2. 1. Notch signaling : from receptor cleavage to chromatin remodeling

   Author : Kia Strömberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : One of the principal signaling mechanisms that control development of multicellular organisms is the Notch signaling pathway. The transmembrane Notch receptor, presented at the cell surface, interacts with ligand on neighbouring cells. READ MORE

4. 2. TRAF6, a key regulator of TGFβ-induced oncogenesis in prostate cancer

   Author : Reshma Sundar; Marene Landström; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Petra Knaus; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TβRI; TGFβ; TACE; TRAF6; PS1; PKCζ; TβRI-ICD; NICD; Smad; non-Smad; prostate cancer; Snail1; MMP; p300; p21; PAI1; ubiquitination; cleavage; ICD; invasion; HES1; signaling; patologi; Pathology;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with the incidence rapidly increasing in Europe over the past two decades. Reliable biomarkers for prostate cancer are currently unavailable. Thus, there is an urgent need for improved biomarkers to diagnose prostate cancer at an early stage and to determine the best treatment options. READ MORE

5. 3. TRAF6 stimulates TGFβ-induced oncogenic signal transduction in cancer cells

   Author : Shyam Kumar Gudey; Marene Landström; Urban Lendahl; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; c-Jun; invasion; non-Smad; Notch; NICD; oncogenesis; presenilin1; PKCζ; prostate cancer; p21; p38; p300; Snail1; TGFβ; TβRI; TACE; TRAF6; ubiquitination; TGFbeta signal transduction; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide, with 10,000 new cases/year diagnosed in Sweden. In this context, there is an urgent need to identify new biomarkers to detect prostate cancer at an initial stage for earlier treatment intervention. READ MORE

6. 4. Notch receptor processing and CNS disease

   Author : Helena Karlström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : We have studied the relationship of Notch receptor processing and two diseases of the central nervous system: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). The Notch receptor signalling pathway plays a crucial role during development in many different species for directing adjacent cells to adopt different fates. READ MORE

7. 5. The life and death of the notch intracellular domain

   Author : Camilla Öberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved way of communicating between cells that contact each other. Notch is a single-transmembrane spanning receptor that interacts with single-transmembrane spanning ligands on adjacent cells. In vertebrates the Notch family of receptor consists of four members: Notch1 to Notch4. READ MORE
