1. JNK/c-Jun Signaling and Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
Sammanfattning : The events associated with axonal injury in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) have been described in detail. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regenerative response, or neuronal cell death, following axonal injury are poorly understood. LÄS MER
2. MEKK-1 and NF-κB Signaling in Pancreatic Islet Cell Death
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease resulting in the selective destruction of the insulin producing β-cells in the pancreas. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and the free radical nitric oxide (NO) have been implicated in mediating the destruction of β-cells, possibly through activation of the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) JNK, ERK and p38.

3. Vascular and metabolic effects of selective PDE-5 inhibition - clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Vascular and metabolic effects of selective PDE-5 inhibition Clinical and experimental studies Lovisa Sjögren Department of Molecular and Clinical Medicine, Institute of Medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg Key words: Type 2 diabetes, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition, inflammation, endothelial cells, HUVEC. TNFα, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin, JNK, MAPK Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients show impaired glucose metabolism, endothelial dysfunction, chronic low-grade inflammation as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

4. Host-pathogen interactions between Francisella tularensis and Drosophila melanogaster
Sammanfattning : Francisella tularensis is a highly virulent Gram-negative bacterium causing the zoonotic disease tularemia. Arthropod-borne transmission plays an important role in transferring the disease to humans. F. LÄS MER
5. Regulation of UV induced apoptosis in human melanocytes
Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma arises from the pigment producing melanocytes in epidermis and is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. The incidence of malignant melanoma is increasing faster than any other type of cancer in white population worldwide, with a doubling rate every 10-20 years. LÄS MER
