16. A genome-wide screen for essential genes that controls the formation of human heart progenitors
Sammanfattning : The heart is a complex organ system composed of multiple types of tissues. These tissues are produced by a diverse set of muscle and non-muscle cells, originated from a few pools of progenitors. LÄS MER
17. Mechanisms of therapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Sammanfattning : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a highly aggressive pediatric cancer that can affect both B cells and T cells. The advent of new therapies has increased the cure rates for both B-ALL and T-ALL patients. However, some patients still experience relapse with a variable response to the treatment and display poor survival. LÄS MER
18. A frizzled quest to dissect the molecular pharmacology of WNT signaling : from biology to signaling mechanism(s)
Sammanfattning : The wingless/int1 (WNT)/Frizzled (FZD) family of signal transduction pathways is highly conserved across species and controls essential physiological functions important for embryonic development, stem cell renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and cell polarity. Dysregulation of these signaling pathways leads to developmental abnormalities or other conditions such as inflammation, cancer, or neurological disorders. LÄS MER
19. Developmental exposure to mixtures of environmental pollutants : Studies on metabolism, developmental processes, and reproductive organs in zebrafish and chicken embryos
Sammanfattning : Humans and wildlife are continuously exposed to mixtures of environmental pollutants. Mixture toxicity can be challenging to predict due to interactions between chemicals and thus whole-mixture approaches are crucial in toxicology. LÄS MER
20. WNT signaling in microglia : WNTs as novel regulators of microglia
Sammanfattning : Microglia, the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and the brain’s own macrophages are the most motile cells in the CNS and those with highest plasticity, as they rapidly move their projections to actively screen their environment for any type of injury. Upon cell damage or infection, microglia respond quickly: they proliferate, change morphology from ramified to amoeboid state to migrate or invade towards the injury, secrete many types of cytokines and chemokines to communicate with other inflammatory cells, and phagocytose cell debris.
