Stress and health: Lifespan stress and cardio-metabolic disease risk pathways through cardiovascular stress reactivity

  Research Group: SPARKLE - Stirling Physical Activity Research, Knowledge & Learning Exchange
There are large physiological variations in how individuals respond to stressful stimuli which have important health and behavioural implications (Carroll… Read more

Understanding the impact of nutrition on cognitive and cerebral function during episodes of mental stress

The impact of diet on mental health and brain performance is a topic of growing focus and concern. diets rich in saturated fats have been associated with a significant risk for cognitive decline later in life (1,2), whilst healthier diets, rich in plant polyphenols are linked to reduced risk of dementia (3).

The cellular response to stress: roles in disease and ageing

All living organisms need to adapt to their environment in order to survive and reproduce. They are subjected to many stresses including altered oxygen levels, heat or cold, irradiation, infection and injury. Read more

Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress

Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more

Identification of phosphatases that inactivate the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor Ire1

A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr. Martin Schröder in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University to study stress signalling mechanisms originating from the endoplasmic reticulum. Read more

The role of RNA-binding proteins in determining pancreatic beta-cell fate and diabetes

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a significant determinant in the development of type-1 and type-2 diabetes as it has been shown to promote the dysfunction and death of insulin secreting pancreatic beta cells. Read more

Interfacial flows of yield-stress fluids

The proposed research is focused on interfacial flows of yield-stress fluids. These materials start to flow when a sufficiently large stress is applied to them but behave as solids otherwise. Read more
