Strategies to increase effectiveness of growth factor receptors-targeted therapy in glioblastoma
(2007-11-14)
Gliomas are the most common glial neoplasms, accounting for nearly 70% of
all primary brain tumours. The progression of low-grade gliomas into more
aggressive tumours is supported by the abnormal function of several
prot ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of RNA bulges, loops and base flipping
(2008-01-11)
RNA molecules have several important functions in a cell. They carry the genetic information from DNA to protein, act as catalysts and regulate gene expression. Both DNA and RNA consist of nucleotides, DNA molecules are ...
Knowledge acquisition in patients with heart disease
(2007-09-07)
The general aim was to evaluate different aspects of the knowledge
acquisition process in patients with heart disease. Three different
education programs were evaluated.
In Paper I 208 patients with systolic heart failure ...
Differences i tropism and viral assembly pathways of human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and 6B) and association of host cell proteins in HHV-6A virions
(2007-05-24)
Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and 6B) are considered to be T-lymphotropic viruses. The overall nucleotide sequence identity between the two variants is 90% and each differs by only nine variant-specific open reading frames. HHV-6A and 6B have...

Regulation and characterization of antimicrobial peptides in man and mice
(2007-09-07)
The gene-encoded antimicrobial peptides have emerged as an important
component of innate immunity. In mammals, antimicrobial peptides are
either directly secreted from cells or found in cell granules, which can
be ...
Identification of the susceptibility genes in type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
(2007-11-02)
Genetic susceptibility plays an important role in the pathogenesis of
type 1 diabetes (T1D) and diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present study
aims to investigate the association between single nucleotide
polymorphisms ...
