Details
This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2016 with a primary purpose of basic research: cardiovascular, blood and lymphatic system.
The following projects were granted:
-
cellular electrophysiology of cardiac arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular node, ion channel, myocyte, ventricular tachyarrhythmia)
-
cell mechanisms controlling small blood vessel diameter (arteries, vasodilatation, endothelium, smooth muscle)
-
genetic and pharmacological analysis of thrombosis (bleeding, thrombosis, platelets)
-
examining SLFN14 function in megakaryocytes and platelets (platelets, megakaryocytes, haemostasis, bleeding)
-
genetic and environment effects on heart development (mouse embryo, development, heart, diabetes, hypoxia)
-
image guided therapy for cardiovascular disease (imaging, heart, stroke, ischaemia, therapy)
-
gene cell therapies for ischaemic disease (myocardial infarction, ischaemia, diabetes, stem cells)
-
re-defining the roles of integrins in angiogenesis (angiogenesis, integrins, endothelium)
-
platelet formation and function in thrombosis and repair (platelets, bleeding, thrombosis, regeneration, heart-attack)
-
mechanisms of cardiovascular regeneration (regeneration, epicardium, neovascularisation, vascular protection)
-
the regulation of platelet function as a central mechanism for the control of cardiovascular function and development (platelets, thrombosis, heart attack, stroke, clotting)
-
zebrafish: development, physiology and disease modelling (zebrafish, development, physiology, disease, transgenic)
-
regulation of leukocyte-endothelial interactions (inflamation, atherosclerosis, leukocytes)
-
cardiac remodelling and heart failure (atrial fibrillation, heart failure, ion channel, myocyte, ventricular tachyarrhythmia)
-
morphogenesis during early mammalian development (embryo, congenital defect, cell movement)
