In a new article published in Blood, the journal of the American Society of Hematology, researchers from the Department of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics (DPAG) and The Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences (NDS) at the University of Oxford present compelling evidence that challenges established notions about oxygen delivery during organ perfusion.

Researchers characterise the landscape of somatic mutations among acid-base transporters in human cancers

Publication Research

1 December 2023

A new paper lead by DPhil student Bobby White and Professor Pawel Swietach from DPAG’s Swietach Group explores the role that somatic mutations affecting plasma membrane acid-base transporters play in human cancer evolution. The team identify acid-base transporters that are essential to cancer cell survival, and those where somatic mutations are likely to play a driving role in certain cancer types.

Pioneering new software to analyse intracellular calcium signals

Cell Physiology Postdoctoral Publication Research

1 September 2023

A collaborative team of UC Davis and University of Oxford researchers have developed an innovative new software tool – SparkMaster 2 – which will enable automatic analysis of calcium sparks which are known to cause cardiac arrythmias in a variety of disease settings. First and co-corresponding author Dr Jakub Tomek, who is a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow based in DPAG's Zaccolo group, conducted this research as part of his fellowship year spent at UC Davis.

Researchers discover how cancer cells adapt under acidity

Cell Physiology EDI News Postdoctoral Publication Research

27 June 2023

New research led by Dr Johanna Michl and Professor Pawel Swietach has solved the longstanding mystery of how cancer cells are able to maintain a relatively alkaline intracellular pH, despite being surrounded by an acidic environment. A raised intracellular pH is required for cancer progression because it allows cancer cells to efficiently proliferate and metastasise. However, until now the exact molecular mechanism underlying this adaptation was unknown.
