This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2014 with a primary purpose of basic research: sensory organs (skin, eyes and ears), forensic enquiries and other research.

The following projects were granted:

• genetics and biology of parasitic nematodes (parasitic nematodes, rodents)

• Notch-Wnt interaction in embryonic development (Notch, Wnt, endocytosis, pluripotency, stem cells)

• malaria parasite development and drug discovery (plasmodium, malaria, genetics, antimalarial, mosquito)

• centrosome biology in mammalian development, ageing and stem cell function (development, stem cells, ageing, cell division)

• production and maintenance of GA rodents (production, maintenance, genetically altered rodents)

• generation of transgenic mice for gene manipulation (transgenic, gene targeting, knockout, embryonic stem cells)

• re-derivation of mouse strains (re-derivation; superovulation; embryo transfer)

• identification of immunological targets for developing new agents to prevent corneal transplant rejection (immunological, agents, corneal, transplant, rejection)

• mechanisms of movement generation and inhibition (motor cortex, mirror neurons, movement inhibition, subthalamic nucleus, hyperdirect pathway)

• responses to centrifuge-induced hypergravity (mouse, biomechanics, posture, gait; locomotion)

• pharmacokinetics and metabolism studies (metabolism, pharmacokinetics, regulatory, ADME, non-clinical)

• technical development of preclinical imaging (imaging, non-invasive, quantitative, longitudinal)

• doping/medication control for British horseracing (anti-doping, medication, equine, detection time, control)

• neuroimmune interactions (cytokine, brain, liver, microglia, astrocyte)

• anti-angiogenics in retinal neovascularisation and neuroprotection (retina, angiogenesis, neuroprotection)

• object recognition by zebrafish visual system (zebrafish, vision, in vivo imaging, classical conditioning)

• understanding and manipulating proteostasis (neurodegeneration, chaperone, blindness, virus, stem cell)

• regulation of inflammation in wound repair (chronic wounds, inflammation, diabetes)

• developing therapies for inner ear disorders (hearing, deafness, balance)

• vocal and social learning of avian calls (learning, vocalisation, mobbing, birds)

• eye lens shape and form (eye lens cataract accommodation, radiosensitivity)
