Calcium flux balance in the heart: how many of the important questions are really unanswered? (2024)
Journal Article
Eisner, D. A., Greensmith, D. J., & Trafford, A. W. (2024). Calcium flux balance in the heart: how many of the important questions are really unanswered?. Journal of Physiology, https://doi.org/10.1113/jp287849

The Journal of Physiology recently published an Opinion article which criticised our interpretation of work carried out over several years relating to calcium flux balance in cardiac myocytes (Terrar, 2024). Here,
we reply and show the importance o... Read More about Calcium flux balance in the heart: how many of the important questions are really unanswered?.

The Role of Tumour Necrosis Factor-α in Coronary Artery Disease (2024)
Thesis
Staley, A. (2024). The Role of Tumour Necrosis Factor-α in Coronary Artery Disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with high rates
of mortality worldwide. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor (TNFα)
play a key role in CAD pathogenesis, though the degree to which TN... Read More about The Role of Tumour Necrosis Factor-α in Coronary Artery Disease.

Calcium signaling in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells: sex differences and the influence of estrogens and androgens (2024)
Journal Article
Asunción-Alvarez, D., Palacios, J., Ybañez-Julca, R. O., Rodriguez-Silva, C. N., Nwokocha, C., Cifuentes, F., & Greensmith, D. J. (2024). Calcium signaling in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells: sex differences and the influence of estrogens and androgens. American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 326(4), H950-H970. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpheart.00600.2023

Calcium signaling in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is essential for the regulation of vascular tone. However, the changes to intracellular Ca2+ concentrations are often influenced by sex differences. Furthermore, a...

The role of interleukin-10 in coronary artery disease (2023)
Thesis
Samphire-Noden, B. (2023). The role of interleukin-10 in coronary artery disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, accounting for 66,000 deaths annually in the UK. Atherosclerosis is the underlying pathophysiological mechanism which drives CAD progression, producing an inflamma... Read More about The role of interleukin-10 in coronary artery disease.

The effects of anthracyclines on calcium handling and contractility in sheep ventricular myocytes; role of oxidative stress (2023)
Thesis
Foster, A. (2023). The effects of anthracyclines on calcium handling and contractility in sheep ventricular myocytes; role of oxidative stress. (Thesis). University of Salford

Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN) are effective chemotherapeutics and contribute to improved cancer survival rates in children and adults. However, anthracyclines exhibit acute and chronic cardiotoxicity which can produ...

Characterisation of inflammatory mediators in ischaemic heart disease (2022)
Thesis
Borun, A. Characterisation of inflammatory mediators in ischaemic heart disease. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of death in general population. In the UK it accounts for 64000 deaths annually and there are currently 2.3 million people living with CAD. Persistent inflammation of myocardium is believ...
