NWC is a third gene within recombination activating gene (RAG) locus, which unlike RAG genes is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a unique protein containing three strongly evolutionarily conserved domains not found in any other known protein. To get insight into its function we identified several proteins co-immunoprecipitating with NWC protein and generated new NWC-deficient mice. Here, we present evidence that unlike many other ubiquitously expressed evolutionarily conserved proteins, functional inactivation of NWC does not cause any gross developmental, physiological or reproductive abnormalities and that under physiological conditions NWC may be involved in assembling and functioning of cilia, cell surface organelles found on nearly every eukaryotic cell.

Co-producing a board game to learn and engage about dementia inequalities: First impacts on knowledge in the general population.
Health Expect
February 2024
NIHR Applied Research Collaboration North West Coast, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Receiving and accessing care after a diagnosis of dementia, both for the person and their carer, are fraught with inequalities. The aim of this public engagement activity was to co-produce a board game about dementia inequalities to facilitate learning, dialogue and educate about different barriers, and facilitators, to diagnosis and care and to test the game's impact on dementia knowledge with the general public.
Methods: Two virtual and two face-to-face workshops with people with dementia, unpaid carers, health and social care professionals and Third Sector representatives were held between October 2022 and June 2023.
Tumour-selective activity of RAS-GTP inhibition in pancreatic cancer.
Nature
May 2024
Department of Medicine, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, USA.
Broad-spectrum RAS inhibition has the potential to benefit roughly a quarter of human patients with cancer whose tumours are driven by RAS mutations. RMC-7977 is a highly selective inhibitor of the active GTP-bound forms of KRAS, HRAS and NRAS, with affinity for both mutant and wild-type variants. More than 90% of cases of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are driven by activating mutations in KRAS.

Psychiatry Investig
August 2023
Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, Selçuk University, Konya, Türkiye.
Objective: Society's sleep-wake cycle and eating behaviors have altered and are considered the psychological outcomes of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Our aim was to examine the relationship between sleep-wake rhythms, eating behaviors (dieting, oral control, and bulimic behaviors), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms with weight gain during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The participants were 578 female university students divided into three groups based on weight change during COVID-19 who lost weight, whose weight did not change (nWC), and who gained weight (WG).
Prognosis of adults and children following a first unprovoked seizure.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2023
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Epilepsy is clinically defined as two or more unprovoked epileptic seizures more than 24 hours apart. Given that, a diagnosis of epilepsy can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality, it is imperative that clinicians (and people with seizures and their relatives) have access to accurate and reliable prognostic estimates, to guide clinical practice on the risks of developing further unprovoked seizures (and by definition, a diagnosis of epilepsy) following single unprovoked epileptic seizure.
Objectives: 1.
Pregabalin add-on for drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
March 2022
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Background: This is an updated version of the Cochrane Review last published in Issue 7, 2019; it includes two additional studies. Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that affects approximately 1% of the UK population. Approximately one-third of these people continue to have seizures despite drug treatment.
