Finding the missing link (Pre-published version)
(The Irish Times, 2008)Education: Is it time to sacrifice the sacred cow of Irish education - the Leaving Cert? -
Important first steps: Innovation and primary education (Pre-published version)
(The Irish Times, 2008)Primary education is the best point at which to tackle educational disadvantage and to encourage the growth of the knowledge economy, yet its funding seems to be systematically neglected by Government. -
Becoming an educator in and through the arts: forming and informing emerging teachers' professional identity (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2015)This article examines student experience and identity formation within an arts education module (involving music, drama and visual arts) on an initial teacher education programme in Ireland. Student reflections (n ¼ 106) ... -
World music in the classroom
(INTO [Irish National Teacher's Organisation], 2008)The importance of incorporating world music as part of the music curriculum in schools and classrooms is at its most relevant in intercultural Ireland. Here are some ideas for activities and resources on world music. -
‘Collaborative creativity’ within a jazz ensemble as a musical and social practice (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2014)This article seeks to explore ‘collaborative creativity’ within the musical and social practices of a local jazz ensemble in Ireland. Within this study, concepts of creativity are firmly rooted within socio-cultural contexts ... -
TRAM is required for TLR2 endosomal signaling to Type I IFN induction (Pre-published version)
(AAI [The American Association of Immunologists], 2014)Detection of microbes by TLRs on the plasma membrane leads to the induction of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a, via activation of NF-kB. Alternatively, activation of endosomal TLRs leads to the induction of type I ... -
Seasonal variation in nitrogenous components and bioactivity of protein hydrolysates from Porphyra dioica (Pre-published version)
(Springer Nature, 2017)The red macroalga Porphyra dioica has been harvested and consumed for centuries. Based on its nutritional composition, availability and consumer familiarity, significant potential exists to develop this species as a source ... -
CS09-4. Molecular mechanism Of poxviral antagonism of the Tlr4 complex by vacv protein A46 (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2011)Toll like receptors (TLRs) are involved in the detection of viruses, leading to cytokine and interferon induction. TLR4, although best known for its role in recognising LPS, also plays a role in the immune response to ... -
The TLR signaling adaptor TRAM interacts with TRAF6 to mediate activation of the inflammatory response by TLR4 (Pre-published version)
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)TLRs act as sentinels in professional immune cells to detect and initiate the innate immune response to pathogen challenge. TLR4 is a widely expressed TLR, responsible for initiating potent immune responses to LPS. TRAM ... -
The human adaptor SARM negatively regulates adaptor protein TRIF–dependent Toll-like receptor signalling (Pre-published version)
(Springer Nature, 2006)Toll-like receptors discriminate between different pathogen-associated molecules and activate signaling cascades that lead to immune responses. The specificity of Toll-like receptor signaling occurs by means of adaptor ... -
c-Jun N-terminal kinase activity supports multiple phases of 3D-mammary epithelial acinus formation
(University of the Basque Country Press, 2011)Primary murine mammary epithelial cells cultured on a laminin-rich-extracellular matrix (ECM) require c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity for acinus formation. Inhibition of JNK (using SP600125) or small interfering ... -
Protein extraction and bioactive hydrolysate generation from two microalgae, Porphyridium purpureum and Phaeodactylum tricornutum
(International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, 2018)Microalgae are a relatively underutilised source of valuable nutritional compounds and biochemicals. Their high protein contents make them an interesting target for the generation of bioactive peptides for the functional ... -
Poxviral protein A52 stimulates p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) activation by causing tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) self-association leading to transforming growth factor b-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) recruitment
(ASBMB [American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology], 2013)Vaccinia virus encodes a number of proteins that inhibit and manipulate innate immune signaling pathways that also have a role in virulence. These include A52, a protein shown to inhibit IL-1- and Toll-like receptor-stimulated ... -
Corpus analysis (Pre-published version)
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)Large and small language text corpora have become quite ubiquitous in the broad fields that make up the study of language and social interaction. This entry provides an introduction to the concept of the “corpus” where ... -
