2. 1. Notch Signaling in Human Neuroblastoma Cells

   Author : Marie Stockhausen; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Hes-1; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; hypoxia; TGF-alpha; EGFR; ERK1 2; Ras MAPK; differentiation; valproic acid; ubiquilin-1; neuroblastoma; Hash-1; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; cancerology; Cytology; Notch;

   Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor derived from the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). It is believed that the tumors arise from cells halted in their differentiation and due to their immature phenotype; they express proteins normally only detected during embryogenesis. One such protein is Hash-1, which is required for formation of the SNS. READ MORE

4. 2. Diversification of TGF-β Signaling in Homeostasis and Disease

   Author : Michael Vanlandewijck; Aristidis Moustakas; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Steven Dooley; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TGF-β; signaling; SIK; EMT; polarity; Notch; ALK5; p21; growth arrest; Smurf; Smad7; receptor; SNF1LK; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

   Abstract : With the dawn of metazoans, the ability of cells to communicate with each other became of paramount importance in maintaining tissue homeostasis. The transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, which plays important roles during embryogenesis and in the adult organism, signals via a heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I receptors.

5. 3. Notch Signaling in Neuroblastoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma

   Author : Jonas Sjölund; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; differentiation; clear cell renal cell carcinoma; neuroblastoma; TGF-beta; migration; γ-secretase; valproic acid; cancer; Notch; ERK; von Hippel-Lindau; hypoxia;

   Abstract : The Notch signaling pathway governs cell functions essential for normal development and organogenesis. Aberrant Notch signaling has been implicated in tumorigenesis by perturbing control of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration and angiogenesis. READ MORE

6. 4. Heparan sulfate dependent cell signaling and associated pathophysiology : Implications in tumorigenesis and embryogenesis

   Author : Tahira Batool; Jin-Ping Li; Aristidis Moustakas; Liliana Schaefer; Ingvar Ferby; Michael Welsh; Anders Malmström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heparanase; Glucuronyl-C5 epimerase; Heparan Sulfate; Heparin; Lung Cancer; Cancer cell Singling; TGF-Beta; BMP; VEGF; Notch Signaling; Tumor growth; Metastasis; embryonic development; Medical Biochemistry; Medicinsk biokemi;

   Abstract : Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) consist of a protein core to which several linear, negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS) chains are covalently attached. HSPGs are expressed on the cell surface and in the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) where they have diverse biological functions, for example co-receptor functions. READ MORE

7. 5. Notch signaling requiem : orchestral role of notch signaling in cancer and developmental disease

   Author : Yat Long Tsoi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Notch signaling is an evolutionary conserved contact-dependent cell-cell communication pathway. This “contact” spans from hydra to fruit flies to human; orchestrating development, homeostasis and cancer, thus the Requiem, a song of life and death. READ MORE
