    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood malignancy of the sympathetic nervous system and accounts for 15% of all cancer-related deaths in children. To understand the biology behind neuroblastoma, clarify timing of cellular events and expression profiles of proteins preceding neuroblastoma initiation, we need more relevant preclinical models.

    Abstract : As the ultimate workhorses of the living things, proteins undergo significant regulatory activity throughout the lifetime of a cell or an organism. Many complex diseases effect the protein composition, expression or modification in the cells or tissues they arise in. READ MORE

  7. 10. New insights of LXR signalling in inhibition of cancer proliferation and inflammation

    Author : Treska Hassan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver X receptors (LXRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily. Up-to-date, more than 1900 publications have established the role of LXRs in cholesterol homeostasis, lipogenesis, glucose metabolism, atherosclerosis, proliferation, and inflammation. READ MORE
