21. Strategies for postoperative adhesion control
Abstract : Introduction: Abdominal surgery almost inevitably leads to adhesion formation, which often results in substantial morbidity. The formation of postsurgical adhesions seems to be determined by the balance of fibrin deposition and degradation in an early phase of peritoneal tissue repair. READ MORE

22. Cell-matrix interactions : master regulators of cancer cell fate?
Abstract : The development and homeostasis of a multicellular organism require fundamental biological processes like cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration, and controlled cell death. The extracellular matrix (ECM) guides many of these functions, via cell-matrix interactions that function as mechanical and biochemical signaling hubs. READ MORE

23. Ready to pull : force transmission during vascular development
Abstract : The transmission of mechanical forces controls a multitude of cellular processes such as migration, the formation of new organs, muscle contraction, and resistance to the continuous stress that blood flow exerts on the blood vessel wall. These forces are sensed and replayed at the sites of cellular adhesion to the basal membrane as well as cell-cell junctions, where protein complexes connect to the cellular cytoskeleton to relay force into the cell.

24. Profilins : The Control of the Microfilament and Microtubule systems
Abstract : The microtubule and actin filament systems are important for many cellular processes such as intracellular organelle trafficking, cell adhesion, migration and mitosis. The two filament systems are closely connected, operate in parallel and are essential for proper cell function. READ MORE

25. The prostanoid FP receptor and uveoscleral outflow : A study of FP receptor expression and functions in the eye
Abstract : Prostaglandin F2α is a prostanoid FP receptor agonist which acts as an intraocular pressure-lowering agent by increasing the uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humour through the ciliary muscle. The aim of this, thesis was to investigate possible mechanisms of the increased uveoscleral outflow induced by prostaglandin F2α and its analogue latanoprost acid. READ MORE
