We have 148 Cell Biology (culture) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

MScR - Preserving t-tubule function in adult cardiac myocytes in short-term culture

Invaginations of the sarcolemma of adult cardiac myocytes known as transverse (or t-) tubules account for up to 65% of the total sarcolemma surface and play a key role in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling and cell signalling (Hong & Shaw, 2017). Read more

Bioengineering a dynamic culture platform to improve the maturity of iPSC-derived muscle organoids

About the project. Heart disease is a critical health burden and leading cause of mortality worldwide. To understand disease mechanisms and develop future treatments for heart disease, we have developed a human cardiac organoid platform derived from pluripotent stem cells. Read more

Vascularising human mini-brains in a dish

Blood vessels play a pivotal role in brain development and function. They promote tissue growth and survival by supplying nutrients and oxygen to surrounding tissues, signals to progenitor populations, as well as guiding neuronal migration. Read more

Elucidation of a new pathological mechanism for brittle bone disease

The incidence of the brittle bone disease osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is estimated to be around 1 in 10,000 individuals. The phenotypic spectrum of OI ranges from mild to perinatal lethal and includes extra-skeletal connective tissue manifestations. Read more

Diagnostics for FMF patients and carrier survival in pandemics

Background. Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a rare inherited genetic disease where patients acquire a mutation on the pyrin gene leading to excessive inflammasome activation and excessive inflammation. Read more

Investigating mechanisms of extra-cellular matrix remodelling and fibrosis in the gastrointestinal tract

Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease, are increasing in prevalence globally. These are caused by chronic inflammation in the gut, there is no cure and medications are not effective for all. Read more

Sensitizing AML cells to RAR and VDR ligands (vitamin A and D derivatives) to prevent leukaemia relapse

The doctoral candidate (DC) will perform basic research on leukaemia cell biology in vitro and in vivo at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. Read more

Preclinical testing of collagen synthesis inhibitors for fibrotic disease

Fibrotic disease is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which then impedes tissue function. Organ fibrosis specifically kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis and lung fibrosis have limited treatment options, pose a huge clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases. Read more

Investigating the neuro-stromal-immune interactions in inflammageing and osteoarthritis.

Ageing is associated with a higher risk of developing multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) including osteoarthritis. Age-associated chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammageing) is a hallmark of osteoarthritis. Read more

Creating patient-specific retinal organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells for in vitro simulation of uveitis

Uveitis, although uncommon, is a notable cause of visual impairment and blindness. Uveitis encompasses a range of conditions driven by both innate autoinflammatory and adaptive autoimmune CD4 T-cell responses. Read more

Cancer: Characterization of EGFR signaling activated by the endothelium in the process of breast cancer metastasis to the brain

The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is important in normal physiology regulating epithelial development and homeostasis. In cancer, deregulation resulting from mutation, amplification or transcriptional upregulation promotes tumorigenesis. Read more
