Point-of-care platelet diagnostics

University of Reading
Department of Biomedical Sciences
Project Overview. Platelets are small blood cells that play a vital role in the chronic and acute progression of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), but also have roles in immunity, inflammation, cancer metastasis, Alzheimer's disease and a range of infections, such as dengue, HIV-1, malaria, and COVID-19.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of a novel Botulinum toxin

University of Sheffield
School of Biosciences
Clostridial neurotoxins are produced by anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum. Each toxin molecule has a highly conserved zinc-dependent protease domain that cleaves SNARE proteins, a family of molecules required for intracellular trafficking and vesicle fusion. Read more

From metabolism to immunity: rediscovering SGLT2

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Cardiovascular Sciences
SGLT2 inhibitors are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes, yet their true potential may extend far beyond blood sugar control. Clinical trials have already shown that these drugs reduce cardiovascular events, protect the kidney, and improve survival. Read more

SGLT2 inhibitors and mitochondrial function: a new avenue for an existing drug

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Cardiovascular Sciences
Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are an established class of antidiabetic drugs that have demonstrated additional benefits beyond glycaemic control, including cardiovascular and renal protection. Read more

Investigating the roles that G protein coupled receptors play in hypertension

University of Leicester
College of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes ranging from the transmission of light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. Read more
