Cell-biological mechanisms mediating primary cilium mediated interpretation of Shh signalling during vertebrate neuronal differentiation

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Newborn neurons undergo extensive morphological changes as they polarise to extend axons. In the developing spinal cord, newborn neurons extend axons towards their targets in response to cues from the surrounding tissues. Read more

Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more

Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

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
