Ion channel signalling in cancer cells

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Our cells constantly sense and transport ions present in their environment. From embryonic development to epilepsy to heart disease to cancer, our cells’ ability to respond to changes in the ionic microenvironment is essential for healthy ageing. Read more

Identifying variants impacting splicing of 5’ and 3’ UTRs and underpinning inherited retinal disease

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Genomic variation that impacts splicing is well established as a cause of genomic disorders, but is almost exclusively limited to protein-coding exons and introns intersecting protein-coding exons. Read more

The epigenomic, transcriptional and diagnostic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by exposure to maternal infection

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

A fundamental unknown in understanding mechanisms of disease, and therefore improving therapy, is how stressors experienced during critical developmental periods influence the genesis or ‘programming’ of adult disease (Estes & McAllister 2016). Read more

Investigating monogenic disorders of the protein synthesis machinery

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular biological process. We recently described a novel human disorder, now called Faundes-Banka Syndrome (FABAS), caused by heterozygous variants in EIF5A1 that encodes a translation factor. Read more

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

University of Worcester Research School

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

Using microRNA inhibitors to boost GABAergic inhibition as a genetic therapy for epilepsy

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterised by recurrent spontaneous seizures and cognitive co-morbidities. Current small molecule approaches to treating epilepsy are ineffective in a significant portion of cases, and are associated with substantial adverse effects. Read more
