• Acetylated microtubules are essential for touch sensation in mice 

  Morley, Shane J. (University College Cork, 2016)

  The sense of touch depends upon the transformation of mechanical energy into electrical signals by peripheral sensory neurons and associated cells in the skin. This conversion is thought to be mediated by a complex of ...
• Restoration of pharyngeal dilator muscle force in dystrophin-deficient (mdx) mice following co-treatment with neutralizing interleukin-6 receptor antibodies and urocortin-2 

  Rowland, Jane; Burns, David P.; Canavan, Leonie; Murphy, Kevin H.; Brannock, Molly; O'Malley, Dervla; O'Halloran, Ken D.; Edge, Deirdre (Wiley, 2017-08-06)

  New Findings: What is the central question of this study? We previously reported impaired upper airway dilator muscle function in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Our aim was to assess the effect ...
• Resistive breathing and respiratory muscle fatigue: a load of concern just expired! 

  O'Halloran, Ken D. (Wiley, 2017-08-10)
• An efficient and cost-effective method of generating postnatal (P2–5) mouse primary hippocampal neuronal cultures 

  Kaar, Aidan; Morley, Shane J.; Rae, Mark G. (Elsevier Ltd, 2017-05-22)

  Background: Primary culture of postnatal central neurons is a widely used methodology for applications such as the investigation of neuronal development, protein trafficking/distribution and cellular signalling. However, ...
• Combined xIL-6R and urocortin-2 treatment restores mdx diaphragm muscle force 

  Manning, Jennifer; Buckley, Maria M.; O'Halloran, Ken D.; O'Malley, Dervla (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017-05-29)

  Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration leading to immobility, respiratory failure, and premature death. As chronic inflammation and stress are implicated in DMD ...
