1. Cross-regulation between TGFβ/BMP Signalling and the metabolic LKB1 pathway
Sammanfattning : Cell signalling determines physiological responses to many cellular stimuli and environmental changes. The transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling pathways begin by binding of ligand to the heterodimeric receptor complex, followed by activation of Smads that translocate to the nucleus to regulate transcription of genes that further mediate cellular physiology.

2. The role of hyaluronan and its CD44 receptor in inflammation and cancer
Sammanfattning : Hyaluronan, an important extra-cellular matrix molecule, was thought to be interstitial connecting glue decades ago. However, recent evidence has revealed that hyaluronan and its binding proteins also play crucial roles in various pathophysiological conditions in humans, including inflammation and infection.

3. TRAF6 stimulates TGFβ-induced oncogenic signal transduction in cancer cells
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide, with 10,000 new cases/year diagnosed in Sweden. In this context, there is an urgent need to identify new biomarkers to detect prostate cancer at an initial stage for earlier treatment intervention. LÄS MER
4. Mechanisms influencing activation and survival of normal and malignant lymphoid cells in the testis
Sammanfattning : Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy and the testis is the third most common site of relapse after treatment. Testicular function is regulated by pituitary hormones, but the testicular microenvironment is also locally regulated through cell-cell interactions and by paracrine factors. LÄS MER
5. TGF-beta signaling in carcinogenic transformation of breast epithelial cells, using proteomics
Sammanfattning : Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) is a key regulator of cell proliferation, death, migration and differentiation. One of the features of TGFbeta signaling is to inhibit tumor growth at the early stage of cancer but promotes tumorigenesis at the advanced stage. LÄS MER
