RESEARCH
The role of interleukin 1 in the build-up of fatty plaques in blood vesselsUniversity of Sheffield | Dr Heather Wilson
A team led by Dr Heather Wilson at the University of Sheffield is interested in the role of immune cells in the circulatory system in the onset of heart and circulatory disease. Coronary heart disease occurs because of a fatty build-up, kno...

Understanding how integrin proteins regulate cells that line the blood vesselsUniversity of Cambridge | Professor Richard Farndale
Supervised by Professor Richard Farndale, the PhD student is investigating the behaviour of endothelial cells that line the inside of a blood vessel. These cells control how leaky a blood vessel is, preventing blood loss but allowing nutrie...

Investigating the molecular switch that sparks new blood vessel growthUniversity of Manchester | Dr Shane Herbert
Diseases including coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes affect our blood vessels, causing damage by limiting blood supply. One way to avoid these dangerous consequences could be to encourage healthy new blood vessels to grow. Lead by...

Finding new ways to boost blood vessel regrowth after a heart attackQueen Mary, University of London | Professor Adrian Hobbs
After a heart attack, the growth of new blood vessels into the damaged area of the heart is essential to deliver the vital oxygen and nutrients required to repair and restore its function. Despite the important role of blood vessel cells in...

Understanding how calcium pores open and close when the heart beatsUniversity of Glasgow | Dr William Fuller
When the heart beats, it’s essential that all heart muscle cells contract at the same time. To achieve this, tiny pores in the heart cells open simultaneously to allow calcium molecules to pass through, which in turn signal to the heart cel...

Does a protein called Syk offer hope for new anti-clotting drugs?University of Birmingham | Professor Stephen P Watson
Supervised by BHF Professor Stephen Watson, a PhD student is working to understand if a protein called Syk could help to prevent blood clotting. Platelets are small cells in the blood which clump together at sites of injury to prevent bloo...

Discovering more about our heartbeat – how calcium is controlled in the heart.University of Oxford | Dr Rebecca-Ann Burton
Each heartbeat is controlled by an electric signal that triggers the movement of calcium ions into the heart muscle cells. The flow of calcium ions in and out of heart muscle cells is fundamental for the control of our heartbeat. When disru...

RESEARCH
Which cells and molecules activate blood and lymph vessel growth during heart repair?University of Oxford | Professor Sarah De Val
The circulatory system transports blood around the body, but we also have a second circulatory system called the lymphatic system. This is made up of a network of vessels carrying ‘lymph’ fluid away from tissues to the lymph nodes, which co...

RESEARCH
Working out how a faulty gene can cause a cardiac arrestUniversity of Manchester | Dr Luigi Venetucci
A clinical student working with Dr Luigi Venetucci at the University of Manchester is investigating how a faulty gene that makes proteins involved in calcium release within the heart can cause irregular heart rhythms. The researchers are e...
