2. 1. Retroviral gene transfer to repopulating hematopoietic cells

   Author : Thomas Relander; Tumörmikromiljö; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GLVR-1; VSV-G; amphotropic; GALV; long-term bone marrow culture; NOD SCID; retroviral vector; hematopoietic stem cells; stem cells; gene transfer; gene therapy; fibronectin; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

   Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the capacity to maintain hematopoiesis throughout life. HSCs are ideal targets for permanent gene transfer, as the transgene will be expressed in all the progeny of the gene-modified stem cells. READ MORE

4. 2. Estrogen receptor alpha and beta in breast cancer - gene expression profiles and clinical implications

   Author : Sofia Gruvberger; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; Cytology; artificial neural networks; gene expression profiling; microarray; tamoxifen; adjuvant endocrine therapy; ER; estrogen receptor beta; Breast cancer; estrogen receptor alpha; Clinical biology;

   Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in the Western world with about 10% of women developing breast cancer during their lifetime, of which one third will eventually succumb to the metastatic form of the disease. Breast cancer arises from the epithelial cells of the breast mammary gland, but the mechanisms involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis are still not fully understood. READ MORE

5. 3. On the influence of serotonin- and sex steroid-related genetic variation on mood, anxiety, personality, autism and transsexualism

   Author : Susanne Henningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : serotonin; 5-HTTLPR; TPH2; 5-HT3; sex steroids; androgen receptor; estrogen receptor; genetics; gene-gene interaction; social phobia; anxiety; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; depression; personality; autism; transsexualism; amygdala; emotional perception; life events;

   Abstract : Background: The neurotransmitter serotonin has been related to mood and anxiety, and variation in genes that encode important members of the serotonergic system may hence affect mood- and anxiety-related traits. Sex steroids influence brain development, and variation in genes encoding androgen and estrogen receptors, or enzymes needed for sex steroid synthesis, may be of importance for both personality traits and risk for psychiatric disorders.

6. 4. Development of sensitive cellular assay systems and their application to the identification of "orphan" seven-transmembrane receptors

   Author : Knut Kotarsky; Slemhinnans immunologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biokemi; Metabolism; Biochemistry; metabolism; leukotrieneB4; thiazolidinedione; 9-HODE; fatty acid; luciferase; GFP; reporter gene; preclinical assay; receptor; GPCR;

   Abstract : Seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptors play a central role in physiology since they facilitate cell communication in multicellular organisms by recognition of a broad range of ligands. They also represent important drug targets. READ MORE

7. 5. On receptor changes in cerebral arteries after subarachnoid haemorrhage

   Author : Jacob Hansen-Schwartz; Lund Medicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; Pharmacological sciences; subarachnoid haemorrhage; reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; in vitro pharmacology; organ culture; Endothelin receptors; 5-HT receptors;

   Abstract : Overall the aim has been to characterise the in vitro upregulation of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D (5-HT(1B/1D)) and endothelin (ET) receptors in the cerebral circulation as well as demonstrating phenotypic changes in a pathophysiological model mimicking subarachnoid haemorrhage. The first part describes receptor upregulation using organ culture of whole vessel segments from both rat and man. READ MORE
