  1. 11. Wnt-5a Signalling in Human Mammary Cells: Implications for the Development of Breast Cancer

    Författare :Marzieh Jönsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; signalling; breast cancer; Wnt-5a; mammary epithelial cells; cancer; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology;

    Sammanfattning : The Wnt-5a gene encodes a secreted protein that regulates several normal processes in embryonic and adult tissues by as yet unknown mechanisms. Expression of Wnt-5a protein does not cause cell transformation, but it instead counteracts the effects induced by transforming Wnts. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Pivotal role of the nuclear receptor PPARgamma in colon epithelial cells

    Författare :Emmelie Å Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : When symbiosis between the residential intestinal flora and the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract is broken one endpoint may be chronic inflammation, e.g. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The disruption of the epithelial lining elicits activation of NF-kappaB and secretion of potent inflammatory mediators. LÄS MER

  4. 13. New potential targets in medulloblastoma therapy : studies on cellular mechanisms and mediators

    Författare :Ninib Baryawno; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Medulloblastoma is an embryonal tumour that mainly affects children. It is the most common malignant brain tumour in children and accounts for 15% of all childhood brain tumours. It most often presents in the cerebellum and is considered to be a disorder of normal development. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Aniridia-related keratopathy : structural changes, signaling pathways and clinical aspects

    Författare :André Vicente; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Berit Byström; Luis Abegão Pinto; Jing-Xia Liu; Anders Ivarsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; aniridia; aniridia-related keratopathy; PAX6; keratoplasty; fetal cornea; Notch1; Wnt; sonic hedgehog; mTOR; keratocyte; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology;

    Sammanfattning : Aniridia is a congenital autosomal dominant, bilateral, panocular condition, caused by haploinsufficiency of the Pax6 transcription factor. Aniridia-related keratopathy (ARK) significantly affects vision and quality of life in these patients. LÄS MER

  7. 15. p63 and potential p63 targets in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SCCHN; p63; Cox-2; EGFR; β-catenin; PP2A; p53; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), the 6th most common cancer worldwide, has a low 5-year survival. Disease as well as treatment often causes patients severe functional and aesthetic problems. LÄS MER
