The role of a tiny RNA in abdominal aortic aneurysmsKing's College London | Dr Anna Zampetaki
Dr Anna Zampetaki at King's College London has gathered evidence that a MicroRNA, miR-195 is involved in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). MicroRNAs alter the levels of proteins in and around cells (in the extracellular matrix), and by inve...

What cell types ultimately form new blood vessels?University College London | Dr Alice Plein
Dr Alice Plein from University College London is studying how the cells lining blood vessels form as embryos develop. She is looking for ways to control new blood vessel growth during heart and circulatory diseases. As the embryo develop...

How calcium sensing receptors relax blood vesselsSt George's, University of London | Professor Anthony Albert
This studentship will research how calcium sensing receptors found on the surface of cells lining the blood vessels (endothelial cells) regulate contraction and relaxation of blood vessels. The team believes that one way in which calcium s...
