Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways mediate embryonic responses to culture medium osmolarity by regulating Aquaporin 3 and 9 expression and localization, as well as embryonic apoptosis (2009)

Bell, Christine E., Larivière, Nathalie M.K., Watson, Patricia H., Watson, Andrew J.

BACKGROUND In order to advance the development of culture conditions and increase the potential for supporting normal preimplantation embryo development in vitro, it is critical to define the...

An operational monitoring system to provide indicators of CO2-related variables in the ocean (2008)

Hardman-Mountford, Nicholas J., Moore, Gerald, Bakker, Dorothee C. E., Watson, Andrew J., Schuster, Ute, Barciela, Rosa, ...

Demand by governments and scientists is increasing for indicators of CO2-related variables for the ocean. We describe a recent project, CARBON-OPS, during which a "supply chain" was developed for...

An operational monitoring system to provide indicators of CO2-related variables in the ocean (2008)

Hardman-Mountford, Nicholas J., Moore, Gerald, Bakker, Dorothee C. E., Watson, Andrew J., Schuster, Ute, Barciela, Rosa, ...

Hardman-Mountford, N. J., Moore, G., Bakker, D. C. E., Watson, A. J., Schuster, U., Barciela, R., Hines, A., Moncoiffé, G., Brown, J., Dye, S., Blackford, J., Somerfield, P. J., Holt, J., Hydes, D....

Genomic RNA profiling and the programme controlling preimplantation mammalian development (2008)

Bell, Christine E., Calder, Michele D., Watson, Andrew J.

Preimplantation development shifts from a maternal to embryonic programme rapidly after fertilization. Although the majority of oogenetic products are lost during the maternal to embryonic transition...

Mouse preimplantation embryo responses to culture medium osmolarity include increased expression of CCM2 and p38 MAPK activation (2007)

Fong, Barry, Watson, Patricia H, Watson, Andrew J

Abstract Background Mechanisms that confer an ability to respond positively to environmental osmolarity are fundamental to ensuring embryo survival during the preimplantation period. Activation of...

Short-circuiting of the oceanic overturning circulation in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (2007)

Naveira Garabato, Alberto C., Stevens, David P., Watson, Andrew J., Roether, Watson, Roether, Wolfgang

The oceanic overturning circulation has a central role in the Earth's climate system and in biogeochemical cycling as it transports heat, carbon and nutrients around the globe and regulates their...

Can limited ocean mixing buffer rapid climate change? (2005)

Oliver, Kevin I. C., Watson, Andrew J., Stevens, David P.

It has been argued that diapycnal mixing has a strongly stabilizing role in the global thermohaline circulation (THC). Negative feedback between THC transport and low-latitude buoyancy distribution...

Intermediate water from the Greenland Sea in the Faroe Bank Channel : spreading of released sulphur hexafluoride (2004)

Olsson, K. Anders, Jeansson, Emil, Anderson, Leif G., Hansen, Bogi, Eldevik, Tor, Kristiansen, Regin, ...

The Faroe Bank Channel is the deepest passage for dense water leaving the Nordic Seas into the North Atlantic. The contribution to this part of the Greenland-Scotland Overflow by intermediate water...

Turbulent diapycnal mixing in the Nordic seas (2004)

Naveira Garabato, Alberto C., Oliver, Kevin, Watson, Andrew J., Messias, Marie-José

The distribution of turbulent diapycnal mixing in the Nordic seas is mapped from observations of internal wave density and velocity fine structure. The uppermost 500–1500 m host two distinct mixing...

Responsiveness of bovine cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COC) to porcine and recombinant human FSH, and the effect of COC quality on gonadotropin receptor and Cx43 marker gene mRNAs during maturation in vitro (2003)

Calder, Michele D, Caveney, Anita N, Smith, Lawrence C, Watson, Andrew J

Abstract Substantially less development to the blastocyst stage occurs in vitro than in vivo and this may be due to deficiencies in oocyte competence. Although a large proportion of bovine oocytes...

Temperatures in a runaway greenhouse on the evolving Venus: implications for water loss (1984)

Watson, Andrew J., Donahue, Thomas M., Kuhn, William R.

Recent work has established that Venus once had at least 100 times its present complement of outgassed water. An original complement of water comparable to the earth's is not inconsistent with our...

The dynamics of a rapidly escaping atmosphere: Applications to the evolution of Earth and Venus (1981)

Watson, Andrew J., Donahue, Thomas M., Walker, James C. G.

A simple, idealized model for the rapid escape of a hydrogen thermosphere provides some quantitative estimates for the energy-limited flux of escaping particles. The model assumes that the atmosphere...

Responsiveness of bovine cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COC) to porcine and recombinant human FSH, and the effect of COC quality on gonadotropin receptor and Cx43 marker gene mRNAs during maturation in vitro

Calder, Michele D, Caveney, Anita N, Smith, Lawrence C, Watson, Andrew J

Substantially less development to the blastocyst stage occurs in vitro than in vivo and this may be due to deficiencies in oocyte competence. Although a large proportion of bovine oocytes undergo...

Passive Immunotherapy in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Macaques Accelerates the Development of Neutralizing Antibodies

Haigwood, Nancy L., Montefiori, David C., Sutton, William F., McClure, Janela, Watson, Andrew J., Voss, Gerald, ...

Passively transferred neutralizing antibodies can block lentivirus infection, but their role in postexposure prophylaxis is poorly understood. In this nonhuman-primate study, the effects of...
