  2. 16. Airway protection and coordination of breathing and swallowing : in health and anesthesia

    Author : Anna I. Hårdemark Cedborg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : pharynx;

    Abstract : Swallowing and breathing is coordinated to ensure that the airway is protected from aspiration. During the pharyngeal phase of swallowing, breathing is interrupted to allow safe passage of bolus. However, details on the complex coordination of breathing and swallowing and their precise temporal relationship are not fully understood. READ MORE

    Keywords : Nephrin; signal; missense mutations; trafficking.;

    Abstract : Nephrin is a 180-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules. Nephrin has an extracellular part with eight Ig-like motifs, one fibronectin-like domain, a transmembrane region and a short cytoplasmic tail. READ MORE

  5. 18. Glomerular expression profiling and novel proteins in normal mouse kidney and adriamycin-induced nephrosis

    Author : Masatoshi Nukui; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Kidney glomeruli function as high-capacity molecular sieves through which plasma is filtered into the Bowman s space as primary urine. The glomerular filtration barrier is composed of glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerulus basement membrane and the podocyte cell layer. READ MORE

  6. 19. Identification and characterization of novel glomerulus-associated genes and proteins

    Author : Zhijie Xiao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The kidney is responsible for sieving the circulating blood to eliminate water-soluble waste products and potentially toxic substances from the body. The filtration step occurs in specialized filtration units called glomeruli. READ MORE

  7. 20. Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Congenital Myopathy-related Weakness

    Author : Johan Lindqvist; Julien Ochala; Anders Arner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skeletal muscle; skeletal muscle contraction; atrophy; nemaline myopathy; myofibrillar myopathy; myosin; actin;

    Abstract : Congenital myopathies are a rare and heterogeneous group of diseases. They are primarily characterised by skeletal muscle weakness and disease-specific pathological features. They harshly limit ordinary life and in severe cases, these myopathies are associated with early death of the affected individuals. READ MORE
