1. Regulation of E-cadherin mediated adhesion in thyroid epithelial cells
Abstract : Cell adhesion is one of multicellular organisms most fundamental features. Cells connect to each other by transmembrane proteins arranged in junction complexes. READ MORE

2. Differential expression pattern of CEACAM1 isoforms in polarized epithelial cells : it's regulation and some functional consequences
Abstract : The cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 is expressed in epithelia, small vessel endothelia and leukocytes as two major, co-expressed isoforms, CEACAM1-L and CEACAM1-S, which differ in their cytoplasmic domains. CEACAM1 has been found both in cell-cell contact areas and on apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells. READ MORE

3. The role of angiomotin in endothelial cell motility and cell-cell junction formation
Abstract : Clinical as well as pre-clinical data show that tumor growth can be restrained by inhibiting angiogenesis. We have been investigating the mechanism of action of angiostatin, an inhibitor of angiogenesis, in order to design novel therapies against cancer. READ MORE

4. Wnt signaling affects cell adhesion and neuronal differentiation
Abstract : The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The entire CNS is derived from the walls of a fluid-filled neural tube that is formed at an early stage of embryonic development. The tube itself becomes the adult ventricular system. READ MORE

5. Cytoskeleton-interacting proteins in brainstem development : roles of KCC2 and Vangl2
Abstract : The brainstem is the most evolutionary conserved division of the brain. It develops from the hindbrain and midbrain regions of the neural tube and forms neural networks that regulate vital functions of the body. One of the most critical roles is to generate respiratory rhythm for the regulation of oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels. READ MORE
