  2. 1. Functional role of neural cell adhesion molecule in tumorigenesis and beta-cell function

    Author : Xiaojie Xian; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : N-CAM; pericytes; endothelial; tumor; PDGF-B; RipTag; ECM; exocytosis;

    Abstract : Cancer metastasis is the main lethal cause for cancer patients today. It has been demonstrated that angiogenesis is crucial for growth of both primary tumors and metastasis. READ MORE

  4. 2. ENDOTHELIAL- EPITHELIAL INTERACTIONS Blood vessels friends or foes?

    Author : Fredrik Wolfhagen Sand; Stamcellscentrum (SCC); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood vessels; pancreas; endoderm development; S1P1; N-CAM; diabetic retinopathy; diabetes; tubulogenesis; Cdc42;

    Abstract : Diabetes affects enormous amounts of patients. In type 1 diabetes the insulin producing β cells in the islet of Langerhans are destroyed by the immune system. The β cells, which are located in the pancreas, regulate blood glucose levels. The lack of insulin production requires administration of insulin. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of cell adhesion molecules in tissue formation and organogenesis

    Author : Farzad Esni; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell adhesion cadherins N-CAM pancreas development mouse organogenesis;

    Abstract : Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are cell surface glycoproteins that promote connection between two adjacent cells or between a cell and extra cellular matrix. These interactions are essential for tissue organisation during development and for the maintenance of tissue integrity in adult organisms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Role of membrane associated molecules in liver fibrosis

    Author : Peter Rosenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adhesion molecules; liver fibrosis; cholestasis; R-cadherin; N-CAM; EBP50; CFTR; cystic fibrosis; methotrexate; diabetes; over-weight; alcohol;

    Abstract : The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of membrane associated proteins in tissue formation and remodeling, in normal embryogenesis and in liver disease. Molecules associated with cellular membranes provide a fundamental basis for cellular interactions during development, homeostasis and disease. READ MORE
