Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health

All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more

Structural-guided PROTAC targeting of BMX to modulate apoptotic sensitivity in disease

University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology

What determines at the molecular level whether a cell lives or dies? Regulation of the cellular life–death switch is essential in healthy cells for normal foetal development and for the clearance of damaged cells. Read more

Probing Death Decisions from Morphogen Gradient Fields

University of Liverpool Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine

Morphogen gradient scaling is one of the hottest fields in developmental biology at the moment. Scaling is fundamental, explaining how the machinery that controls pattern formation in development (the morphogens) can adapt, so that organs of different sizes show morphological structures which are proportioned.

Updating the background characteristics and risk factors associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) to inform risk-reduction messages and help target vulnerable families

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Our team has been instrumental in reducing the number of cot deaths (SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) in England & Wales by 90% over the last three decades.[1] The remaining 2-300 unexpected infant deaths per year show a marked inequality, largely coming from socio-economically deprived communities.
