1. 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

2. Roles of PI3-kinase and ARAP2 in regulating glucose metabolism
Abstract : Insulin signaling is mediated by a complex, highly integrated network which functions to control multiple metabolic and growth processes throughout the organism. A key enzyme in the insulin signaling network is phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). READ MORE

3. Cell signalling in cancer. A functional and immunochemical investigation of purinergic,adrenergic, nitrergic, and prostaglandin mediated signalling mechanisms in experimental and human cancer
Abstract : Disturbed cell signalling is a hallmark of the cancer cell, being one important mechanismbehind uncontrolled cell growth. In the current study, we have investigated cancer cellsignalling with the focus on some first messenger and/or their receptors, in the murine celllines, MCG 101, and K1735-M2, and the human colon cancer cell line, HT-29.

4. Enterostatin - target proteins and intracellular mechanisms. Function in food intake and energy metabolism
Abstract : Hunger and satiety are the results of complex neural events that involve several neurotransmitters and peptides. Enterostatin is an appetite-regulating peptide released in the intestine in response to fat ingestion. Enterostatin specifically decreases fat intake, but has also metabolic effects like inhibition of insulin secretion. READ MORE

5. Metabolism-dependent taxis and control of motility in Pseudomonas putida
Abstract : Bacteria living in soil and aquatic habitats rapidly adapt to changes in physico-chemical parameters that influence their energy status and thus their ability to proliferate and survive. One immediate survival strategy is to relocate to more metabolically optimal environments. READ MORE
