How does glycolysis influence the oral environment during caries and periodontitis?

Glycolysis plays a pivotal role during energy metabolism and cellular responses in oral health and pathology. It is a crucial metabolic pathway for energy production, especially in inflammation or infection scenario, that is essential for maintaining tissue integrity and function in the gingiva and dental pulp.

Targeting dormant cancer cells in myeloma

Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer and remains essentially incurable. Chemotherapy is effective at reducing tumour and extends survival, but it never fully eradicates disease, so patients face inevitable relapse. Read more

Role of primary cilia in skeletal muscle stem cells and muscle regeneration

Primary cilia are cellular organelles present at the surface of many cell types in vertebrates. In recent years, they have been shown to play essential roles in relaying signalling information from the environment to the cell. Read more

Exploring Uncharted Territories: Investigating the Impact of Follicular Fluid Extracellular Vesicles on Spermatozoa Function

The intricate dynamics underlying successful mammalian reproduction continue to captivate scientific inquiry. However, the mechanisms governing the interaction between spermatozoa and the female reproductive tract remain elusive. Read more

Effect of androgens on preantral follicle development

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects >5% of women of reproductive age and is the most common cause of menstrual dysfunction and is associated with metabolic abnormalities and increased risk to long-term health. Read more

Molecular characterisation of scavenger receptor ligand binding.

Scavenger receptors have been identified as being important in Human disease and normal physiological responses. Scavenger receptors are a large family of cell surface receptors that are expressed ubiquitously. Read more

The regulation of scavenger receptors in cancer

The expression of some scavenger receptors has been identified as being poor for cancer prognosis. Scavenger receptors are a large family of cell surface receptors that are expressed ubiquitously in the Human body. Read more

Cancer cells ‘feed’ on extracellular matrix components under starvation conditions: how can they do it?

Background. The tumour microenvironment (TME) has a key role in promoting tumour formation and progression. In breast and pancreatic cancers, this accompanied by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the TME. Read more

Investigating the Roles for deSUMOylation Enzyme SENP3 in Autophagy Impaired by α-synuclein

Aggregation of α-synuclein protein in neuronal cells has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders (Synucleinopathies) including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Read more

Microalgal Biorefineries

A major contemporary challenge in industrial manufacturing is the development of sustainable production processes. This includes reduced resource consumption and CO2 generation, and energy efficient operations with maximised product outputs. Read more

Algal Bioplastics

Single use plastic is a major environmental concern that is urgently in need of innovative solutions. Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms that can be employed to develop processes that are environmentally sustainable. Read more
