“The response of human brain endothelium and astrocytes to vasoactive mediators”, funded by the Migraine Trust. The aim of the project is to determine how brain microvascular endothelial cells can modulate local blood flow, and contribute to the electrophysiological disturbances that underlie migraine aura. The work will use tissue culture systems to investigate the mediators released by brain endothelium. The effects of endothelin, nitric oxide and eicosanoids on the permeability of endothelium and the activation of astrocytes, will be examined in association with drugs that may be used in treating migraine. You should have a good honours degree in a biological or biomedical science, emphasis molecular cell biology. Closing date: 19 November 2007. |
