  2. 1. Platelets – Multifaceted players in tumor progression and vascular function

    Author : Yanyu Zhang; Anna-Karin Olsson; Gertraud Orend; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Tumor; Platelet; HRG; PDGFB; TBK1; NETs; Angiogenesis; EMT; Metastasis; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Oncology; Onkologi; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology;

    Abstract : Platelets play a crucial role for blood hemostasis, the process that prevents bleeding. In addition, platelets have been demonstrated to promote cancer progression and cancer related complications like metastasis and thrombosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Leukocyte Recruitment in Cholestatic Liver Injury

    Author : Matthias Laschke; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Leukocyte and Liver; Inflammation; Cholestasis; Endothelium;

    Abstract : Cholestasis is a frequent clinical syndrome, which is caused by a dysfunction in bile formation of the hepatocyte or from obstruction of the biliary tract. This is associated with inflammation of the liver tissue, resulting in severe liver injury. In this inflammatory process, leukocyte recruitment has emerged as a key feature. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modulation of PDGF receptors function by posttranslational modifications

    Author : Kehuan Wang; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Johan Lennartsson; Natalia Papadopoulos; Jean-Baptiste Demoulin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDGF signaling; receptor tyrosine kinase; ubiquitination; DUB; STAT3; SUMO; SUMOylation; cleavage; autophagy; SQSTM1 p62; LC3; GABARAP; bafilomycin A1; Medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) play important roles in multiple cellular processes including cell survival, cell growth and cell migration. Dysregulation of PDGFRs causes aberrant PDGF signaling, which leads to various diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regulation of intracellular signaling events that modulate insulin action

    Author : Silvia Gogg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insulin; insulin resistance; EGF; Gab 1; insulin receptor substrate; PI3-kinase; ; Thiazolidinediones; PPARã; insulin signaling; glucose transport; adipose tissue; â-cell.;

    Abstract : Insulin regulates several mechanisms of fundamental importance to the body involving glucose, fat andprotein metabolism. Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue promotes an increaseddemand for insulin secretion. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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
