Determining metabolic reprogramming events in stem cells in response to inflammatory disease phenotype

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are responsible for the repair of damaged tissue following injury and disease as well as moderating innate and adaptive immune responses and regulation of self-tolerance and tissue homeostasis. Read more

Helminth products as macrophage “trainers”: a novel tool to induce anti-inflammatory trained immunity

Kingston University Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education

The innate immune system can display characteristics of immunological memory. This phenomenon, termed “trained immunity”, refers to the long-term functional reprogramming of innate immune cells after the encounter with infectious or non-infectious agents that influences their capacity to respond to a secondary stimulus.

SLS 3: Investigating the anti-inflammatory effects of artemisinin compounds on macrophages under systemic inflammatory conditions

University of Westminster School of Life Sciences

Artemisinin compounds are safe and effective antimalarials. Recent evidence in our lab has shown these compounds also exert a potent anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting neutrophil migration and the release of cytokines, chemokines and neutrophil extracellular traps. Read more

Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases

University of Reading School of Pharmacy

Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more

MSc by Research: Nutrient-dependent regulation of microglia function and immune responses

University of Dundee School of Life Sciences

Microglia are constantly sensing the brain environment for metabolic changes, damage and pathogenic invasion. Microglia are highly metabolically active, with activation in response to inflammatory stimulation increasing glycolytic demand. Read more
