RESEARCH
Building 3-D blood vessels to study blood clottingKeele University | Professor Ying Yang
In this PhD studentship the researchers will grow human blood vessels in the laboratory from cells taken from human donors. They propose that the 3-D engineered blood vessels can be used to study the process of blood clotting. Platelets are...

How dying cells inflame fatty plaques in atherosclerosisUniversity of Cambridge | Dr Murray Clarke
Heart attacks are caused by rupture of abnormal thickenings (atherosclerotic plaques) that form within the coronary artery wall, leading to clots that block blood flow. One cause of plaque rupture is thought to be the loss of muscle cells, ...

RESEARCH
Investigating a protein that promotes blood vessel repairKing's College London | Dr Lingfang Zeng
Dr Lingfang Zeng and his team at King’s College London study the cells that make up the inner lining of blood vessels (the endothelium).These cells, called endothelial cells, do not work correctly in several heart and circulatory diseases, ...

Which proteins determine the correct function of artery cells?University of Cambridge | Professor Christopher W J Smith
Professor Christopher Smith and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge are studying a group of proteins that help to determine the correct function of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) that line arteries. DNA is a chemical code th...
