In vitro studies comparing activities of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and electrochemically activated solutions (2014)
Thesis
Kamil, Z. In vitro studies comparing activities of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and electrochemically activated solutions. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/806200

Abstract There is a need for alternative “treatments” for killing microbes in wound and other body surfaces. Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (APDT) and Electrochemically Activated Solutions (ECAS) are two recent developments in the field of bioci...

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a chronic inflammatory condition which affects the elderly, causing aching and stiffness of the neck, shoulders and pelvis, as well as more systemic manifestations such as fever, malaise and fatigue. PMR shares symptom... Read More about Exploring peripheral blood mononuclear cells as the source of interleukin-6 in polymyalgia rheumatica.

The role of LPCAT in regulating cellular inflammatory responses to toll-like receptor ligands (2014)
Thesis
Hughes, J. A. The role of LPCAT in regulating cellular inflammatory responses to toll-like receptor ligands. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/817633

A novel lipid modifying enzyme, lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT), has been shown to regulate pro-inflammatory cytokine responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a key molecule in initiating sepsis. Current research has shown that phosphol... Read More about The role of LPCAT in regulating cellular inflammatory responses to toll-like receptor ligands.

The use of transposon libraries to investigate the evolution of bacterial pathogenesis (2014)
Thesis

Introduction: Diabetes affects more than 346 million individuals worldwide. Some 90% of diabetics have type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is frequently associated with obesity and hyperlipidemia as well as hyperglycaemia. There is ample evidence that...

An investigation in to the role of fatty acid binding protein-7, insulin like growth factor binding protein-2 and phosphatase and tensin homolog in triple negative breast cancer; in vitro and in vivo (2014)
Thesis
Dean, S. J. An investigation in to the role of fatty acid binding protein-7, insulin like growth factor binding protein-2 and phosphatase and tensin homolog in triple negative breast cancer; in vitro and in vivo. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/823941

Introduction Triple negative breast cancers are defined by their lack of expression of HER, oestrogen receptors and progesterone receptors. They account for around 10-24% of cases. To define a cancer by the biomarkers it does not express is unsati...
