  2. 1. From 1p3 to PI3K - Studies of neuroblastoma

    Author : Susanne Fransson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; neuroblastoma; PI3K; PIK3CD; 1p36; alternative splicing; tumor; neural crest; mucosa; premalignant; tumor suppressor gene; oncogene; gene expression; epigenetics; splicing; signaling; akt; western blot; TaqMan; PIK3R1; p110H; p37H; p85; RAS;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB) is a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system and is the most common extra-cranial tumor of childhood, accounting for 7% of all pediatric malignancies. Despite recent advances in therapeutics, outcome is still fatal for patients with aggressive NB and side-effects of treatment are severe. READ MORE

  4. 2. Integrin Signaling in Cell Adhesion and Mechanotransduction : Regulation of PI3K, AKT, and ROS

    Author : Kathrin Stephanie Zeller; Staffan Johansson; Kristofer Rubin; John Couchman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; integrin; ROS; PI3K; AKT; mechanosignaling; actin polymerization; spreading;

    Abstract : Integrins are a family of conserved cell surface receptors found throughout the animal kingdom. They comprise 24 dimers in mammals, and regulate a number of processes including cell survival, differentiation, and migration. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adrenergic signaling in insulin-sensitive tissues

    Author : Daniel L. Yamamoto; Tore Bengtsson; Barbara Cannon; Michael Cawthorne; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metabolism; Adrenergic; Glucose; Signaling; Skeletal muscle; Animal physiology; Zoofysiologi; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Glucose metabolism in insulin-sensitive tissues such as skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is tightly regulated by external stimuli. Metabolic changes in these tissues have direct effects on whole body metabolism. Such metabolic changes can be induced or influenced by adrenergic stimulation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular studies of intra-oocyte phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway in controlling female fertility

    Author : Pradeep Reddy Dubbaka Venu; Kui Liu; Evelyn Telfer; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Primordial follicles; Oocyte; PI3K; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : The primordial follicle pool is the main source of developing follicles in the ovary. The length of reproductive life and the onset of menopause are governed by the amount of primordial follicles in the ovary. READ MORE

  7. 5. The functional roles of the intra-oocyte phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling in controlling follicular development in mice

    Author : Krishna Rao Jagarlamudi; Kui Liu; Lena Sahlin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oocyte; PI3K signaling; primordial follicle; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : The key functions of the mammalian ovary are the production of fertilizable oocytes and thesecretion of steroid hormones. At the time of birth the human ovary is composed of basic unitstermed primordial follicles. Primordial follicles are long-lived structures in the ovary and some ofthem last until the woman reaches menopause. READ MORE
