A cell-based study exploring novel therapeutic approaches to target cell stress and cell death pathways in paediatric cancers
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-17)Paediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children. High mortality rates and long-term effects of conventional treatments suggest an urgent need for basic and translational research to allow treatment ... -
Cellular responses to endoplasmic reticulum stress: Role of autophagy and cell death
(2014-12-03)This PhD thesis describes cellular responses to the induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, focusing on the role of autophagy and cell death. Pro-survival role of unfolded protein response (UPR) is analysed by ... -
Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress as a Component of Demyelination in Animal Models of Multiple Sclerosis
(2012-12-19)Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a homeostatic signalling pathway, linked to many neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS), which can lead to cell death when prolonged. Increasing evidence suggests that ...
