Beat-to-beat modulation of Calcium-induced Calcium release in cardiac muscle
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Contraction in the heart is well known to be dependent on a transient rise in intracellular calcium concentration. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Asymmetric catalysis using environmentally benign calcium complexes
Dr Ben Ward http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/38527-ward-benjamin is looking for a PhD student to work on the research project ’Asymmetric catalysis using environmentally benign calcium complexes’. Read more
Cancer: Investigation of accentuated mitochondrial ROS and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in cystic fibrosis and colorectal carcinoma.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with an accentuated inflammatory response to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), increased resting energy expenditure and a higher than expected prevalence of gastrointestinal and other malignancies. Read more
The role of calcium signalling in regulating of tumour cell behaviour
Metastasis is the major cause of mortality in human cancers, yet we know relatively little of the fundamental biology that underlies the important transition to invasive malignancy. Read more
Regulation of mitosis through centrosomal calcium signals and coupled actin dynamics
Background. Cell division and mitosis are at the centre of development and often dysregulated in diseases associated with ageing, like cancer. Read more
PhD position: Calcium channels in congenital stationary night blindness
Photoreceptors are morphologically and physiological highly specialized light sensing cells of the retina where sustained release of glutamate from ribbon synapses is calcium dependent and L-type calcium channels (LTCC) serve as the predominant source for Ca2+ entry. Read more
Towards More Understanding of Aggregation and Scaling of Calcium Carbonate in the Petroleum Production Facility
The scale deposition and aggregation of calcium carbonate in the production facility is challenging problem in the petroleum industry. Read more
Development of a Long Acting Parathyroid Hormone Fusion for the Treatment of Hypoparathyroidism
Background. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an 84 aa peptide produced by the parathyroid glands and is responsible for calcium homeostasis. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD studentship - Calcium signalling in In-Vitro Fertilization: developing a non-invasive diagnostic tool
IVF is the primary treatment of infertility with ~2.5 million treatments and ~500,000 births annually. The success rate has been ~25% for many decades but it has been decreasing while the IVF industry is projected to grow to 37.7 billion (USD) by 2027 with an ~10% annual growth rate. Read more
Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel antimalarials based on fendiline
Malaria is a life-threatening, infectious disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. In 2022 more than 249 million cases were reported globally, with an estimated 608 000 deaths (WHO, 2023). Read more
Alterations in reparative dentinogenesis with ageing, gender and genetic predisposition
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Dental pulp exposure caused by tooth decay or injury can lead to life-threatening infections. Following injury, reparative dentinogenesis serves a vital purpose through the accelerated generation of tertiary dentine, comprising mineral and type I collagen. Read more
Characterisation of adrenoceptor and muscarinic receptor subtypes coupled to potassium channels in chondrocytes from bovine cartilage
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Several outward potassium currents have been identified in bovine chondrocytes (review Mobasheri et al. 2012). These include ATP-sensitive and a Calcium-activated potassium currents (Sanches & Lopez-Zapata, 2011). Read more
Improvements of asparaginase-based treatment for Childhood ALL
Project Description. Most popular current treatments for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in clinic are based on asparaginase (Raja et al 2012). Read more
1 Year: MRes Project: Development of High-Strength Self-Compacting Concrete Incorporating Recycled Aggregates and Pozzolana
The construction industry is rapidly advancing, with increasing emphasis on sustainability, strength, and efficiency. High-strength self-compacting concrete (HSSCC) plays a pivotal role in this evolution, offering significant advantages for modern infrastructure. Read more
Investigating the role of P2X7 receptor intracellular domains in cell signalling
Project description. P2X7 receptors are ion channels that are found on the surface of immune cells, where they respond to the binding of extracellular ATP, a damage signal released by dying cells in infection and injury. Read more
