Central and peripheral characterisation of TLR7/8 and endocannabinoid signalling in multiple sclerosis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Physiology, 2022)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in initiating an immune response to infection or endogenous damage. These receptors are expressed on cells of both the innate and ... -
Effects on an acute priming exercise and high-intensity interval training on oxygen uptake and muscle deoxygenation kinetics in older individuals with type 2 diabetes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Physiology, 2021)Peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) is consistently reduced in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) of all ages compared with non-diabetic (ND) controls. In middle-aged (between 45 to 60 y) individuals with T2D these reductions ... -
The interactions of apolipoprotein E and inflammation in human iPSC-derived astrocytes
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Physiology, 2020)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterised histologically by the presence of extracellular plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and clinically by memory ... -
Targeting the Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Axis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Krabbe's Disease: A Pre-Clinical Study.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Physiology, 2020)Krabbe's disease (KD, globoid cell leukodystrophy) is a rare infantile neurodegenerative disorder, caused by the defective gene galc encoding the lysosomal hydrolase galactosylceramidase (GALC). A subsequent decreased ... -
Assessing Toll-like receptor 3/4 signalling as a phytocannabinoid target in immune cells
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Physiology, 2020)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the sensors of pathogen associated molecules that trigger tailored innate immune intracellular signalling responses. TLRs are expressed on cells of the immune system and play an important ...
