  2. 1. Midgut Carcinoid Tumours : New Diagnostic Procedures and Treatment

    Author : Staffan Welin; Eva T. Janson; Barbro Eriksson; Larry Kvols; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; Midgut carcinoid tumour; Chromogranin A; Carcinoid heart disease; Survival; Octreotide pamoate; Tyrosine kinase receptors; Platelet derived growth factor receptor; Epidermal growth factor receptor; Medicin;

    Abstract : Midgut carcinoid tumours are rare with an incidence of 0.5-2.1/100 000. The primary tumour is usually small and grows slowly but has almost always set metastases at diagnosis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards Immunotherapy of Midgut Carcinoid Tumors

    Author : Sofia Vikman; Thomas Tötterman; Valeria Giandomenico; Bengt Widegren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; midgut carcinoid; gene expression; immunotherapy; tumor antigen; VMAT-1; T cell; HLA-A*0201-binding peptide; IFNγ; regulatory T cell; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Classical midgut carcinoids belong to neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic tract (GEP-NETs) and are associated with serotonin overproduction. The term midgut is derived from the tumors’ embryological site of origin: enterochromaffin cells in the lower jejunum, ileum, caecum and the ascending colon. READ MORE

  6. 4. Isoform-specific regulation of Drosophila gut immunity and regeneration by the POU/Oct transcription factor Nub/Pdm1

    Author : Xiongzhuo Tang; Ylva Engström; Tony Ip; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; POU; Nubbin; Drosophila; intestinal stem cell; epithelium regeneration; midgut; mitosis; Antimicrobial peptides; innate immunity; NF-κB; bacterial infection; transcriptional regulation; homeostasis; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Innate immune reactions protect organisms against a variety of infections.  In metazoans, these reactions involve both cellular and humoral responses. The immune responses have to be well-tuned, as excessive immune activation is associated with tissue-specific pathologies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mucin-like proteins in Drosophila development

    Author : Zulfeqhar Ali Syed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucins; PTS-domains; Drosophila development; Tube shape; Hindgut; Midgut; Malpighian tubules; Luminal matrix;

    Abstract : Mucins are large and highly glycosylated proteins and major component of the mucus that coats the lining of epithelial organs. Mucins are characterized by the presence of extended regions rich in the amino acids Proline, Threonine and Serine (PTS domain), where the Serines and Threonines are O-glycosylated to form sugar-rich mucin domains.
