Students' perceptions of interprofessional learning and virtual patients in primary healthcare
(2023-11-02)
Background: The benefits of interprofessional education in healthcare, such as
improved communication and ability to teamwork, are well known globally. There
is a need to prepare students for interprofessional collaboration ...
Involvement of evolutionarily plastic regions in cancer associated CHR3 aberrations
(2007-05-04)
A functional test to identify tumor antagonizing regions on chromosome 3
(chr3), called the Elimination Test, was developed in our group. It is
based on microcell mediated transfer of human chr3 into mouse or human
tumor ...
Stem cell differentiation, plasticity and regenerative mechanisms in the cholinergic system : implications for Alzheimer’s disease
(2008-02-25)
Stem cells are immature cells with self-renewal capacity. They are able
to differentiate into multiple lineages that may serve as a source of
expandable cells for various applications. To generate cell populations
of a ...
Neurotransmitter phenotypes of neurons in the spinal cord and their functional role in the mouse locomotor network
(2010-03-03)
Walking is a special case of movement because it is rhythmic. An important area in current neuroscience research, is to better understand the different organizational levels (molecular, ion channels, neurotransmitters, ...
A study of two major challenges in prostate cancer : effective chemo-prevention and overcoming resistance to hormonal and chemotherapy
(2018-06-29)
For men, over the course of a lifetime the risk of developing prostate cancer is 1 in 9. Both the illness itself and treatment affect quality of life in multiple aspects, including urinary problems, pain, and sexual ...
Synaptic uncoupling in the mouse cochlea induced by noise or cisplatin and its clinical relevance
(2020-03-12)
The cochlea has an autonomous circadian clock that controls auditory function and increases vulnerability to noise trauma during the active phase. The mechanisms regulating the circadian control of the auditory system are ...
Stem cell in-vitro strategies for the induction of sensory neurons for inner ear cell therapy
(2016-01-29)
The cochlea, a part of the auditory system, is a complex structure consisting of several
different types of cells including hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. In mammals, the
regenerative potential of hair cells and ...
The role of transcriptional repression in Shh signalling and patterning of the ventral neural tube
(2004-05-07)
From flies to humans, members of the Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted signalling molecules play a vital role in determining cell fate and patterning during embryonic development. In vertebrates, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) act ...
Brain opioid mechanisms in amphetamine induced behaviours
(2009-09-04)
Amphetamine abuse and dependence are global health problems, affecting large numbers of individuals. Despite extensive research efforts, there has been no evidence-based pharmacotherapy available for amphetamine dependence. ...
Molecular characterization of estrogen receptors with focus on breast cancer
(2012-05-03)
Estrogen signaling is mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ. Aberrant estrogen signaling is involved in breast cancer development. ERα is one of the key biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. ...
