1. Calpain-Mediated Apoptosis in Motor Neurons of Adult Mouse Spinal Cord Slices
Abstract : Motor neuron degeneration is a critical phenomenon during spinal cord injuries and some neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms by which cell death is induced in these neurons are poorly understood. READ MORE

2. Regulation of apoptosis in the thyroid epithelium
Abstract : Apoptosis or programmed cell death allows the multicellular organism to remove cells that are in excess or potentially dangerous. Apoptosis has to be strictly controlled, yet inappropriately activated or suppressed apoptototic may contribute to a variety of diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders and neurodegenerative conditions.

3. Aspects of pathological apoptosis in the immature brain after hypoxia-ischemia
Abstract : The cause of mechanisms underlying perinatal brain injury is not fully known, but it results in a wide variety of neurological impairments in the affected children. When injured, neurons of the newborn brain are prone to undergo programmed cell death, apoptosis, since this genetic program is normally activated in some cells during development of the nervous system, even in the perinatal period.

4. Genetic studies of diabetes in northern Sweden
Abstract : Diabetes mellitus represents a group of metabolic disorders caused by both environmental and genetic factors. The two most common forms of diabetes are type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). T2D is associated with obesity and the disease is caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic b-cell dysfunction. READ MORE

5. The IGF-IGFBP system in aerobic exercise : with focus on skeletal muscle
Abstract : Activity induced skeletal muscle adaptation has been suggested to be mediated largely by intrinsic factors, such as insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I. IGF-I stimulates muscle glucose and amino acid uptake and promotes anabolism. READ MORE
