The role of fibroblasts in skeletal muscle ageing (SSEHS/NM)

Loughborough University
School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences

Dr N Martin

Applications accepted all year round

Loughborough University is a top-ten rated university in England for research intensity (REF2014) and an outstanding 66% of the work of Loughborough’s academic staff who were eligible to be submitted to the REF was judged as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, compared to a national average figure of 43%.

The effects of therapeutic interventions and their underpinning mechanisms in patients with cardiovascular disease and low skeletal muscle strength and mass (RDF19/HLS/SER/O'DOHERTY)

Northumbria University
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Dr A O'Doherty

Application Deadline: 25 January 2019

Abnormally low skeletal muscle strength and mass, termed sarcopenia, is related to increased hospital admissions, disability, reduced quality of life and risk of early mortality.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Elucidating new redox-signalling mechanisms that act to maintain healthy tissues during ageing

Newcastle University
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership

Prof E Veal, Prof M Jackson, Dr N Conlon

Application Deadline: 21 January 2019

Project Summary. This iCASE MRC studentship provides an exciting opportunity to use a diverse range of cutting-edge techniques, and exploit the advantages of different model systems, to identify new molecular mechanisms, that protect against ageing/age-associated diseases.

PhD studentship in Cellular Medicine – Strategies to reverse muscle wasting in chronic respiratory disease entities (RDF19/HLS/AS/SIMOES)

Northumbria University
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Dr D Simoes

Application Deadline: 25 January 2019

Ageing is associated with skeletal muscle loss (sarcopenia), which results in limited strength and independence, as well as impaired metabolic health.

microRNAs as tools to regulate senescence of musculoskeletal cells during ageing

University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease

Dr K Whysall, Prof P Clegg

Application Deadline: 22 November 2019

As the ageing population continues to increase, it is important to address ageing-related health issues. There is currently no effective treatments for many common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, such as sarcopenia or osteoarthritis, which increase in prevalence during ageing.

The effect of low protein diet on the development of the musculoskeletal system

University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease

Dr A Vasilaki, Dr K Whysall, Dr I Kanakis

Applications accepted all year round

Age-related sarcopenia is characterised by reduction in the number of myofibres and motor neurons and an additional weakening of the remaining fibres, causing reduction in muscle mass and function.

Modulation of fortified foods for older adults

University of Reading
Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences

Dr L Methven, Dr S Lignou

Applications accepted all year round

Protein requirements increase with age as protein can help minimise sarcopenia and improve immunity. However protein fortified foods are often poorly accepted by older adults and can lead to numerous negative sensory attributes.
