  2. 16. Genetic and Functional Analysis of Cell Adhesion in Muscle

    Author : Wen Kuang; Urban Lendahl; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zoological Developmental Biology; zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant tissues in the body, and its main function is to generate the force for movement. The mature muscle cell is a giant, elongated, multinucleated cell surrounded by a specialized, extracellular matrix (ECM), the basement membrane (BM). READ MORE

  4. 17. Resection of colorectal liver metastases - Impact of preoperative chemotherapy

    Author : Sam Eriksson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal liver metastases; Preoperative chemotherapy; Liver resection; Hepatic microcirculation; Sarcopenia;

    Abstract : Background Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. 20-30 % of patients will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for CRLMs, and is often combined with perioperative chemotherapy, which can prolong progression-free survival after resection. READ MORE

  5. 18. Functional role of cytoskeletal, contractile and regulatory proteins in muscle disease

    Author : Mei Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The function of skeletal muscle is an essential component of animal physiology and daily life. Hereditary muscle diseases are comparatively rare in humans, but often very severe. The disease causes are heterogeneous, defects in nerves, intracellular components, structural proteins and the contractile apparatus can be involved. READ MORE

  6. 19. Studies of the novel PDGFs, focusing on PDGF-D

    Author : Erika Bergsten Folestad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thirty years ago the classical platelet-derived growth factors (PDG17s), PDGF-A and PDGF-B were discovered. For a long time they were thought to be the only PDG17 isoforms to exist, but recently two novel PDGF molecules were identified, namely PDGF-C and PDGF-D. READ MORE

  7. 20. Genetic studies of zebrafish muscles : clues to protection in muscle disease

    Author : Nils Dennhag; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Jonas von Hofsten; Tatjana Haitina; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; zebrafish; muscle; extraocular muscles; intermediate filaments; bioinformatics; genetics; CRISPR Cas9; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology; cellforskning; cell research;

    Abstract : Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are caused by dysregulation of over 40 proteins but commonly share features of muscle weakness, myofiber death and regeneration, loss of ambulation and premature death. A MD involves a broken link anywhere in the connection from extracellular matrix through the sarcolemma to the sarcomere. READ MORE
