1. Cellular and molecular roles for CDC42 in angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is the physiological process by which new blood vessels grow and critically depends on the interplay between the major vascular units: endothelial cells, pericytes and smooth muscle cells. Dysfunction and mispatterning of blood vessels are associated with the progression of many vascular complications, and therefore, understanding the causes of vascular dysmorphia is a central question in vascular biology.

2. Investigating histidine-rich glycoprotein and T cell-specific adaptor as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets
Sammanfattning : The endothelial cell (EC), the most important cell type in blood vessels, lines the vessel wall and provides vessel integrity. EC function is tightly regulated, and its dysregulation is a key element in many diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer and several diseases of the eye. LÄS MER
3. TGFβ Signal Transduction in Endothelial Cells
Sammanfattning : Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a multifunctional cytokine that is involved in many biological effects, such as proliferation, migration, differentiation and cell survival. TGFβ regulates cellular responses by binding to a heteromeric complex of type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors. LÄS MER
4. Bioinformatics tools for discovery and evaluation of biomarkers : Applications in clinical assessment of cancer
Sammanfattning : Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of cells in the body and ranks as the second leading cause of death worldwide. In order to improve cancer patient care, a major focus of cancer research is to discover biomarkers. LÄS MER
5. Molecular Regulation of Angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis, de novo formation of blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is crucial in embryo development, and in processes in the adult such as wound healing and ovulation. Angiogenesis is also involved in pathological conditions such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases, which are propagated by dysregulated, excess angiogenesis. LÄS MER
