting virulence, relatively few T3SEs have well-characterized enzymatic activities or host targets.This is in part due to functional redun
