  2. 21. The role of angiomotin in endothelial cell motility and cell-cell junction formation

    Author : Anders Bratt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angiogenesis; cancer; angiostatin; angiomotin; cell motility cell-cell junction; tight junction; adherens junction;

    Abstract : Clinical as well as pre-clinical data show that tumor growth can be restrained by inhibiting angiogenesis. We have been investigating the mechanism of action of angiostatin, an inhibitor of angiogenesis, in order to design novel therapies against cancer. READ MORE

  4. 22. Streptococcal M protein and human C4BP

    Author : Jenny J Persson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infektioner; Infections; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; human C4BP; M protein; antigenic variation; sequence variability; Streptococcus pyogenes; innate immunity;

    Abstract : Antigenic variation of surface proteins allows microorganisms to evade the immune system of the infected host. This phenomenon represents an apparent paradox, because the variable protein must retain an important function, while its antigenic properties vary extensively. READ MORE

  5. 23. B-box Proteins in Light-regulated Development in Arabidopsis

    Author : Sourav Datta; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : light signaling; Arabidopsis;

    Abstract : COP1 and HY5 are two key regulators of light signaling in plants. Proteins interacting with either could therefore be important regulators of light-dependent development. Previous yeast two-hybrid screens, using COP1 or HY5 as bait, identified several putative regulators of light signaling. READ MORE

  6. 24. The paralemmin protein family : Phosphoproteins involved in filopodia and dendritic spine formation

    Author : Nicole G. Neumann; Klas Kullander; Karin Nordström; Eirc Hanse; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dendritic spines, which connect neurons with each other, constitute most of the excitatory synapses and undergo experience-dependent neuronal plasticity. The function of dendritic spines and their synaptic strength are highly correlated with morphological changes. READ MORE

  7. 25. Tunable and modular assembly of polypeptides and polypeptide-hybrid biomaterials

    Author : Christopher Aronsson; Daniel Aili; Karin Enander; Staffan Dånmark; Dennis Löwik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Biomaterials are materials that are specifically designed to be in contact with biological systems and have for a long time been used in medicine. Examples of biomaterials range from sophisticated prostheses used for replacing outworn body parts to ordinary contact lenses. Currently it is possible to create biomaterials that can e.g. READ MORE
