11. The expression and regulation of hyaluronan synthases and their role in glycosaminoglycan synthesis
Sammanfattning : The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan is an essential component of the extracellular matrix in all higher organisms, affecting cellular processes such as migration, proliferation and differentiation. Hyaluronan is synthesized by a plasma membrane bound hyaluronan synthase (HAS) which exists in three genetic isoforms. LÄS MER
12. Transcriptional regulation of mouse ribonucleotide reductase
Sammanfattning : All living organisms are made of cells and they store their hereditary information in the form of double stranded DNA. In all organisms DNA replication and repair is essential for cell division and cell survival. These processes require deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), the building blocks of DNA. LÄS MER
13. Roles of Heparan Sulfate in Amyloid-β Pathology and Hypoxia
Sammanfattning : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a highly sulfated polysaccharide expressed on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, interacting with a large number of proteins. HS is implicated in human diseases, including different types of cancer and amyloid diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). LÄS MER
14. The megalin receptor
Sammanfattning : Ionized calcium is a major player in the living organism. Its importance in both intra- and extracellular mechanisms have been studied in a broad number of publications. LÄS MER
15. Decoding Heparan Sulfate
Sammanfattning : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide of glycosaminoglycan type composed of alternating hexuronic acid [either glucuronic acid (GlcA) or iduronic acid (IdoA)] and glucosamine (GlcN) units that can be sulfated in various positions. HS binds to a large number of proteins and these interactions promote many biological processes, including cell adhesion and growth factor signaling. LÄS MER
