Investigating adrenoceptor subtypes as therapeutic targets in anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity
People Involved
Project Description
The proposed study will therefore involve parallel studies in both rat H9c2 myoblast cells (cardiomyocyte model) and MB-MDA-231 cells (human triple negative breast cancer cell model) to determine the effects of both activation and antagonism of adrenoceptor subtypes on anthracycline mediated effects.

Exploring the relationship between age-related zinc deficiency and obesity and the extent of myocardial damage following acute myocardial infarction Oct 1, 2018 - Jan 1, 2021
Zinc (Zn 2+) is a metal found in trace amounts in the body and plays an essential role in maintaining the healthy functioning of most organs, including the heart. The body does not store zinc in large quantities and so replenishment of Zn 2+ through...
