Plasma proteomics provides better insight into severe childhood malaria
05 December 2012
Scientists at NIMR and in Ibadan, Nigeria have shown that an accurate definition of the major childhood malaria syndromes can be achieved using plasma proteome-patterns. The research is published in PLOS ONE.
Wingless, the main Drosophila Wnt, is loaded on exosomes
23 November 2012
NIMR researchers have shown that active Wingless is secreted on exosomes in Drosophila S2 cells, but exosomes do not contribute to Wingless gradient formation in wing imaginal discs. The research is published in Traffic.
Sequencing sheds new light on malaria parasites
13 November 2012
NIMR scientists have collaborated in a major genomic survey of malaria parasites. The research is published in PLOS Genetics.
Regulating an RNA switch for cellular differentiation
11 November 2012
Scientists at NIMR have dissected a molecular mechanism used to regulate the tumor suppressor let-7 microRNA. The research is published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
Transcription factor has key role in development of cortical interneurons
08 November 2012
NIMR scientists have shown that the genome organizer SATB1 has a key role in the development of cortical interneurons. The research is published in Cell Reports.
Sex chromosome conflict
30 October 2012
NIMR researchers and collaborators have demonstrated an intragenomic conflict between the X and Y chromosomes in mice.
A weakened immune system leads to retroviral awakening
25 October 2012
NIMR scientists have described previously unknown retroviruses in mice, and a potential link between infection and cancer. The research is published online in Nature.
NIMR research featured in MRC Annual Review 2011-12
03 October 2012
The work of three NIMR research groups is featured in the latest MRC Annual Review: Advancing medicine, changing lives.
Unique enzyme controls malaria parasite development - shape, movement and invasion
21 September 2012
A team of researchers at the Universities of Nottingham, Oxford, Edinburgh, Leicester, Imperial College, and at NIMR have discovered a unique protein phosphatase, PPKL that regulates malaria parasite development and invasion of mosquitoes, an essential stage for parasite transmission. The research is published in PLOS Pathogens.
A new animal model for SIDS
12 September 2012
Researchers at NIMR have developed a new mouse model for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The research is published in Disease Models and Mechanisms.
