  2. 1. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – A Study in Transgenic Mice

    Author : Hanna Wootz; Dan Lindholm; Håkan Aldskogius; Christopher Fowler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Neurosciences; ALS; Caspase; Caspase-12; Cathepsin; Cystatin; ER stress; Motor neuron; Neurodegeneration; Sod1; XIAP; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with an incidence of 1.5-2.7/100000 people/year. Today there is no cure for the disease and only symptomatic treatments are available. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tissue-Selective Activation and Toxicity of Substituted Dichlorobenzenes : Studies on the Mechanism of Cell Death in the Olfactory Mucosa

    Abstract : The nasal passages are constantly exposed to both air- and bloodborne foreign compounds. In particular, the olfactory mucosa is demonstrated to be susceptible to a variety of drugs and chemicals. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects of pathological apoptosis in the immature brain after hypoxia-ischemia

    Author : Ulrika Hallin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : neonatal; rat; brain; hypoxia-ischemia; necrosis; apoptosis; calpain; caspase; Bcl-2; Bax; mitochondria; calcineurin.;

    Abstract : The cause of mechanisms underlying perinatal brain injury is not fully known, but it results in a wide variety of neurological impairments in the affected children. When injured, neurons of the newborn brain are prone to undergo programmed cell death, apoptosis, since this genetic program is normally activated in some cells during development of the nervous system, even in the perinatal period.

  6. 4. Elucidation of pro-apoptotic signaling induced by cisplatin

    Author : Aleksandra Mandic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Keywords: Cisplatin; apoptosis; signal transduction; Bak; calpain; endoplasmic reticulum;

    Abstract : A major clinical problem regarding treatment of malignant tumors with anticancer drugs is inherent or acquired resistance to therapy. One factor contributing to drug resistance of cancer cells is failure to undergo apoptosis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular mechanisms mediating development of pulmonary cachexia in COPD

    Author : Vladimir Basic; Jorge Ruas; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; COPD; cachexia; atrophy; cigarette smoke; myogenesis; angiogenesis; Biomedicin; Biomedicine; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Cigarette smoking (CS) represents the main causative agent underlying development and progress of COPD. Recently, involvement of CS in the pathogenesis of COPDassociated muscle abnormalities is becoming increasingly evident. Nevertheless, involved triggers and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. READ MORE
