Alterations in Autophagy Marker Distribution in Different Genetic Subtypes of Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (2023)
Thesis

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common type of early-onset dementia and is characterised by impairments in language and behavioural changes whilst memory is normally well preserved; it can be clinically subdivided into behavioural va...

Apropos of Everything: Navigating Life with Genre (AoE) is a hybrid critical/creative portfolio which proposes a new theory of Genre, Creativity and Consciousness, named The Social Consciousness Theory (SoCo). By reclaiming and recalibrating the conc... Read More about Apropos of everything: navigating life with genre.

Exploring the influence of adipokines on neuronal function in Alzheimer’s disease (2021)
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...

Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations (2020)
Thesis

Toxoplasma gondii is a highly prevalent opportunistic protozoan parasite that has a remarkable capacity to infect humans and a range of warm-blooded animals. This research had two broad aims. Firstly, to investigating whether detection of T. gondii i...

Investigating alterations in autophagy in Alzheimer’s disease using human brain tissue and skin-derived fibroblasts
Thesis

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...
