  1. 1. Paracellular permeability of intestinal epithelia.An in vivo study

    Författare :Britt-Marie Fihn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :paracellular permeability; intestinal epithelia; deoxycholic acid; cholera toxin; glucose absorption; water transport;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: Investigate the importance of paracellular transport of water and solutes during physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Methods: The transport of small water-soluble inert permeability markers, was studied in jejunum and colon in anesthetized rats and cats during normal conditions and during exposure to cholera toxin (CT) and deoxycholic acid (DCA).

  3. 2. Hair cell regeneration in vestibular epithelia : a study in an in vitro model

    Författare :Mimmi Werner; Diana Berggren; Andrew Forge; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vestibular hair cell; regeneration; transdifferentiation; proliferation; utricle; rat; oto-rhino-laryngologi; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology;

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundHair cells (HCs) are the sensory receptors in both the auditory and the vestibular organs of the inner ear. Supporting cells (SCs) are non-sensory cells embracing the HCs. Injuries of the HCs by aging, acoustic trauma or ototoxic drugs (mainly aminoglycosides, e.g. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Functional Aspects of Epithelia in Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma

    Författare :Zhanna Servetnyk; Godfried Roomans; Michael Wilschansky; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Cell biology; cystic fibrosis; CFTR; chloride transport; airway epithelium; sweat gland; asthma; corticosteroids; montelukast; Cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP activated chloride channel in the apical membrane of epithelial cells, is defective in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Research efforts are focused on chloride channel function in order to find a cure for the disease. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Role of estrogen receptor beta in epithelia lacking estrogen receptor alpha expression

    Författare :Andrea Morani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Estrogen Receptors; Extracellular Matrix; Prostate Cancer; Lung Diseases; Ovarian Follicle;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens influence the physiology of many organs by activation of the nuclear receptors ERalpha and ERbeta. The epithelium of ventral prostate, ovarian granulosa cells and lung, are ERalpha-negative but express high levels of ERbeta. This thesis focuses on the role played by ERbeta in ERalpha-negative epithelium. LÄS MER
