  2. 1. Cell adhesion proteins in different invasive patterns of colon carcinomas : a morphometric and molecular genetic study

    Author : Victoria Hahn-Strömberg; Lennart Franzén; Richard Palmqvist; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; colon carcinoma; growth pattern; tight junction; Complexity Index; cell adhesion; E-cadherin; Beta-catenin; Occludin; Claudin.; Medicine; Medicin; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Colorectal carcinoma is the second most common type of cancer in both men and women in Sweden. Cancer of the colon and rectum are often considered together and their ten year survival rate is approximately 50 – 60 % depending on sex and location. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of E-cadherin mediated adhesion in thyroid epithelial cells

    Author : Fredrik Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : thyroid; adherens junction; E-cadherin; thyrotropin; cAMP; PKA; Epac; IQGAP;

    Abstract : Cell adhesion is one of multicellular organisms most fundamental features. Cells connect to each other by transmembrane proteins arranged in junction complexes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Differential expression pattern of CEACAM1 isoforms in polarized epithelial cells : it's regulation and some functional consequences

    Author : Ulla Sundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CEACAM1; adhesion; lateral localization; adherens junctions; desmosomes; primary cilia;

    Abstract : The cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 is expressed in epithelia, small vessel endothelia and leukocytes as two major, co-expressed isoforms, CEACAM1-L and CEACAM1-S, which differ in their cytoplasmic domains. CEACAM1 has been found both in cell-cell contact areas and on apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Photosensitivity in cutaneous lupus erythematosus clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Filippa Nyberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Lupus Erythematosus; skin; photosensitivity; polymorphous light eruption PLE ; adhesion molecules; ICAM-1; VCAM-1; E-selectin; fibroblasts; cytokines; UV light; UVA; UVB;

    Abstract : Lupus erythematosus (LE) is an autoimmune disease in which the skin is one of the main target organs. Photosensitivity is a common feature for the different subtypes of cutaneous LE, but photosensitivity has not been well defined. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on CAR and CLMP : two proteins of epithelial tight junctions

    Author : Elisabeth Raschperger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tight junctions are important structures for the function of epithelial cells. They are composed of multi-protein complexes that connect the plasma membranes of two adjacent epithelial cells to each other and function as paracellular barriers, which regulate flux of ions, solutes, proteins and cells across the epithelium.
