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

A structural biology approach to understand IMPDH2 rod-ring structures in Embryonic Stem Cells

University of Liverpool

Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

IMPDH2 is a critical enzyme responsible for the rate limiting step of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. In naïve pluripotent stem cells, it forms large rod-ring structures (RRs) which are hypothesised to control the enzyme’s output when the pool of guanine nucleotides is in high demand. Read more

(PDS) Defining the role of retained carbonaceous particles in immune-stromal crosstalk and tissue remodelling in the human lung

The University of Manchester

Division of Immunology, Immunity to Infection and Respiratory Medicine

Carbonaceous particles from tobacco smoke and urban air pollution persist in the lung for life. Alveolar macrophages internalise them but cannot degrade or export them, and particles accumulate until the cells die, releasing inflammatory mediators into the tissue. Read more
