  2. 1. The role of fusion oncogenes and cancer stem cells in myxoid liposarcoma

    Author : Soheila Dolatabadi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; FUS; FUS-DDIT3; myxoid liposarcoma; cancer stem cells; JAK-STAT;

    Abstract : Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is characterised by the FUS-DDIT3, or the less common EWSR1-DDIT3 fusion oncogene and is the second most common type of liposarcoma. The fusion oncogenes encode chimeric transcription factors that are causal factors in tumourigenesis however, their functions are poorly known. READ MORE

  4. 2. T cell Tolerance - Cellular and molecular features of immune regulation

    Author : Susanna Grundström; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; serology; Immunology; JAK STAT.; NFkB; suppression; IL-2; superantigen; T cells; tolerance;

    Abstract : The immune system has evolved regulatory mechanisms in order to balance the effects of deleterious immune responses. Such immunological tolerance may be specifically acquired by lymphocytes, although different cells of the immune system participate in the induction and maintenance of tolerance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Roles of mammalian Scribble in polarity signaling, virus offense and cell-fate determination

    Author : Michael Wigerius; Magnus Johansson; Lawrence Banks; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell polarity; scribble; tbev; RhoGTPase; jak-stat; mapk; neurite outgrowth; influenza a virus; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Mammalian Scribble is a target for proteins encoded by human papilloma virus, retro- and flaviviruses. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a flavivirus that have evolved distinct strategies to escape antiviral responses. READ MORE

  6. 4. Impact of Interleukin-6 family cytokine signalling on human endothelial cells and platelets

    Author : Madelene Lindkvist; Magnus Grenegård; Liza Ljungberg; Alistair W. Poole; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gp130 signalling cytokines; inflammation; transsignalling; JAK STAT; MEK ERK; PI3K AKT; platelet aggregation; vasodilation;

    Abstract : Endothelial cells lining the luminal side of blood vessels creates a barrier between the circulating blood and the extracellular matrix. Endothelial cells have important functions in regulation of vessel tension and inflammation. READ MORE

  7. 5. A peripheral immune response in Huntington's disease and delineation of its importance in disease pathology

    Author : Anna Magnusson-Lind; Biomarkörer vid hjärnsjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington s disease; peripheral symptoms; immune response; muscle atrophy; cytokines; gene expression; JAK STAT; NFkB; IL-6; TNF-alpha;

    Abstract : Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal, hereditary disease for which there is no cure. It is caused by a mutation in a gene called huntingtin. HD is a so-called neurodegenerative disease, where there is a loss of neurons in areas of the brain that control body movements. This results in uncontrolled dance-like movements (chorea). READ MORE
