16. Mass spectrometry in peptide and tumor marker analysis
Abstract : Integration of preparative protein and peptide separations with analytical techniques, in particular mass spectrometry (MS), is important. This thesis describes preparation via capillary electrophoresis and two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis for identification and structure determination of polypeptides. READ MORE

17. Epithelial stem cells in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
Abstract : Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and restrictive dermopathy (RD) are two rare genetic disorders that affect children. Complications from cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, are the most common cause of death in HGPS, which occurs at around 13 years of age. READ MORE

18. Human cytokeratins : their use as targets in cancer management
Abstract : Cytokeratins, biochemically related to intermediate filaments (IF), form an intracellular network of filaments which contributes to the mechanical stabilizing of the cell. 19 individual polypeptides, divided into two groups, constitute the cytokeratin family. READ MORE

19. Selenoproteins in the Bovine Mammary Gland. Regulation of mRNA and Protein Expression
Abstract : Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for many important life processes due to the action of the specific selenoproteins containing one or more of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine. Twenty-five selenoprotein genes have been found in the human genome but the function of many of them is not yet known. READ MORE

20. Modeling of multi-step oral carcinogenesis in vitro : assessment of growth, differentiation and apoptosis markers
Abstract : Human oral mucosa, especially the buccal epithelium, is worldwide a common site for cancer. Cancer development frequently results in inactivation of tumor suppressor p53, a central regulator of growth and programmed cell death, and deregulated expression of structural elements like cytokeratins.
