1. Insulin-like Growth Factor System: functional role and regulation in carcinomas
Abstract : The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system demonstrates numerous actions during neoplastic growth and is therefore an interesting target with potential clinical implications. While numerous studies have established important roles of the IGF system in regulating cellular growth and survival of several tumor forms, very limited reports exist regarding its role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

2. Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulate body fat
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the regulation of metabolism and body fat mass. Circulating IGF-I is mainly liver derived, while a large part of circulating IL-6 is produced by adipose tissue. READ MORE

3. New neurons and astrocytes in the adult brain. Studies on adult rat neural progenitors in vivo and in vitro with special reference to the effects of IGF-I and CNTF regarding proliferation and lineage determination
Abstract : The hippocampal dentate gyrus in several species, including man, continues to produce new neurons and glial cells in adulthood. The generation of new neurons and glial cells in the adult hippocampus is under strict regulation. Two major events of significance for cell genesis from progenitor cells are proliferation and lineage determination. READ MORE

5. Insulin-like growth factor-I from a perspective of bone regeneration
Abstract : The insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is produced by osteoblasts and many other cell types. IGF-I is abundant in bone matrix and mediates some of the effects of growth hormone (GH). The present investigations have focused on IGF-I actions during bone regeneration. READ MORE
