Background

Smoking prevention should be a primary public health priority for all governments, and effective preventive policies have been identified for decades. The heterogeneity of smoking prevalence between European Union (EU) Member States the...

Armed conflict has a major impact on child health
throughout the world. One in six children worldwide lives
in an area of armed conflict and civilians are more likely
to die than soldiers as a result of the conflict. In stark
contrast to the effe... Read More about Armed conflict and child health.

The care home sector is growing an... Read More about Pneumonia and influenza: specific considerations in care homes.

Antioxidants attenuate hyperglycaemia-mediated brain endothelial cell dysfunction and blood–brain barrier hyperpermeability (2009)
Journal Article

Aims: Hyperglycaemia (HG), in stroke patients, is associated with worse neurological outcome by compromising endothelial cell function and the blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity. We have studied the contribution of HG-mediated
generation of oxidati... Read More about Antioxidants attenuate hyperglycaemia-mediated brain endothelial cell dysfunction and blood–brain barrier hyperpermeability.

Differential mechanisms of angiotensin II and PDGF-BB on migration and proliferation of coronary artery smooth muscle cells (2008)
Journal Article
Allen, C., & Bayraktutan, U. (2008). Differential mechanisms of angiotensin II and PDGF-BB on migration and proliferation of coronary artery smooth muscle cells. Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 45(2),

Angiotensin II (Ang II) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) are associated with excessive cell migration, proliferation and many growth-related diseases. However, whether these agents utilise similar mechanisms to trigger vascular patholo...
