  2. 1. Regulation of PDGFRβ signaling 

    Author : Piotr Wardęga; Johan Lennartsson; Edvard Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PDGF; HD-PTP; Alix; Cbl; Ub; Fer; Y857; Y771; downregulation; degradation; ubiquitination; activation loop; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) isoforms, which bind to closely related a- and b-tyrosine kinase receptors, induce migration, proliferation, survival and differentiation of mesenchymal cells. They signal by the active receptor attracting Src homology 2 (SH2) domain containing proteins, which subsequently initiate a set of signaling pathways. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Signaling and its Targeting in Cancer Therapy

    Abstract : Overactivity of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) is a frequent event in many types of solid tumors. Therefore, it is of great importance to uncover the mechanisms that regulate PDGF/PDGFR signalling, to develop efficient inhibitors targeting this pathway. READ MORE

  5. 3. Targeting glutathione peroxidases : identifying environmental modulators, and screening for novel small molecule inhibitors

    Author : Dorian M. Cheff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are a family of selenoproteins that are critical regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell, specifically hydroperoxides like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). ROS are important for normal cell signaling and are tightly controlled to promote cell growth, proliferation, and survival. READ MORE
