Molecular Mechanisms of Presynaptic Plasticity and Function in the Mammalian Brain
(2018-04-28)Synaptic plasticity describes efficacy changes in synaptic transmission and ranges in duration from tens to hundreds of milliseconds (short-term), to hours and days (long-term). Short-term plasticity plays crucial roles ... -
The subnuclear localisation of Notch responsive genes
(2018-05-19)Title: The subnuclear localisation of Notch responsive genes. Candidate Name: Matthew Jones Notch signalling is a highly conserved cell-cell communication pathway with critical roles in metazoan development and mutations ... -
The localisation and role of Sidekick at apical vertices in Drosophila epithelial morphogenesis
(2018-05-31)During animal development, epithelial tissues undergo morphogenesis in order to build tissues, organs and body structure. A key driving force in epithelial morphogenesis is cell rearrangement, which results from the ... -
Oxygen Transport in the Human Placenta: A Multi-Physics Modelling Approach
(2018-05-19)Novel techniques, mainly three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions from image stacks and finite element analysis (FEA), were combined to study the oxygen transport mechanism in the human placenta and its relationship to ...
