An investigation of energy saving behaviour for residential buildings in Nigeria (2023)
Thesis
Tilde, A. (2023). An investigation of energy saving behaviour for residential buildings in Nigeria. (Thesis). University of Salford

Threats of climate change, global warming and uncertainty about future energy prices have sparked a global discussion about energy efficiency, particularly energy saving behaviour in residential buildings. Numerous challenges have been faced in achie... Read More about An investigation of energy saving behaviour for residential buildings in Nigeria.

Investigating small extracellular vesicle miRNA as biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (2023)
Thesis
Aarons, T. (2023). Investigating small extracellular vesicle miRNA as biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, a syndrome impacting over 900,000 people in the UK alone. There are currently no disease modifying treatments for AD, which is largely attributable to the heterogenous basis of the disease wh...

Overcoming drug resistance: targeting the BCL-2 family and the long non-coding RNA HCP5 in medulloblastoma and colorectal cancer (2023)
Thesis
Iseghohimen, A. (2023). Overcoming drug resistance: targeting the BCL-2 family and the long non-coding RNA HCP5 in medulloblastoma and colorectal cancer. (Thesis). University of Salford

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the UK and medulloblastoma is a common cancer found in children. While there has been a progressive improvement in treatment outcomes, success has been marred by drug resistance and severe...

Population structure and introgression in wild populations of European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) (2023)
Thesis
Webb, S. G. (2023). Population structure and introgression in wild populations of European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). (Thesis). University of Salford

Escapes of domesticated fish from aquaculture followed by interbreeding with wild conspecifics pose a threat to the genetic integrity of natural populations. In addition to disease and competition, wild populations can become inundated with genetic m...

Investigating the potential of human brain tissue and patient fibroblast derived small extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer's disease research (2023)
Thesis
Youd, S. (2023). Investigating the potential of human brain tissue and patient fibroblast derived small extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer's disease research. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disease leading on to a decline in cognitive function causing language, memory and behavioural impairment. The two fam...
