  2. 6. Metabolic and endocrine function of human adipose tissue with focus on regional differences

    Author : Vanessa van Harmelen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : acylation stimulating protein; adipocytes; adipose tissue heterogeneity; adrenoceptors; insulin; leptin; lipogenesis; lipolysis; noradrenaline; plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; preadipocytes; tumour necrosis factor-cc;

    Abstract : The major function of human adipose tissue is to store excess ingested energy and to release free fatty acids after hydrolysis of triglycerides (lipolysis), to meet the energy demands of other organs. Adipose tissue also has a secretory function. READ MORE

  4. 7. Biomolecular Aspects of Flexor Tendon Healing

    Author : Maria Berglund; Monica Wiig; Olof Nilsson; Jan Fridén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Flexor tendon healing; Growth factor; Metalloproteinase; Collagen; Proteoglycan; Myofibroblast; Hyaluronan synthase; Mast cell; Hand surgery; Handkirurgi; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : Flexor tendon injuries in zone II of the hand (i.e. between the distal volar crease and the distal interphalangeal joint) can be costly for both the afflicted individual and society because of the high cost of a long rehabilitation period, complicated by tendon ruptures or scarring with adhesion formation, causing impaired range of motion.

  5. 8. Importance of Hyaluronan-CD44 Signaling in Tumor Progression : Crosstalk with TGFβ and PDGF-BB Signaling

    Author : Helena Porsch; Paraskevi Heldin; Véronique Orian-Rousseau; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : extracellular matrix; growth factor; hyaluronan synthase; hyaluronidase; epithelial-mesenchymal transition; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : In order for solid tumors to metastasize, tumor cells must acquire the ability to invade the surrounding tissue and intravasate into blood- or lymph vessels, survive in the circulation and then extravasate at a distant site to form a new tumor. Overexpression of the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan, and its adhesion receptor CD44, correlate with breast cancer progression. READ MORE

  6. 9. CCN2 – Keratinocyte Interactions In Vitro and In Vivo

    Author : Elizabeth Kiwanuka; Bengt Gerdin; Kristofer Rubin; Filip Farnebo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : CCN2; connective tissue growth factor; keratinocytes; re-epithelialization; cell migration; cell signaling; Plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery;

    Abstract : Cutaneous wound healing is a complex process involving the migration of inflammatory cells to the wound site, deposition of extracellular matrix, and the reestablishment of an intact epithelial barrier. Re-epithelialization depends on the proliferation and directional migration of keratinocytes from the wound edges. READ MORE

  7. 10. Regulation of intracellular signaling events that modulate insulin action

    Author : Silvia Gogg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insulin; insulin resistance; EGF; Gab 1; insulin receptor substrate; PI3-kinase; ; Thiazolidinediones; PPARã; insulin signaling; glucose transport; adipose tissue; â-cell.;

    Abstract : Insulin regulates several mechanisms of fundamental importance to the body involving glucose, fat andprotein metabolism. Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue promotes an increaseddemand for insulin secretion. READ MORE
