    • Fractalkine cleavage from neuronal membranes represents an acute event in the inflammatory response to excitotoxic brain damage 

      Chapman, G. A.; Moores, K. E.; Harrison, D.; Campbell, C. A.; Stewart, B. R.; Strijbos, P. J.; Berkhout, Theo (2000-08-01)
      Fractalkine is a recently identified chemokine that exhibits cell adhesion and chemoattractive properties. It represents a unique member of the chemokine superfamily because it is located predominantly in the brain in which ...

    • PlanetPol : A very high sensitivity polarimeter 

      Hough, J.H.; Lucas, P.W.; Bailey, J.A.; Tamura, M.; Hirst, E.; Harrison, D.; Bartholomew-Biggs, M. (2006-09-01)
      We have built and used on several occasions an optical broadband stellar polarimeter, PlanetPol, which employs photoelastic modulators and avalanche photodiodes and achieves a photon-noise-limited sensitivity of at least ...

    • Planetpol polarimetry of the exoplanet systems 55 Cnc and tau Boo 

      Lucas, P.W.; Hough, J.; Bailey, J.; Tamura, M.; Hirst, E.; Harrison, D. (2009)
      We present very sensitive polarimetry of 55 Cnc and τ Boo in an attempt to detect the partially polarized reflected light from the planets orbiting these two stars. 55 Cnc is orbited by a hot Neptune planet (55 Cnc e) at ...
