  1. 6. Clinical and molecuar studies of papillary thyroid carcinoma : with an emphasis on prognostic factors

    Författare :Petra Kjellman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Papillary thyroid carcinoma; MIB-1; RET-proto-oncogene; RET PTC; CGH; prognosis;

    Sammanfattning : Thyroid cancer accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers reported. In Sweden 45/100, 000 inhabitants annually present with thyroid carcinoma. There are four different variants of thyroid carcinoma: papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Molecular genetic studies of human thyroid tumors

    Författare :Tony Frisk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Follicular thyroid tumors; tumor progression; Cowden disease; PTEN; CGH; RET; medullary thyroid carcinoma; MEN 2; anaplastic carcinoma.;

    Sammanfattning : Tumors of the thyroid gland are common among the general population, but only a small proportion is malignant. The vast majority of thyroid tumors are benign, so called follicular adenomas. Sometimes subtypes such as atypical adenomas and adenomas with oxyphil, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor : expression patterns, neuronal transport, regulation, effects, and receptor dependence

    Författare :Andreas C Tomac; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor GDNF ; neurturin NTN ; persephin PSP ; c Ret proto oncogene Ret ; GPI-linked receptors for the GDNF ligand family GFRas ; transforming growth factor-B TGFB ; Parkinson s disease PD ; dopaminergic DA neurons;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The mammalian nervous system depends upon trophic proteins for survival, growth and adult maintenance. These trophic factors have also been considered as potential therapeutic agents for treating human neurodegenerative disorders. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Pheochromocytoma and abdominal paraganglioma : clinical and genetic aspects

    Författare :Elisabet Edström Elder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Pheochromocytomas; abdominal paragangliomas; RET; MEN 2A; tumour development; chromosome 1; comparative genomic hybridisation; in situ hybridization; loss of heterozygosity.;

    Sammanfattning : Pheochromocytomas and abdominal paragangliomas are rare catecholamine producing tumours arising from sympathoadrenal paraganglia located within and outside of the adrenal medulla, respectively. The great majority of tumours are benign and cured by surgery. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Control of neuronal survival, migration and outgrowth by GDNF and its receptors

    Författare :Maurice Perrinjaquet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is the prototypical member of a family of growth factors that are indispensable in nervous system development and maintenance. GDNF signals by binding to a multi-component receptor complex comprised of the ligand-binding subunit GFRα1 and the signaling subunit RET or NCAM. LÄS MER
