1. Neuroprotective Effect of Genistein : Studies in Rat Models of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are neurodegenerative disorders that mainly affect the elderly population. It is believed that oxidative stress is involved in development of both these diseases and that estrogen deficiency is a risk factor for development of AD. READ MORE

3. Towards Pharmacological Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis
Abstract : S-nitrosogluthatione is an endogenous substance, present at decreased levels in the lungs of CF patients and was recently found to induce mature CFTR in airway epithelial CF cell lines. We show that S-nitrosoglutathione in physiological concentrations increases the presence of ΔF508 CFTR in the cell membrane and induces cAMP dependent chloride transport in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells.

4. β2 integrin-induced signal transduction in granulocytic cells
Abstract : Neutrophil granulocytcs are highly mobile, phagocytic white blood cells whose motile functions are critically dependent on adhesion receptors belonging to the B2 integrin subfamily. These integrins are vital for neutrophil functions due to their ability to generate intracellular signals. READ MORE
