Endothelial glycocalyx damage as a therapeutic target in sepsis-associated Acute Kidney Injury

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (sAKI), associated with high morbidity and mortality.1,2 Unfortunately, there is no treatment for sAKI, current therapies are nonspecific and supportive of the vital organ systems in the hope the kidney will recover. Read more

Glycosylation in Microalgal Host Cells

University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering

Microalgae have generated increasing interest as microbial cell factories to produce therapeutics proteins. This is because they can grow on very cheap media and their GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status means they are a fantastic option for the production of therapeutics that can be administered orally.

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).
