  2. 21. The impact of Bcl-2 family members on mast cell survival and apoptosis

    Author : Maria Ekoff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mast cells are long-lived effector cells of the immune system perhaps best known for their involvement in allergic diseases. There are several acute and chronic inflammations where mast cell accumulation, activation and release of mediators are important for the initiation and perpetuation of the inflammation. READ MORE

  4. 22. Involvement of Eicosanoid Signaling in Intestinal Epithelial Cell Survival

    Author : John Öhd; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; General pathology; Tcf Lef; Bcl-2 family; b-catenin; 5-LO; apoptosis; cell survival; colorectal cancer; COX-2; LTD4; CysLT1 R; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi;

    Abstract : Eicosanoids are known to be involved in many different aspects of eukaryotic physiology and pathology. Notably, over the past 10 years much attention has been given to cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) due to its involvement in colorectal cancer. Less is known about the other major branch of arachidonic acid metabolism, namely the lipoxygenases (LO). READ MORE

  5. 23. Experimental studies on multidrug resistance in human leukaemia : role of cellular heterogeneity for daunorubicin kinetics

    Author : Eva Knaust; Curt Peterson; Anna Porwit-MacDonald; Astrid Gruber; Christer Paul; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Acute myeloid leukaemia; heterogeneity; multidrug resistance. transport kinetics flow cytometry; gene expression; mdr1; mrp; lrp; apoptosis. bcl-2; p53; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cellular resistance to chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and still the majority of the patients die from their disease. Drug resistance 1s multifactorial, the most studied mechanism being multidrug resistance (MDR), mediated by the P-glycoprotein (Pgp). READ MORE

  6. 24. The role of the mitochondrial membrane system in apoptosis : the influence of oxidative stress on membranes and their interactions with apoptosis-regulating Bcl-2 proteins

    Author : Martin Lidman; Gerhard Gröbner; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Philip Williamson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bax; Bc-2; apoptosis; mitochondria; membranes; oxidized lipids; NMR; calorimetry; circular dichroism; biokemi; Biochemistry; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Apoptosis is a crucial process in multicellular organisms in sculpting them, especially during embryogenesis. In addition, apoptosis is responsible for the clearance of harmful or damaged cells which can otherwise be detrimental to the organism. READ MORE

  7. 25. CD19-targeting CAR T Cells for Treatment of B Cell Malignancies : From Bench to Bedside

    Author : Hannah Karlsson; Angelica Loskog; Karl-Johan Malmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chimeric antigen receptors; CAR T cells; T cell therapy; immunotherapy; CD19; Bcl-2 family inhibitors; B cell malignancies; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Immunotherapy for cancer is a young research field progressing at high speed. The first chimera of an antibody and a signaling chain was designed by Zelig Eshhar and was later further developed to enhance existing T cell therapy by combining a single-chain fragment of an antibody with the CD3 zeta chain of the TCR complex.
