21. Cell interactions in the CNS and their consequences for neuronal apoptosis
Abstract : The central nervous system consists of an intricate network of neurons and glial cells that depend on reciprocal communication to develop and maintain the vital functions of the brain. if the balance is disturbed by injury or disease, two cell types in particular, microglia and astrocytes, respond by producing factors that help combat the infection or delimit the affected area.

22. Alterations in receptor expression and function in scrapie-infected neuronal cell lines
Abstract : This study shows that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces a robust, concentration-and time-dependent increase in nitric oxide (NO) production in the murine neuroblastoma cell line N2a by increased expression of iNOS. However, in scrapie-infected N2a cells (ScN2a), the LPS-induced NO production was completely abolished. READ MORE

23. Understanding and targeting the architecture in cancer : novel therapies in neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma
Abstract : Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide after cardiovascular diseases. In Sweden, childhood cancer is the most common cause of death in children 1-14 years of age. Owing to advances in treatment and a better understanding of tumor biology, survival rates have increased to over 80% in most Western countries. READ MORE

24. Pluripotent stem cell-derived teratoma presents an embryonic neoplastic niche for in vivo studies of neuroectodermal childhood tumors
Abstract : Therapy-resistance and relapse remain problematic in many cancer patients, despite the advancement in anti-cancer therapies. There is a constant need of developing new anti-cancer drugs to combat tumors keeping in mind also the increasing incidence rate of cancers as well as the incidences of relapse. READ MORE

25. The importance of Cyclophilins and Mps1 in cancer
Abstract : Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological response to chronic liver injuries such as chronic alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or chronic viral infections. No antifibrotic compound has been approved for liver fibrosis and if the cause of the chronic injury is not solved, fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis. READ MORE
