How does the nano-location of molecules in cells impact the heartbeat in heart failure?Imperial College London | Professor Julia Gorelik
Our heartbeat is under the control of molecular signalling systems in each heart muscle cell. In diseases including heart failure these systems can break down, sending the heartbeat into irregular and sometimes fatal patterns. Researchers a...

Making sure pacemakers deliver the maximum benefit for heart failure patientsImperial College London | Professor Darrel Francis
Heart failure is a condition where the heart becomes less effective at pumping blood. In some people who have heart failure, the left and right sides of the heart don’t beat in time with each other. This condition – called ‘desynchronicity’...

Using artificial intelligence to predict the underlying causes of high blood pressureUniversity of Manchester | Professor Maciej Tomaszewski
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major cause of heart attacks and strokes. Studies of the human genome have identified over a thousand differences between people’s DNA (genetic variants) that are associated with blood pressure. T...

Von Willebrand factor unfolding the clotting processImperial College London | Professor David A Lane
Following blood vessel injury, platelets are needed to form a blood clot and mend the vessel. Von Willebrand factor (VWF) a ‘sticky’ protein, helps platelets bind to the site of injury. VWF must unfold at the molecular level for this to hap...

Growing blood vessels to mend the damage caused by a heart attackNewcastle University | Professor Helen M Arthur
Many thousands of heart attack survivors go on to develop heart failure, a condition which has a detrimental effect on their quality of life. Over recent decades scientists have carried out clinical trials to try to repair damaged hearts us...

Developing a new imaging method to detect heart damage after a heart attackUniversity of Glasgow | Professor Colin Berry
Supervised by Professor Colin Berry, this Clinical Research Training Fellow is developing a new scanning technique that measures the heart’s pumping ability. This is important after a heart attack as heart pump function can help predict pro...

How blood clotting is controlled by platelets and proteins: LAIR-1 and PECAM-1University of Birmingham | Dr Alexandra Mazharian
Megakaryocytes (the cells which make platelets) have two proteins called LAIR-1 and PECAM-1 which seem to be important for keeping platelets in an inactive state in the bone marrow. Platelets help blood clotting to prevent bleeding but ...

Studying a protein that helps new blood vessels growUniversity College London | Dr Claudio Raimondi
Finding out how new blood vessels grow is important for developing treatments to restore blood flow in tissues that are starved of oxygen (ischaemic tissue). Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a protein in the endothelial cells that line the inside of...
