Scaffolding recovery from alcohol and drug addiction through systematic engagement with pro-recovery online communities

Substance use disorders exact a huge toll on individuals, their families and the community at large. This manifests as increased physical and psychological morbidity and mortality, and greater involvement in crime. Read more

Expanding the ligandable E3 ubiquitin ligases for targeted protein degradation

Out of more than 600 E3 ubiquitin ligases in cells, currently only a handful have small molecule binders that can be used for PROteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and harnessed for targeted protein degradation. Read more

Evaluating the Just Transition to effect policy change

It is an undeniable fact that the world faces environmental and climate crises of epic proportions. What is also clear to see is the social and political impacts of these crises across states and societies. Read more

Regulation of protein palmitoylation in the heart by persulphidation

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is known to have cardioprotective qualities. Persulphidation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) in which a persulphide group is formed by the reaction of H2S with the thiol groups of cysteine residues in proteins. Read more

The impact of social media networking on early career researchers’ wellbeing

Early career researchers’ wellbeing has been addressed by several studies, in terms of what factors could impact their wellbeing, what favoured elements could be present in their work environment to promote their academic progress. Read more

Investigation of short-term effects of colchicine on blood proteins using proteomics

The anti-inflammatory medication colchicine has been shown to significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes post heart attack and in chronic heart disease patient groups, suggesting it may be a suitable candidate for repurposing in cardiovascular diseases. Read more

Vascularisation of tumour organoids for mechanistic and drug development

Gliomas such as are the most common form of brain tumour, a subset Glioblastoma (GBM) are devastating adult brain cancer with high rates of recurrence and treatment resistance. Read more

The Holistic Microbiome in Health and Disease: Linking the Oral, Gut and Respiratory Microbiomes

The human gut microbiome is recognised as a major determinant of health and disease. Studies to date, including those of the international Human Microbiome Project, have largely focused on individual body sites such as nose or mouth or faeces. Read more

Molecular characterisation of post-tuberculous bronchiectasis

Tuberculosis is a major health problem is Iraq and globally. While treatment of TB, including MDR TB has greatly improved resulting in high rates of clinical cure, many patients with TB are left with persisting lung disease including airflow obstruction and bronchiectasis. Read more
