Apoptosis and its association with immunomodulation and disease in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)
Thesis
(2013). Apoptosis and its association with immunomodulation and disease in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Stimulating the Immune system of fish by oral administration of immunomodulatory substances can prevent disease outbreaks in aquaculture. Yeast p( l ,3/1 ,6)-glucan, the active ingredient of the commercially available feed supplement MacroGard®, has...

Determinants of severity and co-morbidity in rheumatoid arthritis: influence of genetic variation and smoking
Thesis
(2011). Determinants of severity and co-morbidity in rheumatoid arthritis: influence of genetic variation and smoking

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by chronic synovial inflammation, ultimately leading to joint destruction and permanent disability. Disease expression may be affected by genetic variations and environmental fa...

Assessment of the radial artery access site and its use in invasive cardiac procedures
Thesis
(2013). Assessment of the radial artery access site and its use in invasive cardiac procedures

Vascular access via the radial artery has recently been shown to reduce access site related vascular complications but is associated with a significant learning curve. Radial artery spasm, arterial puncture failure, vascular anomalies, failure to rea... Read More about Assessment of the radial artery access site and its use in invasive cardiac procedures.

Applications of magnetic particles for oligodendrocyte precursor cell transplantation strategies
Thesis
(2013). Applications of magnetic particles for oligodendrocyte precursor cell transplantation strategies

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are a major transplant population to promote myelin repair and central nervous system (CNS) regeneration in conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and spinal cord injury. Magnetic particles (MPs) can offer a mult... Read More about Applications of magnetic particles for oligodendrocyte precursor cell transplantation strategies.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: exploration of aberrant epithelial wound repair and stem cell-mediated regenerative approaches
Thesis
(2013). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: exploration of aberrant epithelial wound repair and stem cell-mediated regenerative approaches

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal form of fibrotic lung disease. The pathogenesis of IPF is unclear. An aberrant alveolar epithelial wound repair is likely to be involved in the disease process. Alveolar bronchiolisation, a process where...

Volatile biomarkers emitted by cell cultures: headspace analysis using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS
Thesis
(2013). Volatile biomarkers emitted by cell cultures: headspace analysis using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry, SIFT-MS

The work presented in this thesis was initiated in order to develop a non-invasive real-time gas phase analytical technique, based on selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), for monitoring the progression of human cell cultures and the de...

Identification, semi-synthesis and evaluation of anti-ovarian cancer compounds from plants used in traditional medicines
Thesis
(2017). Identification, semi-synthesis and evaluation of anti-ovarian cancer compounds from plants used in traditional medicines

Ovarian cancer is the second leading cause of death among women in the gynaecological category of cancers. The current post surgery treatment which involves the use of platinum-based therapy with its attendant adverse drug-resistance often results in...

Engineering neural cells in implantable materials
Thesis
(2017). Engineering neural cells in implantable materials

A key goal in regenerative therapy is to improve outcomes following the devastating consequences of spinal cord injury. Yearly, between 250,000 to 500,000 people suffer permanent injury to the spinal cord. The cost to the individual, their families a...

The combination of polyhydroxyalkanoates, collagen and stem cells for application in tendon tissue engineering
Thesis
(2013). The combination of polyhydroxyalkanoates, collagen and stem cells for application in tendon tissue engineering

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biopolymer molecules that have shown increasing evidence of suitability for use as biomaterials. Many different cell types from a range of species have been shown to adhere and develop on PHA scaffolds, with some prel...
