16. Cellular mechanisms of anaesthetic agents
Abstract : Anaesthesia is given to approximate 5% of the Swedish population annually, with the great advantage of painless surgery, but it also has side effects such as depression of blood pressure that might give a heart infarction. Exactly how anaesthetic agents cause anaesthesia is poorly known. READ MORE

17. Mechanisms of stretch-induced growth and contractile differentiation in vascular smooth muscle
Abstract : Vascular smooth muscle can adapt to increased intraluminal pressure by remodelling and hypertrophy, as seen in hypertension. The molecular mechanisms responsible for this are still incompletely characterized. READ MORE

19. Signal transduction pathways involved in PDGF receptor-induced cellular responses
Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), is a potent connective tissue cell mitogen and chemoattractant which binds to two structurally related receptors denoted PDGF α- and β- receptors. Upon binding of PDGF to the receptor, signaling molecules containing Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains are recruited to the activated receptor and mediate propagation of the signal. READ MORE
