    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FOX proteins; Wnt signalling; p53; Tumour biology; Transcription factors; Proteine FOX; Via di segnalazione Wnt; p53; Biologia dei tumori; Fattori di trascrizione;

    Abstract : Wnt/β-catenin signalling, also referred to as canonical Wnt signalling, is a critical regulator of tissue homeostasis and of the differentiation of cells during development. The outcome of canonical Wnt pathway activity is defined by the regulation of target gene transcription, which ultimately determines cell identity and proliferation. READ MORE

    Keywords : adipocyte differentiation; adiponectin; beta-Catenin; C EBPalpha; IL-6; PPARgamma; TNFalpha; Wnt signalling;

    Abstract : The relationship between amount of adipose tissue, the Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 diabetes has been recognized for several years. However, the mechanisms for this remain to be clarified. Not all obese individuals develop insulin resistance or Type 2 diabetes and these perturbations are also seen in non-obese individuals.
