PhD Project - Ageing of the human heelpad: tissue properties and gait biomechanics at University of Liverpool, listed on FindAPhD.com

Using a cross-disciplinary suite of methods to study a broad range of fossil giants alongside their living, non-giant relatives, Philip Cox and his team aim to determine if a rule governs how and why ...

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Abstract. The mammalian inner ear is traditionally divided into two systems: the peripheral vestibular system (for balance) and the cochlea (for hearing).

Abstract figure legend There has been controversy about the structural (capillary) response of skeletal muscle to altered O2 status, involving decreased supply (hypoxia) or increased demand (activity...

Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

PhD Project - (BBSRC NWD CASE) Selective breeding vs natural selection: how does body shape influence locomotor biomechanics in domesticated dogs and other mammals? at University of Liverpool, listed ...

Ian Chapman backs ministers’ calls for more research specialisation by universities in first public comments since taking over at £9 billion-a-year research funder

By James Charles Since the dawn of civilisation, humans have pondered the question: do Dachshunds move the same as German Shepherds? Ponder no longer. Starting in July 2023, myself, Prof Karl Bates…

The ankylosaurian dinosaur Spicomellus afer possessed a tail weapon and uniquely elaborate dermal armour.

Anatomy of the intracranial joint and the 2D semi-landmarks used to capture complexity in the intracranial joint. (a) The intracranial joint can be seen here (in red) between the parietal and occipit...

A landmark study reporting the discovery of Australopithecus africanus one century ago put the African continent at the centre of the story of humanity.

We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the mo...

The executive cadre clearly didn’t see the crises around revenue, leadership and public standing coming, say Hamish Coates and Leo Goedegebuure

The idea that evolution is driven by an organism’s development — not just the natural selection of its genes — challenges a dearly held orthodoxy among evolutionary biologists.

Conventionally, the size, shape, and biomechanics of cartilages are determined by their voluminous extracellular matrix. By contrast, we found that multiple murine cartilages consist of lipid-filled c...

Research funding systems fundamentally influence how science operates. This paper aims to analyze the allocation of competitive research funding fr...
