1. 26. Altered cell signaling linked to neurodegeneration : Studies on scrapie-infected neuroblastoma cells and activated microglia

   Författare :Christina Svensson; Tiit Land; Gianluigi Forloni; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prion disease; Inflammation; MAPK; Microglia activation; Neuroblastoma; Neurochemistry; Neurokemi; Neurochemistry and Neurotoxicology; neurokemi och neurotoxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders that can affect humans and animals. The underlying event is a conformational change of the normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) into an aberrant isoform termed PrP-scrapie (PrPSc). PrPSc is thought to lead to neurodegeneration and activation of glial cells. LÄS MER

3. 27. TGF-B signaling in Neuroblastoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma

   Författare :Anna-Karin Boström; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Renal Cell Carcinoma; ATN; Regeneration; Notch; TGF-B; EMT; Neuroblastoma; MYCN; miR-17-92;

   Sammanfattning : The tubular cells of the adult kidney are normally mitotically quiescent, in stark contrast to the massive regenerative capacity of the injured renal epithelium. In Paper I we characterized a new cell population of progenitor cells using ALDH as a selection marker. LÄS MER

4. 28. Identification and characterization of candidate genes for neuroblastoma development

   Författare :Cecilia Krona; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cancer; tumor; child; embryonal; neural crest; neuroblastoma; chromosome 1; 1p36; mutation; expression; tumor suppressor gene; UBE4B; KIF1B; PGD; CORT; DFFA; PEX14; ICAT; CASP9; ENO1; MBP1; APITD1; PHOX2B;

   Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common tumor during infancy. It arises from undifferentiated cells in the sympathetic nervous system and is characterized by both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. One of the features of NBs with unfavorable outcome is loss on distal chromosome 1p. LÄS MER

5. 29. Effects of arsenic trioxide and hypoxia in multidrug-resistant neuroblastoma

   Författare :Jenny Karlsson; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; Clinical biology; neuroblastoma; multidrug resistance; hypoxia; glucose-deficiency; cell death; Bax; Apoptosis; arsenic trioxide;

   Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumour derived from the sympathetic nervous system. Although most children with neuroblastoma initially respond to treatment, approximately 50% of these patients relapse with multidrug-resistant tumours. Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has been used for centuries to treat different clinical disorders including malignancies. LÄS MER

7. 30. Molecular characterization of neuroblastoma tumors - a basis for personalized medicine

   Författare :Hanna Kryh; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroblastoma; Cancer; Tumor; SNP-array; Micro array; DNA copy number;

   Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma is a very heterogeneous tumor, with a clinical course ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive tumor growth. A proper stratification of the patients into different risk groups is therefore important in order to provide the most suitable treatment for each patient. LÄS MER
