Trichoplein and blood vessel health in diabetesUniversity of Edinburgh | Dr Andrea Caporali
The blood vessels in the human body are lined with a thin layer of endothelial cells. In healthy people, endothelial cells help to form new vessels by migrating and dividing. In diabetic patients, these endothelial cells are faulty and weak...

Understanding the molecular changes that could lead to aortic aneurysmKing's College London | Professor Manuel Mayr
Aneurysms are balloon-like bulges that form in blood vessels, for example in the body's main artery in the chest - the aorta. Some aneurysms may stay small but others can burst and be fatal. There are currently no effective treatments for a...

The role of oestrogen and serotonin in pulmonary arterial hypertensionUniversity of Glasgow | Professor Margaret MacLean
More than 2,000 people in the UK have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), where overactive cell growth in blood vessel walls reduces the space for blood flow in the lungs. Professor Margaret MacLean has been awarded a three-year grant to...

Understanding kugeln, a new avenue of research in stroke and dementiaUniversity of Sheffield | Professor Tim Chico
Sheffield researchers are investigating an intriguing phenomenon they discovered in blood vessels in the brain. Understanding how blood vessels develop in the brain may help us to find ways to tackle diseases including stroke and dementi...

RESEARCH
Using cord blood cells to define how NOX4 affects the growth of new blood vesselsQueen's University Belfast | Professor David Grieve
BHF-funded scientists in Belfast are investigating how to boost blood vessel growth to combat heart disease. The growth of new blood vessels is known as angiogenesis. Angiogenesis happens extensively while our bodies develop as babies an...

Understanding the role of heme in controlling blood pressureUniversity of Bristol | Professor Emma Raven
Heme is a small molecule that contains iron in the middle of it. Many different proteins in our bodies have heme bound to them - including haemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in the blood. But heme also has other roles in our cell...

Shedding light on the cause of a dangerous condition that can develop in unborn babiesSt George's, University of London | Dr Pia Ostergaard
Foetal hydrops is a rare but very serious condition in which an unborn baby accumulates excessive fluid within their body. Six out of ten babies with foetal hydrops die, and those that survive often have very severe complications. There are...

RESEARCH
A new MRI technique detecting dangerous fatty plaques that could cause strokeUniversity of Oxford | Professor Robin P Choudhury
Dr Luca Biasiolli is developing a new imaging tool to help doctors detect plaques in the carotid artery supplying blood to the brain that are most likely to rupture, leading to a stroke. Modern imaging techniques such as magnetic resonan...
