Blocking Clever-1 on human monocytes inhibits the growth of aggressive breast cancer
(31.07.2019)Immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment limits antitumoral immunity and facilitates cancer progression. Tumor-associated macrophages that are mainly derived from blood monocytes, are central regulators of the tumor immune ...suljettu -
Breast cancer prevention by diet : The effect of dietary polyphenols on TNF-α mediated aromatase gene (CYP19A1) expression in breast stromal cells
(24.05.2021)The different ways to prevent postmenopausal breast cancer have been under investigation for years. The effects of menopause and obesity-related adipose tissue inflammation on estrogen biosynthesis are believed to promote ...suljettu -
Cell signaling in breast cancer associated with neurofibromatosis type 1
(30.04.2020)Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which codes tumor suppressor protein neurofibromin. The incidence of NF1 is approximately 1:2000. Patients with NF1 are at ...suljettu -
Changes in norepinephrine transporter expression in models of Alzheimer´s disease
(11.05.2020)Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. AD can be associated with malfunction of the brain norepinephrine transporter (NET) and degeneration in the locus coeruleus (LC) which will reduce norepinephrine ...suljettu -
Characterization of glia-vascular interactions in a mitochondrial disease mouse model
(13.05.2019)Mitochondrial diseases are a cluster of genetic disorders with a profound variability of clinical symptoms, caused by mutations in mitochondrial or nuclear DNA, which lead to impairments in ATP production. The human central ...suljettu -
Characterization of mice carrying Rmrp 71A>G, the causative mutation of cartilage-hair hypoplasia
(15.05.2023)Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is a severe disease that causes short stature and abnormal immune system function and predisposes patients to many health issues, such as malignancies. There is no cure for CHH, and treatment ...suljettu -
Characterization of the novel solute carrier 26A7 gene and its impact on thyroid cell function
(10.10.2019)Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential for normal growth and development. Insufficient production of THs at birth leads to congenital hypothyroidism (CH) affecting approximately 1:3000 newborns worldwide. The etiology of CH ...suljettu -
Contribution of BIM Serine 87 phosphorylation on targeted therapy response
