Breast cancer chemotherapy, although very potent against tumour tissue, results in significant cardiovascular toxicity. The focus of research in this area has been predominantly towards cardiotoxicity. There is limited evidence detailing the impact o...

Type 1 diabetes patients increase CXCR4+ and CXCR7+ haematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells with exercise, but the response is attenuated (2021)
Journal Article
Taylor, G. S., Shaw, A., Smith, K., Capper, T. E., Scragg, J. H., Cronin, M., Bashir, A., Flatt, A., Campbell, M. D., Stevenson, E. J., Shaw, J. A., Ross, M., & West, D. J. (2021). Type 1 diabetes patients increase CXCR4+ and CXCR7+ haematopoietic and end

Background: Exercise mobilizes angiogenic cells, which stimulate vascular repair. However, limited research suggests exercise-induced increase of endothelial progenitor cell (EPCs) is completely lacking in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Clarification, along...

CD34+ progenitors are predictive of mortality and are associated with physical activity in cardiovascular disease patients (2021)
Journal Article
Muggeridge, D., Dodd, J., & Ross, M. D. (2021). CD34+ progenitors are predictive of mortality and are associated with physical activity in cardiovascular disease patients. Atherosclerosis, 333, 108-115. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2021.07.00

Background and aims Circulating progenitor cells (CPCs) play an important role in vascular repair and can influence cardiovascular (CV) health and longevity. Exercise is known to modulate these cells via mobilization from the bone marrow. The primar...

Exercise acutely increases vitamin D receptor expression in T lymphocytes in vitamin D-deficient men, independent of age (2021)
Journal Article
Lithgow, H., Florida‐James, G., Ross, M., Duncan, G., & Leggate, M. (2021). Exercise acutely increases vitamin D receptor expression in T lymphocytes in vitamin D-deficient men, independent of age. Experimental Physiology, 106(7), 1460-1469. https://doi

Vitamin D plays a key role in the modulation of the immune system, mediated through the intracellular vitamin D receptor (VDR). Exercise has been shown to influence the activity and availability of the VDR. This study aimed to investigate the effect...
