Breakthrough Insights: Diffusion-Limited Oxygen Release from Stored Blood Unveiled in New Article
General Publication Research
5 December 2023
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.

New insights into chemogenetic designer drugs to enhance our study of behaviour
Publication Research Vyazovskiy Group News
10 March 2023
A collaborative team of researchers in DPAG and Pharmacology led by Dr Lukas Krone have uncovered striking new data demonstrating that two widely used designer drugs used to turn populations of neurons on and off in the brain cause unexpected effects on sleep. These results demonstrate a critical need to improve chemogenetic approaches in behavioural studies.
