Unravelling the role of Lrig2 during neuromuscular development

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Motor nerves connect the spinal cord and brain with muscles in our face, arms, legs and internal organs. The motor nerves send signals which tell these muscles to contract. Read more

Targeting dormant cancer cells in myeloma

University of Sheffield School of Medicine and Population Health

Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer and remains essentially incurable. Chemotherapy is effective at reducing tumour and extends survival, but it never fully eradicates disease, so patients face inevitable relapse. Read more

Preclinical testing of collagen synthesis inhibitors for fibrotic disease

University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology

Fibrotic disease is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which then impedes tissue function. Organ fibrosis specifically kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis and lung fibrosis have limited treatment options, pose a huge clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases. Read more
