  1. 11. The elephant in the cell : A multifaceted undertaking to uncover the molecular principles behind lymphatic endothelial cell identity

    Författare :Virginia Panara; Katarzyna Koltowska; Taija Mäkinen; Marcel den Hoed; Sarah de Val; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lymphatic endothelium; Development; Epigenetic; Biologi med inriktning mot zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Development;

    Sammanfattning : The lymphatic vascular network is composed of a series of blind ended vessels, and is involved in physiological functions such as fluid homeostasis, lipid metabolism and immune trafficking. Despite lymphatic endothelial cells being derived from multiple organs, they share common molecular denominators, including the expression of the transcription factor Prox1.

  3. 12. Regulation of the platelet-derived growth factor β-receptor

    Författare :Catrin Molander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDGF; inflammation; TNF-a; tyrosine kinase; medulloblastoma; Myc; NF-Y; Sp1;

    Sammanfattning : Growth factors are important signalling molecules, regulating cell growth, as well as cell movement, differentiation and apoptosis. They bind to specific receptors on the cell surface causing activation of the receptors. Activated receptors then attract adaptor molecules that brings the signal further into the cell. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Caveolae associated proteins and how they effect caveolae dynamics

    Författare :Björn Morén; Richard Lundmark; Volker Haucke; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caveolae; caveolin; EHD2; cavin; microdomain; microscopy; TIRF; AFM; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Caveolae are a type of invaginated membrane domain that has been shown to be involved in several disease states, including lipodystrophy, muscular dystrophies and cancer. Several of these diseases are caused by the lack of caveolae or caveolae-related signaling deficiencies in the tissues in which the caveolar domain are abundant such as lung, adipose, muscle and their related endothelial cells.

  5. 14. Endogenous and exogenous factors affecting lipoprotein lipase activity

    Författare :Mikael Larsson; Gunilla Olivecrona; Aivar Lookene; Ira Tabas; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LPL; APOC1; APOC2; APOC3; ANGPTL4; enzyme inactivation; lipoprotein metabolism; triglycerides; fatty acids; hypertriglyceridemia; CVD; small molecule screening; structure-activity relationship; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals with high levels of plasma triglycerides are at high risk to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD), currently one of the major causes of death worldwide. Recent epidemiological studies show that loss-of-function mutations in the APOC3 gene lower plasma triglyceride levels and reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Cdc42, orchestrator of vascular morphogenesis in the retina

    Författare :Alberto Álvarez-Aznar; Konstantin Gängel; Christer Betsholtz; Taija Mäkinen; Ondine Cleaver; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cdc42; endothelial cell; pericyte; mural cell; angiogenesis; CreERT2; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Cdc42 is a small GTPase that controls many cellular functions related to cytoskeletal dynamics, such as migration, polarity, and proliferation. Despite what we know of Cdc42 in other cell types, not much research has been done on the vasculature. LÄS MER
