• Antibacterial Ti-Mn-Cu alloys for biomedical applications 

  Alqattan, Mohammad; Peters, Linda M.; Alshammari, Yousef; Yang, Fei; Bolzoni, Leandro (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)

  Titanium alloys are common biomedical materials due to their biocompatibility and mechanical performance. However, titanium alloys are expensive and, unless surface treated, generally cannot prevent surgical infections ...

  

• Biomedical Ti-Cu-Mn alloys with antibacterial capability 

  Alqattan, M.; Alshammari, Yousef Namlan; Yang, Fei; Peters, Linda M.; Bolzoni, Leandro (Elsevier, 2021)

  This study aims to develop Ti–Cu–Mn alloys with antibacterial capability for reducing the possibility of bacterial infection during biomedical implant surgeries. Ternary alloys were designed to be manufactured via powder ...

  

• Chitosan: A review of sources and preparation methods 

  Kou, Shijie; Peters, Linda M.; Mucalo, Michael R. (Elsevier, 2021)

  This review aims to explore different sources of chitin and methods of chitosan production with industrial consideration. This article first discussed different sources of chitin for industrial scale production, with ...

  

• Development of a qPCR method to measure mitochondrial and genomic DNA damage with application to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage and cryopreserved cells 

  Evans, Stephen O.; Jameson, Michael B.; Cursons, Raymond T.; Peters, Linda M.; Bird, Steve; Jacobson, Gregory M. (MDPI AG, 2016)

  DNA damage quantitation assays such as the comet assay have focused on the measurement of total nuclear damage per cell. The adoption of PCR-based techniques to quantify DNA damage has enabled sequence- and organelle-specific ...

  

• Enhanced targeting of triplex forming oligonucleotides 

  Peters, Linda M. (The University of Waikato, 1999)

  Oligonucleotides offer the potential to inhibit the expression of specific genes within living cells by binding to the major groove of the DNA helix in a sequence-specific manner to form a DNA triple helix. The ultimate ...

  

• Investigation of in vitro diabetic inflammation and treatment with Piper excelsum tea extract 

  Harvey, Savannah Jean-Maree (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  Induction of inflammation through hyperglycaemia and adiposity has been shown to contribute to the pathogenicity of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) was the first ...

  

• Investigation of respiratory surfactant A protein in middle ear epithelium 

  Cecire, Anthony (The University of Waikato, 2020)

  Introduction: The middle ear of mammals is an air-chamber required for sound transmission. It is lined by an epithelium which is variable but which resembles that of the lungs. Lung function depends upon surfactant which ...

  

• Comparative safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of three oral selenium compounds in cancer patients 

  Evans, Stephen Owen (The University of Waikato, 2019)

  Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element involved in many biological processes in humans. Se compounds have demonstrated growth inhibition of malignant cells and tumours in many experimental models. Furthermore, combining ...

  

• Cow breed, stocking rate, and calving date affect the profitability of pasture-based dairy farms 

  Spaans, Olivia Katherine (The University of Waikato, 2018)

  Data from two multi-year experiments undertaken at the DairyNZ research farm, No 2. Dairy were collated and analysed. The effects of: 1) Breed (Jersey or Holstein-Friesian; JER, HF) at optimum or high comparative stocking ...

  

• Investigation of host cell wall degrading strategies of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) 

  Subasinghe, Rasika (The University of Waikato, 2018)

  Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis) is cultivated in several countries including Italy, France, Chile, China, Japan, Korea and New Zealand and is an important income earner for a majority of these ...
