Revealing the proteins that protect the heartUniversity College London | Professor Derek Yellon
Professor Derek Yellon and his colleagues at University College London (UCL) are working out which proteins can protect the heart from damage when blood supply is restored to the heart muscle after a heart attack. Damage caused by the delay...

Do RIP proteins control life and death in heart muscle cells?University of Reading | Professor Angela Clerk
Professor Angela Clerk is studying how heart muscle cells die after a heart attack to identify points where we could intervene and prevent it. The team is studying a new form of cell death called necroptosis, which could be important in the...

Developing drugs to protect against the damage caused by heart attacksUniversity College London | Professor Sean Davidson
A heart attack happens when there is a blockage in a coronary artery which supplies blood to the heart. Restoring blood flow – known as reperfusion - is an essential part of treating a heart attack, but this can itself cause a build-up of p...

Understanding how a genetic fault leads to blocked arteriesUniversity College London | Professor Ian C Zachary
Scientists have previously discovered that changes to the Bcar1 gene are linked to the development of atherosclerosis – the build-up of fatty deposits in blood vessels. But little is currently known about how these genetic changes cause th...
