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

  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).

Using Exposome, Omics, and AI to Develop a Digital Platform for Tailoring the Care of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by social impairments, repetitive behaviours, and restricted interests [1]. Over the past 20 years, there is a significant increase in the incidence of Autism spectrum disorders in the UK [1]. Read more

Targeting the MAPK scaffold protein KSR1 for the treatment of prostate cancer

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of male cancer deaths. It arises when individual cells escape their normal growth control mechanisms and proliferate in an uncontrolled fashion. Read more

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

  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

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

Therapeutic resolution of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by natural products

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating cardiovascular disorder which, if left untreated, leads to heart failure and death. Read more

Therapeutic resolution of coronavirus (COVID-19) diseases by natural products

  Research Group: Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
Coronavirus now labelled as Covid-19 has become a global pandemic affecting around 200 countries. Currently neither any cure nor any vaccine for Covid-19 has been established. Read more

The role of vitamin D3 in treating skin cancer and preventing drug resistance

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
During the last decade numerous studies have alluded to vitamin D. 3. playing a role in the prevention of cancer. Recent clinical trials looking at the potential role of vitamin D. Read more

The role of ageing cutaneous fibroblasts in modulating melanocyte pigmentation

  Research Group: Centre for Skin Sciences
The aim of the project is to gain an understanding of how aged skin fibroblasts and their secretory phenotype contribute to ageing pigmentation and commonly associated disorders. Read more

Techno‐Economic Impact of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

  Research Group: Mechanical and Process Engineering
The reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases is agreed in November 2016 in the Paris international agreement (IEA Dec. 2016). The agreement is expected to create a transformative change in the energy sector to combat climate change. Read more

Responsible AI for Health and Social Care

The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies that could impact humanity raises increasing concerns from general public, industry and regulatory bodies. Read more

Polysialyltransferases as a target in metastatic cancer

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases. Read more

Pathways to a healthy lifespan: investigating the exceptional fertility of Naked Mole Rats

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
As women age, their reproductive system undertakes significant changes that impact on their fertility and overall health. Despite its importance to society, research that could delay or limit these impacts on women’s health is held back by a lack of suitable models. Read more
