16. Thyroid hormone mediates fibroblast growth factor receptor expression, which both alter cell surface mechanical properties of the mammalian cochlea
Abstract : Cells in the mammalian hearing organ, the cochlea, develop a specialized patterning and cellular architecture necessary for hearing function. Cytoskeletal components, such as actin and microtubules, maintain the material and mechanical properties of these cells. READ MORE

17. Immunity to Rotavirus infection across ages
Abstract : Rotavirus (RV) is a double-stranded RNA virus that mainly affects young children under the age of five years. It is one of the leading causes of dehydrating gastroenteritis. Every year, about 200,000 child deaths occur due to RVinfection. Vaccines exist and are in use worldwide. READ MORE

18. Experimental studies on the effects of insulin-like growth factor I and glucocorticoids on bone metabolism
Abstract : Osteoporosis is a major cause of disability among patients that are dependent on glucocorticoids in the treatment of inflammatory disease. The pathogenesis behind this side effect is complex, involving dysregulation of hormonal systems and direct effects on bone cells. READ MORE

19. Investigating cell turnover in the healthy and diseased adult human brain
Abstract : For decades it was thought that cells that lost in the human central nervous system because of ageing or disease – different from other cell tissues – cannot be replaced and that in humans all neurons are generated during prenatal development. However, over the last 20 years, it became obvious that there is a certain level of adult neurogenesis in most mammals that mainly occurs in the dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone. READ MORE

20. Regulation of gene expression in pulmonary inflammation and differentiation : a role for C/EBP transcription factors
Abstract : CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) transcription factors play essential roles in gene regulation. The lung-enriched isoform C/EBPα is known to inhibit proliferation, promote differentiation and stimulate gene expression characteristic of the mature differentiated pulmonary epithelium. READ MORE
