2. 1. CarcinoEmbryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule 8 (CEACAM8) : Purification, Characterization, Cellular and Clinical Studies

   Author : Linshu Zhao; Per Venge; Claes Dahlgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; human neutrophil; human eosinophil; granule proteins; CEA; CEACAM8; G-CSF; ELISA; subcellular fractionation; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

   Abstract : A 95-kDa protein was purified from normal human granulocytes. The protein reacted with a monoclonal antibody against CEACAM8. MALDI-Tof and MS/MS analyses revealed the protein to be a CGM6 gene product. Thus, the protein was proved to be identical to CEACAM8. READ MORE

4. 2. The role of cell adhesion molecules in tissue formation and organogenesis

   Author : Farzad Esni; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell adhesion cadherins N-CAM pancreas development mouse organogenesis;

   Abstract : Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are cell surface glycoproteins that promote connection between two adjacent cells or between a cell and extra cellular matrix. These interactions are essential for tissue organisation during development and for the maintenance of tissue integrity in adult organisms. READ MORE

5. 3. The synergistic role of hierarchical macro- and mesoporous implant surface and microscopic view of enhanced osseointegration

   Author : Guang Han; Zhijian Shen; Anders Palmqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Porosity; cell adhesion; cell proliferation; surface topography; implant; bone-implant interface; argon ion beam polishing; osteogenesis; osseointegration; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

   Abstract : The trend for designing of a titanium implant explored using different chemical compositions and crystallinity materials until people realized that the implant surface character was another important factor affecting the rate and extent of osseointegartion. Titanium received a macroporous titania surface layer by anodization, which contains open pores with average pore diameter around 5μm. READ MORE

6. 4. Monitoring of Cellular Dynamics with Focus on Electrochemical Detection Techniques

   Author : Arto Heiskanen; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microfluidic system; Microchip; PC12; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; Cell adhesion; Amperometry; Exocytosis; Redox environment; Cell-based assay;

   Abstract : This thesis presents work in two main areas of focus, the development of electroanalytical techniques to monitor the dynamics of cellular processes as well as design and fabrication of microelectrode chips for electrochemical detection as well as a prototype microfluidic system to be used for cell analysis and culturing. The electrochemically monitored cellular parameters were the cellular redox environment (CRE), cell adhesion and exocytosis. READ MORE

7. 5. Invasive and Metastatic Properties of Advanced Prostate Cancer

   Author : Karin Jennbacken; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Prostate cancer; Androgen-independent; Castration-resistant; Metastasis; Invasion; Lymphangiogenesis; Cell adhesion; N-cadherin; VEGF-C; MRI;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is initially androgen-dependent (AD) and therefore androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is generally used to treat advanced prostate cancer. However, the long-term treatment effects are insufficient and over time an androgen-independent (AI) tumor relapses, which is generally highly aggressive and metastatic. READ MORE
