The bradykinin β2 receptor (BDKRB2) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) genes and endurance performance during Ironman Triathlons
Colleen J. Saunders,Stavroulla Xenophontos,Marios A. Cariolou,Lakis C. Anastassiades,Timothy D. Noakes,Malcolm Collins +5 more
TL;DR: Both the NOS3 and BDKRB2 genes are associated with the actual performance during the Ironman Triathlons.
Investigation of variants within the COL27A1 and TNC genes and Achilles tendinopathy in two populations
Colleen J. Saunders,Lize van der Merwe,Lize van der Merwe,Lize van der Merwe,Michael Posthumus,Jillianne Leigh Cook,Christopher J. Handley,Malcolm Collins,Malcolm Collins,Alison V. September +9 more
TL;DR: This study further implicates the genomic region containing the TNC and COL27A1 genes in influencing risk of AT, and maps the potential risk allele to a genetic interval flanked by rs946053 and rs2104772.

Defining the molecular signatures of Achilles tendinopathy and anterior cruciate ligament ruptures: A whole-exome sequencing approach.
TL;DR: The results provide a proof of concept for the use of a customised pipeline for the exploration of a larger genomic dataset and generate new genetic signatures in the biology of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries.
Dipsogenic genes associated with weight changes during Ironman Triathlons
Colleen J. Saunders,Liesl de Milander,Tamara Hew-Butler,Stavroulla Xenophontos,Marios A. Cariolou,Lakis C. Anastassiades,Timothy D. Noakes,Malcolm Collins,Malcolm Collins +8 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest the involvement of the serotonergic pathways in the control of thirst and drinking behaviour and provide further evidence for the dipsogenic effect of circulating bradykinin.
Social media and the modern scientist: a research primer for low- and middle-income countries.
Junghwan Kevin Dong,Colleen J. Saunders,Benjamin Wachira,Brent Thoma,Brent Thoma,Teresa M. Chan,Teresa M. Chan +6 more
TL;DR: A step-by-step guide on optimizing your social media strategy with regards to research/scholarly practice (discourse, collaboration, recruitment, knowledge translation, dissemination, and education).
