The Endocannabinoid, Anandamide, Induces Cannabinoid Receptor-Independent Cell Death in Renal Proximal Tubule Cells (2017)
Journal Article

Background: The endocannabinoid (EC) system is well characterized in the central nervous system but scarcely studied in peripheral organs. In this paper, we newly identify the effect of the EC anandamide (AEA) upon renal proximal tubule cells. Meth...

Age-dependent plasticity in endocannabinoid modulation of pain processing through postnatal development (2017)
Journal Article

Significant age and experience-dependent remodelling of spinal and supraspinal neural networks occur resulting in altered pain responses in early life. In adults endogenous opioid peptide and endocannabinoid (ECs) pain control systems exist which mod...

Remote Ischaemic Conditioning after Stroke Trial (RECAST): a pilot randomised placebo controlled phase II trial in acute ischaemic stroke (ISRCTN 86672015) (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Repeated episodes of limb ischaemia and reperfusion (remote ischaemic conditioning, RIC) may improve outcome after acute stroke. Methods: We performed a pilot blinded placebo-controlled trial in patients with acute ischaemic stroke, ra...
