Improving meta-analysis of complex healthcare interventions: Application to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

University of Leicester

Department of Population Health Sciences

Health and social care interventions—like those for quitting smoking or managing weight—are often made up of several parts. For example, a smoking cessation programme might include motivational sessions, behaviour-change strategies, and different delivery formats (online, in-person, group sessions) [1]. Read more

How do transcriptional kinases regulate cell cycle progression?

University of Leicester

Molecular and Cell Biology

Project. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are protein kinases performing essential functions by regulating cell cycle and RNA polymerase II transcription of protein-coding and non-coding genes. Read more

Investigating the role of galectins in oncogenic KRAS signalling

University of Leicester

Molecular and Cell Biology

Background. The RAS family of small GTPases serves as signalling hubs that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. Notably, approximately 18% of all human cancers contain mutations in KRAS, one of the RAS isoforms (Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer (COSMIC)). Read more

Molecular characterization of suicidal phage-resistance mechanisms in bacteria

University of Leicester

Molecular and Cell Biology

Importance. The proliferation of antibiotic resistance (AMR) through horizontal-gene-transfer (HGT) is a formidable health challenge, accounting for 700,000 deaths annually1. Read more

Multimodal Assessment of Falls Risk/ Movement Performance in Older Adults Using Wearable Sensor Technologies and Visual Computing Techniques

University of Bradford

Faculty of Engineering & Digital Technologies

Falls are a leading cause of severe injury and loss of functional independence among older adults. Performance measures derived from gait and postural assessments offer valuable insight into an individual’s movement quality (and hence their falls risk). Read more

Why do we get sick when we are stressed?

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Hypothesis. We hypothesise that host stress, via catecholamine stress hormones (norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine), plays a critical role in triggering the transition of Streptococcus pneumoniae from a benign coloniser in the nasopharynx to an invasive pathogen. Read more

Structural insights into how Mycobacterium tuberculosis interacts with human cells

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Project. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the leading global cause of death from a single infectious agent. It is a highly specialised human pathogen and is able to adapt to changing conditions in human macrophages and granulomas in order to subvert immune defences. Read more

Bacterial lipid bodies: Targeting pathogen fat reserves for infection control

University of Leicester

Department of Respiratory Sciences

Bacterial lipid bodies (LBs), also known as intrabacterial lipid inclusions or lipid droplets, are intracellular accumulations of neutral lipids, such as triacylglycerol (TAG) and wax esters. Read more
