Precision Exercise For Breast Cancer-Related Outcomes: Towards Personalised Training Based On Tumour, Treatment And Patient Characteristics, Cristina Crespo-Garcia, Anita Borsati, Dennis R. Taaffe, Carolyn J. Peddle-Mcintyre, John P. Campbell, Alice Avancini, Emily Jeffery, Daniel A. Galvao, Robert U. Newton Jan 2026

Precision Exercise For Breast Cancer-Related Outcomes: Towards Personalised Training Based On Tumour, Treatment And Patient Characteristics, Cristina Crespo-Garcia, Anita Borsati, Dennis R.

Exercise is a promising strategy associated with improved cancer-related outcomes through multiple biological mechanisms. However, current exercise guidelines largely adopt a one-size-fits-all approach and overlook inter-individual variability in response. Given the heterogeneity of breast cancer, precision exercise prescriptions may better target biological pathways linked to therapeutic efficacy and long-term prognosis. Observational studies consistently show that higher physical activity levels are associated with improved survival outcomes, including reduced all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality. In contrast, evidence from interventional trials remains limited and inconsistent, with effects on tumour response and survival largely derived from secondary or exploratory analyses. These discrepancies likely reflect …


Relating To Difficult Weather Through Creative Practice: Responses To Marrugeku’S Cut The Sky, Helena Grehan, Jo Pollitt, O. J.E. Slater, Sam Fox Jan 2026

Relating To Difficult Weather Through Creative Practice: Responses To Marrugeku’S Cut The Sky, Helena Grehan, Jo Pollitt, O. J.E. Slater, Sam Fox

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

In this paper we argue that performance and the arts invite a deliberate sensorial connection with the body and can support a bodily turn or return, in order to help artists, scholars and communities more broadly, better attune to increasing climate instability, through collaborative, supportive and reflexive storytelling. Drawing on the three “weather” symposia, the paper focusses on the second symposium which featured a keynote presentation by Rachael Swain, co-artistic director of Marrugeku, Australia’s leading Indigenous Intercultural Dance and Performance Company. Responses to Marrugeku’s work Cut the Sky are collectively presented to illuminate what Swain argues are, “Dramaturgies of consequence” …


Sulphur Metabolism As A Key Factor In The Evolution Of Environmental Adaptation Of Acidihalobacter, Eva Vergara, Himel Nahreen Khaleque, Gonzalo Neira, Elizabeth L.J. Watkin, Jorge H. Valdés, David S. Holmes Jan 2026

Sulphur Metabolism As A Key Factor In The Evolution Of Environmental Adaptation Of Acidihalobacter, Eva Vergara, Himel Nahreen Khaleque, Gonzalo Neira, Elizabeth L.J. Watkin, Jorge H. Valdés, David S. Holmes

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

This study compares predicted sulphur metabolism genes across four Acidihalobacter type strains and two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), revealing genomic differences that appear to correspond to ecological specialization. Phylog-enomic analysis separates the species into two clades: clade I includes Acidihalobacter ferrooxydans from a geothermal region in Italy and the two MAGs derived from deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean, while clade II comprises Acidihalo-bacter aeolianus and Acidihalobacter prosperus from a geothermal region in Italy and Acidihalobacter yilgarnensis from a saline and acidic drainage in Australia. Variations in sulphide/quinone oxidoreductases (SQRs) across the species, in particular in Ah. ferrooxydans and Ah. …


Thinking With Trees: Responding To Sympoietic Plant Relations Through Visual Art, Xiaoyu Yang Jan 2026

Thinking With Trees: Responding To Sympoietic Plant Relations Through Visual Art, Xiaoyu Yang

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Societal Impact Statement: Amid escalating climate crises, this paper explores how we might rethink our relationship with the natural world, particularly with plants and trees, through the perspectives of visual art. This paper reveals how art invites us to see trees and other plant life not as passive background scenery, but as living beings with their own forms of experience and individuality. Rather than offering technical solutions to the climate crisis, visual art creates something equally important: a shift in how we think and feel about ‘othering’ non-human life. By making visible the inner lives and behaviours of plants, art …
