Development of micro-incubator OCT/ OCE bioreactor system to engineer a robust musculoskeletal tissue model

University of Dundee School of Science and Engineering

Achieving adequate musculoskeletal tissue healing is one of the most challenging factors in the repair of orthopaedic tissues. The problem of hard-to-soft tissue fixation is the major cause of failure of replacement grafts and leads to further musculoskeletal degeneration e.g. Read more

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).

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
