  2. 1. Profilin in cell motility and signal transduction studies using site-specific mutagenesis

    Author : Camilla Björkegren Sjögren; Tommy Andersson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Zoological Cell Biology; zoologisk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : When a cell is stimulated by signalling molecules such as growth factors, one immediate response is an increased motile activity of the cell. Membrane lamella and spikes appear at the cell surface and perform undulating movements. READ MORE

  4. 2. Carbohydrate-specific, boronate-containing copolymers: from sugar-sensing to cell adhesion

    Author : Marina Kuzimenkova; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; surface grafting; chemisorption; boronic acid; carbohydrates; affinity; chromatography; smart polymers; biomimetics; hydrogels; molecular recognition; diffusion; sugar-sensing; cell adhesion;

    Abstract : Carbohydrates play a major role in many cell recognition events and metabolic pathways of living organisms. Synthetic carbohydrate receptors are of great interest for the chemical design of sugar sensors, materials for cell separation, cell immobilization, drug delivery and other biomedical/biotechnological applications.

  5. 3. Cross-linked Profilin:actin - A tool to study actin dynamics in non-muscle cells

    Author : Staffan Grenklo; Roger Karlsson; Dan Lindholm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actin dynamics; profilin; actin; Profilin-actin complex; Cell motility; synaptic vesicle trafficing; Far western; fluorescence microscopy; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The microfilament system, consisting of actin and a number of auxiliary proteins, is fundamental for cell motility. Its dynamic organization depends on receptor-mediated signals, leading to rapid polymerizations and depolymerizations of actin. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigating histidine-rich glycoprotein and T cell-specific adaptor as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets

    Author : Tor Persson Skare; Lena Claesson-Welsh; Mats Hellström; Elin Sjöberg; Jonas Fuxe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Histidine-rich glycoprotein; T cell-specifik adaptor; Lymphoma; Glioblastoma; Vascular permeability;

    Abstract : The endothelial cell (EC), the most important cell type in blood vessels, lines the vessel wall and provides vessel integrity. EC function is tightly regulated, and its dysregulation is a key element in many diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer and several diseases of the eye. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endothelial-leukocyte interactions

    Author : Maria Olofsson; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Histology; endothelial cell; leukocyte; apoptosis; mitochondria; heparin binding protein; vascular permeability; E-selectin; migration; rolling; cytochemistry; histochemistry; tissue culture; Histologi; cytokemi; histokemi; vävnadskultur;

    Abstract : This thesis describes early inflammatory responses involving interactions between leukocytes and the endothelial lining of the blood vessel wall. An adhesion molecule, E-selectin, which is upregulated on interleukin-1 activated endothelium, was found to mediate rolling between leukocytes and endothelial cells in vivo. READ MORE
