Studies on proteins involved in the molecular regulation of insulin exocytosis
(2004-02-27)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Better understanding of molecular mechanisms of insulin secretion may help to optimize type 2 diabetes management. ...
Molecular detection and characterization of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(2013-04-23)
Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient disease, but not a disease of the past. Despite the declaration of TB as a global emergency by the World Health Organization in 1993 the worldwide problem of TB has worsened. The increasing ...
Assessment of environmental contaminants’ neurotoxicity : in vitro and in vivo experimental studies
(2012-11-27)
Accumulating evidence points to environmental contaminants as possible causes of neuronal damage in developing organisms. A prerequisite to prevention is the recognition of a chemical’s harmful effects during development. ...
Estrogens and lymphoma growth
(2015-05-25)
Lymphomas are generally not considered as endocrine-associated cancers. Nevertheless, most lymphoid malignancies show a gender differencein incidence and prognosis, with males being more affected.The molecular mechanism ...
On antidepressant effects of running and SSRI : focus on hippocampus and striatal dopamine pathways
(2007-05-25)
Considering the heterogeneous character of depression, it seems likely
that many brain regions are involved mediating the diverse symptoms of
depression. For example, the mesolimbic DA system has a central function
for ...
Cell cycle and differentiation in Giardia Lamblia
(2008-04-30)
Giardia lamblia is the major cause of waterborne diarrhea worldwide.
Giardiasis is initiated by ingestion of cysts, which after passing
through the stomach are triggered to excyst. Excystation, or awakening
from dormancy, ...
Exosomes in immune regulation and allergy
(2007-04-20)
Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles of endosomal origin which are secreted from several different cell types. Depending on their cellular source they have been suggested to have different functions, like having a role in ...
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus and immunoreactivity in patients with Ro/SSA autoantibodies
(2006-12-26)
Lupus crythematosus (LE) is a heterogenous autoimmune disorder with many different clinical presentations. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is subdivided into acute, subacute and chronic CLE. Population-based epidemiologic ...
Studies on the occurence and effects of human papillomavirus in tumors of the head and neck
(2008-03-07)
The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) was first reported in 1985. Since then, this association has been studied intensively and today there is substantial evidence ...
Outcome of preoperative radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer with focus on protein expression and dosimetry
(2011-01-12)
Treatment with preoperative intracavitary radiotherapy (ICRT) is used in cervical cancer with the intention to reduce the tumour burden and sterilize microscopic disease in the paracervical tissues. Preoperative ICRT is, ...
