The role of dysregulated autophagy in Alzheimer's disease (2017)
Thesis

Introduction: The accumulation of misfolded Aβ and phospho-tau are characteristic features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. One of the cellular mechanisms responsible for the removal of these aggregates is autophagy, where proteins and organel... Read More about The role of dysregulated autophagy in Alzheimer's disease.

The role of increased hBCATm in the endothelial cells of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (2017)
Thesis

Introduction and aims: The branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) enzymes are important in the regulation of brain L-glutamate. A unique function of these aminotransferases is their regulation by the redox environment, where our group have shown thei...

Determination of caffeine and paracetamol in Bristol harbour water by LC/MS/MS (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Anthropogenic inputs such as caffeine and paracetamol can be used as possible chemical markers of sewage pollution as their presence can be presumed to result from human sewage inputs. In this present investigation we determined the concentrations... Read More about Determination of caffeine and paracetamol in Bristol harbour water by LC/MS/MS.
