  2. 21. Formation and role of nitric oxide in host defense reactions in the urinary bladder

    Author : Edward R I Morcos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : bladder cancer; BCG; cytokines; urinary tract infection; nitric oxide; nitric oxide synthase; nitrite; nitrate; capillary electrophoresis;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological mediator and cell signaling molecule. It is also involved in several host defense reactions. NO is formed in vivo from L-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS). However, it can also be formed non-enzymatically from acidified nitrite. READ MORE

It most commonly occurs in the bladder but may also occur in the upper urinary tract, then called UTUC. UTUC is mainly detected in sexagenarians and older individuals. READ MORE

  6. 24. Promoter mutations/methylation in thyroid and urothelial carcinomas : biological and clinical implications

    Author : Xiangling Xing; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Genetic and epigenetic aberrations are well established to drive cancer development and progression. However, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, and the translational applications of aberrant alterations are limited in gene non-coding regions, such as the promoter locus.

  7. 25. Role of estrogen receptor beta in mouse prostate and bladder with references to human diseases

    Author : Otabek Imamov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : After the discovery of estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) in 1995, it became clear that in many non-classical estrogen-responsive organs, were in fact direct targets for estrogen. One of these organs is prostate gland, where ERbeta is abundant in epithelium. READ MORE
