Dynamic Descriptions of Highly Flexible Molecules from NMR Dipolar Couplings: Physical Basis and Limitations.

Journal of the American Chemical Society

Salvi N, Salmon L, Blackledge M.
PMID: 28290683
J Am Chem Soc. 2017 Apr 12;139(14):5011-5014. doi: 10.1021/jacs.7b01566. Epub 2017 Mar 29.

Biomolecules that control physiological function by changing their conformation play key roles in biology and remain poorly characterized. NMR dipolar couplings (DCs) depend intrinsically on both molecular shape and structural fluctuations, thereby providing the enticing prospect of tracking these...

A target glitter study.

Science & justice : journal of the Forensic Science Society

Aardahl K, Kirkowski S, Blackledge RD.
PMID: 15739687
Sci Justice. 2005 Jan-Mar;45(1):7-12. doi: 10.1016/S1355-0306(05)71615-4.

A target study was conducted using four different pre-selected types of commercial glitter particles. Recipient areas in the general environment around San Diego, California were tested. Glitter particles were recovered using double-sided tape affixed to square plastic Petri dishes....

Hygroscopic compounds in spider aggregate glue remove interfacial water to maintain adhesion in humid conditions.

Nature communications

Singla S, Amarpuri G, Dhopatkar N, Blackledge TA, Dhinojwala A.
PMID: 29789602
Nat Commun. 2018 May 22;9(1):1890. doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-04263-z.

Adhesion in humid environments is fundamentally challenging because of the presence of interfacial bound water. Spiders often hunt in wet habitats and overcome this challenge using sticky aggregate glue droplets whose adhesion is resistant to interfacial failure under humid...

Automatic Segmentation of Pelvic Cancers Using Deep Learning: State-of-the-Art Approaches and Challenges.

Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland)

Kalantar R, Lin G, Winfield JM, Messiou C, Lalondrelle S, Blackledge MD, Koh DM.
PMID: 34829310
Diagnostics (Basel). 2021 Oct 22;11(11). doi: 10.3390/diagnostics11111964.

The recent rise of deep learning (DL) and its promising capabilities in capturing non-explicit detail from large datasets have attracted substantial research attention in the field of medical image processing. DL provides grounds for technological development of computer-aided diagnosis...

Intrinsically Disordered Tardigrade Proteins Self-Assemble into Fibrous Gels in Response to Environmental Stress.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)

Malki A, Teulon JM, Camacho-Zarco AR, Chen SW, Adamski W, Maurin D, Salvi N, Pellequer JL, Blackledge M.
PMID: 34750927
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2022 Jan 03;61(1):e202109961. doi: 10.1002/anie.202109961. Epub 2021 Nov 25.

Tardigrades are remarkable for their ability to survive harsh stress conditions as diverse as extreme temperature and desiccation. The molecular mechanisms that confer this unusual resistance to physical stress remain unknown. Recently, tardigrade-unique intrinsically disordered proteins have been shown...

Evaluation of small molecule kinase inhibitors as novel antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents.

Chemical biology & drug design

King A, Blackledge MS.
PMID: 34581492
Chem Biol Drug Des. 2021 Dec;98(6):1038-1064. doi: 10.1111/cbdd.13962. Epub 2021 Oct 04.

Antibiotic resistance is a global and pressing concern. Our current therapeutic arsenal is increasingly limited as bacteria are developing resistance at a rate that far outpaces our ability to create new treatments. Novel approaches to treating and curing bacterial...

Noise-Corrected, Exponentially Weighted, Diffusion-Weighted MRI (niceDWI) Improves Image Signal Uniformity in Whole-Body Imaging of Metastatic Prostate Cancer.

Anti-EGF receptor therapy.

Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases

Blackledge G, Averbuch S, Kay A, Barton J.
PMID: 12497082
Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2000 Dec;3(4):296-302. doi: 10.1038/sj.pcan.4500488.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling pathway contributes to a number of processes important to tumour progression, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastatic spread. EGFR signalling is thought to be an important cell survival mechanism in hormone-resistant...
