  2. 1. Role of intermediate filaments and expression of GFAP and S-100 in astrocytes

    Author : Mei Ding; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Astrocytes; Gliosis; Kainic acid; Transgenic mouse; S-100; GFAP; Vimentin; RVD regulatory volume decrease ; Taurine; Glutamine; Ascorbate; Glucose;

    Abstract : Astrocytes participate in a variety of important physiologic and pathologic processes in the central nervous system (CNS). One of the most remarkable characteristics of astrocytes is their vigorous response to CNS injuries. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of Na+,K+-ATPase in cell adhesion and cell volume regulation : mutagenesis of Na+,K+-ATPase and transfection in embryonic kidney cell line

    Author : Roger Belusa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Na ; K -ATPase; adhesion; integrin; cell volume;

    Abstract : The regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase activity by hormones and neurotransmittors via intracellular signaling molecules such as kinases and phosphatases, occurs in several physiological situations in vivo. Alterations of Na+,K+ATPase activity as a result of pathophysiological mechanisms have been shown to be involved in the final outcome of the pathological process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Imaging studies of cell physiology with particular reference to Na,K-ATPase function

    Author : Ronnie M Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Na; K-ATPase; PKA; PKC; ouabain; cell attachment; Ca2 ; RVD; fluorescence lifetime;

    Abstract : The membrane protein Na,K-ATPase is well known for its critical function of transporting sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell, thereby creating a fundamental electrochemical gradient upon which several other important cell functions are dependent. In the current study we have investigated novel aspects of Na,K-ATPase function in cell physiology. READ MORE
