Thesis
Tomar, N. Exploring the influence of adipokines on neuronal function in Alzheimer’s disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the major causes of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, slow neurodegenerative disease leading to memory and language impairment and amyloid-β plaques and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles are the...

Perceptions of play : using Play-Doh to enhance the student experience in bioscience higher education (2017)
Journal Article
Lace-Costigan, G. (2017). Perceptions of play : using Play-Doh to enhance the student experience in bioscience higher education. International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 7(3), 26-37. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJGBL.2017070103

Playful and kinaesthetic learning approaches are used in numerous early years (birth to 5 years old) learning environments, however studies in HE STEM disciplines are uncommon. This study aimed to explore the use of Play-Doh in an undergraduate anato... Read More about Perceptions of play : using Play-Doh to enhance the student experience in bioscience higher education.

Investigating alterations in autophagy in Alzheimer’s disease using human brain tissue and skin-derived fibroblasts
Thesis
Stan, D.-M. (in press). Investigating alterations in autophagy in Alzheimer’s disease using human brain tissue and skin-derived fibroblasts. (Thesis). University of Salford

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia, affecting 500,000 people in the UK. Pathology of AD is characterised by the accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated tau protein within neurofibrillary tangles and plaques containing amyloid-β...
