The Microbial Aetiology of Periodontal Diseases
(InTech, 2012)Introduction: The study of the aetiology of periodontal diseases has continued for decades with much progress shown in the last two decades. Having moved through periods of “whole” plaque (with emphasis on mass) being ... -
Microbiome enrichment from contaminated marine sediments unveils novel bacterial strains for petroleum hydrocarbon and heavy metal bioremediation
(Environmental Pollution, 2023)Petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals are some of the most widespread contaminants affecting marine ecosystems, urgently needing effective and sustainable remediation solutions. Microbial-based bioremediation is gaining ... -

Microplastic sources, formation, toxicity and remediation: A review
(Springer, 2023)Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent discovery of microplastics in most ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation, occurrence, toxicity and remediation methods of ... -
MicroRNA profile of Hermetia illucens (black soldier fly) and its implications on mass rearing
(PloS one, 2022)The growing demands on protein producers and the dwindling available resources have made Hermetia illucens (the black soldier fly, BSF) an economically important species. Insights into the genome of this insect will better ... -
MicroRNA-based regulation of Aurora A kinase in breast cancer
(Impact Journals, 2020)The involvement of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in cellular physiology and disease pathogenesis is becoming increasingly relevant in recent years specifically in cancer research. Breast cancer (BC) has become a health concern ... -
Microscopic, spectroscopic, and electrochemical characterization of novel semicrystalline poly(3-hexylthiophene)-based dendritic star copolymer
(MDPI, 2022)In this study, electron-donating semicrystalline generation 1 poly(propylene thiophenoimine)- co-poly(3-hexylthiophene) star copolymer, G1PPT-co-P3HT was chemically prepared for the first time. Copolymerization was ... -

Microstructurally-based constitutive modelling of the skin – Linking intrinsic ageing to microstructural parameters
(Elsevier, 2018)A multiphasic constitutive model of the skin that implicitly accounts for the process of intrinsic (i.e. chronological) ageing via variation of the constitutive parameters is proposed. The structurally-motivated constitutive ... -
Microtubular dysfunction and male infertility
(Korean Society for Sexual Medicine and Andrology, 2018)Microtubules are the prime component of the cytoskeleton along with microfilaments. Being vital for organelle transport and cellular divisions during spermatogenesis and sperm motility process, microtubules ascertain ... -
Microwave-assisted methods for the synthesis of pentacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9]undecylamines
(Elsevier, 2013)Efficient methodologies for the preparation of pentacyclo[5..4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9]undecane (PCU) amine derivatives are described via microwave-assisted synthesis. The obtained results revealed that microwave-assisted synthetic ... -
Microwave-assisted synthesis of schiff base metal–ligand complexes with copper and nickel centres for electrochemical in vitro sensing of nitric oxide in an aqueous solution
(MDPI, 2022)Nitric oxide (NO), the smallest signalling molecule known in the human body, keeps blood vessels dilated, controls blood pressure, and has numerous other health regulatory effects. The use of Schiff base complexes ... -
Mightee-h i: Possible interactions with the galaxy NGC 895
(Oxford University Press, 2023)The transformation and evolution of a galaxy is strongly influenced by interactions with its environment. Neutral hydrogen (H i) is an excellent way to trace these interactions. Here, we present H i observations of the ... -
MIGHTEE-H I: the first MeerKAT H I mass function from an untargeted interferometric survey
(Oxford University Press, 2023)We present the first measurement of the H I mass function (HIMF) using data from MeerKAT, based on 276 direct detections from the MeerKAT International GigaHertz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) Survey Early ... -
MIGHTEE-HI: discovery of an HI-rich galaxy group at z = 0.044 with MeerKAT
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021)We present the serendipitous discovery of a galaxy group in the XMM-LSS field with MIGHTEE Early Science observations. 20 galaxies are detected in HI in this z ∼ 0.044 group, with a 3σ column density sensitivity of NHI = ... -
Mightee-hi: Evolution of hi scaling relations of star-forming galaxies at z < 0.5*
(IOP Publishing, 2022)We present the first measurements of H I galaxy scaling relations from a blind survey at z > 0.15. We perform spectral stacking of 9023 spectra of star-forming galaxies undetected in H I at 0.23 < z < 0.49, extracted ... -
MIGHTEE-HI: The H » i emission project of the MeerKAT MIGHTEE survey
