  1. 1. Basement membrane components in the chondrocyte extracellular matrix

    Författare :Alexander Kvist; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion; nidogen; chondroitin sulfate; collagen assembly; Skeleton; muscle system; type IV collagen; laminin; perlecan; basement membranes; ECM; chondrcytes; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of macromolecules which, together with cells, forms the various tissues of all metazoan organisms. Cartilage, in contrast to most other tissues, contains relatively few cells in proportion to the volume occupied by ECM. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Basement membrane components and their receptors in organogenesis

    Författare :Katriina Salmivirta; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Basement membrane; laminin; collagen type IV; nidogen; integrin; morphogenesis; organogenesis; tooth; salivary gland; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : During embryogenesis organs are formed from epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Organogenesis is dependent on interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme. Specialized extracellular matrices, basement membranes, located between the two tissue types play a crucial role in mediating the interactions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Surface proteins of Finegoldia magna interacting with the human host

    Författare :Christofer Karlsson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Finegoldia magna; Gram-positive anaerobic cocci; surface proteins; protease; LL-37; MIG CXCL9; Fibrinogen; adhesion; gene disruption; bacterial aggregation; basement membranes;

    Sammanfattning : Finegoldia magna is a Gram-positive anaerobe and a member of the normal human microflora. This bacterium is also an opportunistic pathogen and isolated from ~10% of all anaerobic infections. Reoccurring taxonomical changes and the anaerobic growth have contributed to the neglect of F. magna. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Laminins and alpha11 integrin in the human eye : importance in development and disease

    Författare :Berit Byström; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Ulf Stenevi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; basement membranes; extracellular matrix; laminin; integrin; cornea; development; keratoconus; wound healing; remodeling; immunohistochemistry; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik;

    Sammanfattning : The extracellular matrix (ECM) offers a protective shelter for cells and provides signaling paths important for cell to cell communication. ECM consists of basement membranes (BM) and interstitial matrix. BMs provide mechanical support for parenchymal cells, influence cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Gene expression studies of pregastrulation development: the basement membrane is essential for cell differentiation

    Författare :Mikael Åkerlund; Muskelbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muscular dystrophy; development; Basement membrane; laminin; stem cells; FGF;

    Sammanfattning : Basement membranes (BMs) are sheet-like structures of extracellular matrix. They act as a supporting structure but can also significantly influence cellular behavior in development, tissue homeostasis and disease. Laminins, a major BM component, are multidomain proteins, consisting of three polypeptide chains (α, β and γ). LÄS MER
