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...

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...
