2. 1. New Prognostic Markers in Stage III Serous Ovarian Adenocarcinomas

   Author : Karolina Partheen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Ovarian cancer; Biomarker; Prognostic factors; Integrin beta 3;

   Abstract : Ovarian carcinoma is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in Swedish women. Patients with advanced-stage disease respond differently to treatment, and the clinical outcome is difficult to predict for an individual patient. READ MORE

4. 2. Functions of integrin receptors in extravascular neutrophil migration and respiratory burst

   Author : Joachim Werr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : adhesion molecules; leukocyte migration; neutrophils; chemotaxis; integrins; respiratory burst; leukocyte extravasation; extracellular matrix; intravital microscopy; acute inflammation;

   Abstract : Leukocytes circulate in the vasculature, but, must leave the blood stream and migrate through the surrounding tissue to exert their protective functions in inflammation. Numerous studies have revealed that intravascular leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions involve functions of adhesion molecules belonging to the selectin and integrin receptor families. READ MORE

5. 3. Integrin-interacting proteins in human cancer progression

   Author : Zhengwen An; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Integrins are the major transmembrane receptors for the extracellular matrix (ECM) which regulate a diverse array of cellular functions crucial to tumor cell migration, invasion, proliferation and survival. Integrins contact the ECM via their N-terminal extracellular domains and connect to the intracellular environment via the C-terminal cytoplasmic domains. READ MORE
