  2. 6. 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

  4. 7. Molecular dissection of the Goodpasture epitope

    Author : Thomas Hellmark; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urologi; autoimmune; anti-GBM nephritis; glomerulonephritis; nephrology; Urology; nefrologi;

    Abstract : Goodpasture disease is a prototype autoimmune disease that is characterized by a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, with or without lung haemorrhage, associated with autoantibodies against the glomerular basement membrane. The major antigen has previously been shown to be the non-collagenous domain of the a3 chain of type IV collagen, one of the six known a chains of type IV collagen. READ MORE

  5. 8. Effects of retinoic acid in the mouse olfactory sensory systems

    Author : Maria Hörnberg; Staffan Bohm; Finn Hallböök; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfactory; retinoic acid; neuron survival; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : A common characteristic in neurodegenerative diseases of the brain is death of specific neuronal populations. The lack of neuron proliferation and axon extension in most parts of the central nervous system leads to chronic loss of neurons in the case of injury or disease. READ MORE

  6. 9. Exploring the diabetic kidney proteome : A junction of tissue and serum

    Author : Leena Liljedahl; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diabetic kidney disease is one of the major complications associated with diabetes. Approximately 25-40% of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients will acquire a kidney complication and despite global efforts to reduce the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease, it is a leading cause of kidney failure in the western world.

  7. 10. Conditional targeting of the PDGF-B gene

    Author : Maria Enge; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gene targeting; Cre loxP; PDGF; pericytes; diabetic retinopathy; brain injury; neurons;

    Abstract : Platelet derived growth factors (PDGF) are known as mitogens for fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells (SMC) and glia cells in culture. Previous in vivo analyses have shown that PDGF-B is necessary for normal embryonic development and life after birth, but the relative importance of the various cellular sources of PDGF-B during development has not been clarified.
