1. Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease : Focus on NF-κB and C/EBP transcription factors
Abstract : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among elderly. The disease is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, loss of synapses and neurons and chronic neuroinflammation. READ MORE

2. Alzheimer Aβ peptides induce dysregulation of C/EBP and NF-кB in glial cells
Abstract : Inflammation is believed to contribute to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD in turn is believed to be a consequence of accumulated amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, that subsequently form senile plaques, due to imbalance between production and clearance of Aβ. READ MORE

3. C/EBP transcription factors in lung cellular differentiation and development
Abstract : During embryonic development the lung is lined with a primitive epithelium. As development proceeds, the epithelium matures and differentiates into several cell types that together with cells of mesenchymal origin constitute the adult lung. READ MORE

4. Studies of the C/EBP family of transcription factors : cloning, regulation, and expression
Abstract : The CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein (C/EBP) family belongs to the basic leucine zipper class of transcription factors with a total of 6 members having been identified in this family so far. This gene family has been mainly implicated in regulation of cell specific gene expression and differentiation. READ MORE

5. Transcriptional regulation of differentiation markers in the distal lung epithelium : a role for C/EBP factors
Abstract : Late lung development is characterised by extensive cellular differentiation, resulting in a variety of specialised epithelial cell types. Although much is known of the extracellular signalling involved in lung morphogenesis, less is currently known of the intracellular developmental mechanisms that govern cellular differentiation.
