  2. 26. In Vitro Drug Sensitivity and Apoptosis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

    Author : Maria Norberg; Richard Rosenquist; Anna Åleskog; Elin Lindhagen; Gerard Tobin; Per-Ola Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; in vitro drug sensitivity; apoptosis; prognostic markers; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Haematology; Hematologi; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap; Clinical Genetics; Klinisk genetik; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous malignancy displaying varying clinical outcome, where molecular markers today can divide patients into prognostic subgroups. Despite the introduction of new agents for treatment, remissions are usually not sustained in CLL and resistance towards treatment can partly be explained by aberrant apoptosis. READ MORE

  4. 27. Apoptosis and tumor cell death pathways in response to HAMLET

    Author : Oskar Hallgren; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicinska vetenskaper allmänt ; General biomedical sciences; Klinisk biologi; apoptosis; autophagy; alpha-lactalbumin; Clinical biology; programmed cell death; HAMLET; cell cycle;

    Abstract : HAMLET (Human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a molecular complex of alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid, that induces programmed cells death in tumor cells but leaves healthy differentiated cells unaffected. It has a broad anti-tumor activity as more than 40 cell lines from different origin are sensitive. READ MORE

  5. 28. Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) in the plasma membrane induce apoptosis

    Author : Nesar Akanda; Fredrik Elinder; Tuula Jalonen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Physiology; Apoptosis; Cell membrane; Hippocampus; Membrane potentials; Neurons; Voltage-dependent anion channels; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is essential for proper development and functioning of the body systems. During development, apoptosis plays a central role to sculpt the embryo, and in adults, to maintain tissue homeostasis by eliminating redundant, damaged or effete cells. Therefore, a tight regulation of this process is essential. READ MORE

  6. 29. Regulation of Polyamine Analogue-Induced Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer Cells

    Author : Martina Holst; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cancer; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi; Pharmacological sciences; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytochrome c; Cytology; Bcl-2; Mitochondrial respiration; Apoptosis; Human breast cancer cells; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; Social medicine; Socialmedicin; samhällsmedicin; Mitochondria; Polyamine analogues;

    Abstract : Apoptosis is a defined process for cells to commit suicide through a set of biochemical and morphological cell changes. Activated apoptotic signals converge on the mitochondria, leading to permeabilization of mitochondrial membranes and release of different apoptosis regulatory proteins into the cytosol. READ MORE

  7. 30. Apoptosis, proliferation, and sex steroid receptors in endometrium and endometrial carcinoma

    Author : Marju Dahmoun; Torbjörn Bäckström; Karin Boman; Stefan Cajander; Seija Grénman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; estradiol; progesterone; steroid receptors; apoptosis; proliferation; endometrial carcinoma; Ki-67; p53; immunohistochemistry; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the involvement of apoptosis and proliferation in the mechanisms of menstruation and hormonal replacement therapy, HRT, as well as in the mechanisms of progesterone therapy in endometrial carcinoma. The aim of the first study was to investigate endometrium for 4 days before and for 2 days during menstruation. READ MORE
