Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR).

Dissecting behaviourally relevant feedback microcircuits in the brain

Queen Mary University of London Blizard Institute

Interactions between distinct neural circuits in the brain help in sensory-guided perceptual decisions. We have recently reported that task/context-switching behaviour is dependent upon specific populations of neurons in the frontal cortex which encode and convey rule-related information (Banerjee et al.

Molecular mechanisms of pacemaker (sinus node) dysfunction in ageing, heart failure and athletes

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

The heart’s pacemaker, the sinus node, initiates the action potential that causes the heart to beat, and the atrioventricular node conducts the action potential from the atria to the ventricles, the pumping chambers of the heart. Read more
