  5. 18. Mechanism of F-actin crosslinking by filamin A and the anti-inflammatory functions of plasma gelsolin in bodily fluids

    Author : Teresia Magnuson Osborn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Cytoskeleton; Crosslinking; F-actin; Filamin; Gelsolin; Inflammation; Plasma; Platelet-activating factor; Lysophosphatidic acid; Rheumatoid arthritis;

    Abstract : Gelsolin (GSN) and filamin A (FLNa) are two actin-binding proteins discovered in our laboratory over 30 years ago. GSN is a calcium-activated actin severing and barbed end capping protein that is expressed as both intracellular and extracellular (plasma gelsolin, pGSN) isoforms. READ MORE

  6. 19. Molecular cytogenetic studies of soft tissue sarcoma : with focus on prognosis and acquired events

    Author : Wen-Hui Weng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) constitute a heterogenous group of highly aggressive tumors of mesenchymal origin that account for approximately 1% of all human malignancies. With the aim of eventually improving the diagnostics and clinical handling of these patients, considerable research efforts have been invested to understand the natural history of these tumors.
