  2. 1. Hypoxia-induced phenotypic modulation of human neuroblastoma cells

    Author : Linda Holmquist Mengelbier; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; reoxygenation; HIF-2a; HIF-1a; differentiation; hypoxia; neuroblastoma;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumour derived from cells of the sympathetic nervous system, which are arrested at low differentiation stages. Low differentiation stage and high tumour stage correlate to poor outcome. READ MORE

  4. 2. Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle in organ culture

    Author : Anders Lindqvist; Islet cell physiology; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle; proliferation; PDGF; Physiology; energy metabolism; calcium; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Contraction of blood vessels for the regulation of blood flow and pressure is dependent on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) located in the medial layer of the vascular wall. Adult, differentiated VSMC have a well developed contractile system and a low rate of proliferation. READ MORE

  5. 3. New insight into myocardin regulation and function in smooth muscle cells

    Author : Li Liu; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alternative splicing; Contractility; Inflammation; Muscarinic receptor; Myocardin-related transcription factors; Phenotypic modulation; Smooth muscle; SRF; WWTR1; YAP1;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are constituents of hollow inner organs. Their contractile function governs essential physiological functions, such as breathing, eating, blood pressure control, urination, and childbirth. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanosensitive transcriptional regulation of gene expression in smooth muscle. Implications for health and disease

    Author : Fatima Daoud; Molekylär kärlfysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle cell; phenotypic modulation; Yap Taz; MRTFA; hypertension; atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle participates in forming the wall of hollow organs, tracts, and blood vessels. Therefore, it plays a critical role in mediating vital functions in the body including regulation of blood pressure. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dynamics of Ca2 handling in vascular smooth muscle

    Author : Karl Dreja; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle; phenotypic modulation; caveolae; Physiology; confocal microscopy; calcium; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Intracellular Ca2+ is a key regulator of vascular contractility, and thereby of blood perfusion and pressure. Ca2+ signals are essential also for cell migration, proliferation and regulation of numerous enzymes. READ MORE
