University of Oxford | Professor Jurgen E Schneider

Understanding the in-depth structure of the heart is crucial to help researchers know how the heart works and develop new computer models of the heart. The way heart cells are orientated and arranged in layers within the heart muscle (the h...

University of Strathclyde | Professor Robin Plevin

CXCL12 is a molecule that causes inflammation and has been linked to the development of heart and circulatory diseases. Researchers are now interested in whether they can stop it working in blood vessel cells and whether this might help pre...

University of Bristol | Dr Rebecca Foster

Cells that line the blood vessels (endothelial cells) are coated with a protective layer of sugars, called the glycocalyx, which helps the blood vessels to function normally. In health, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) is an im...

University of Cambridge | Dr Xuan Li

Dr Xuan Li from the University of Cambridge is looking for ways to reduce inflammation, a process which is involved in the build-up of fatty plaques inside arteries. When these plaques rupture they can block blood vessels, causing a life-th...

Young people who have a sudden cardiac arrest should be offered an MRI scan of the heart called cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to diagnose the underlying cause, according to research presented at the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) Conference.

University of Bristol | Professor Ingeborg Hers

Dr Ingeborg Hers and colleagues at the University of Bristol are working out how an enzyme, called GSK3, prevents blood clotting. Platelets are small blood cells that play a crucial role in causing blood clots to form within arteries, a pro...
