1. 6. Characterization of pERK expression in amygdala and its role in nociceptive behavior

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

   Author : Mychelly Moraes De Siqueira; [2016]
   Keywords : amygdala; extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK ; mitogen-activated protein kinase MAPK ; nociceptive; pain;

   Abstract : Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. Functioning as intracellular signaling molecules, they are responsible for multiple extracellular signals transduction into diverse intracellular responses through transcriptional and post-translational regulations.

3. 7. Gene expression of MAP2K1 and Cyclin D1 in BDII rat model of Endometrial cancer

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Almir Budnjo; [2016]
   Keywords : biomedicine; endometrial cancer; gene expression; qPCR; BDII rat model; MAP2K1; CCND1; MTS assay; cell culturing; Taqman; MAPK signaling pathway;

   Abstract : Endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) is the most frequently diagnosed gynecological cancer of the female genital tract in the Western world. Research studies in EC is difficult to conduct on human tumor samples due to the complex nature of tumor arousal and genetic heterogeneousness in the human population. READ MORE

4. 8. Towards the identification of Tudor SN interactome : cloning of putative interactors

   University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

   Author : Pernilla Elander; [2015]
   Keywords : Tudor staphylococcal nuclease; cloning; stress granules; processing bodies; programmed cell death;

   Abstract : Tudor staphylococcal nuclease (TSN) is a protein found associated with stress granules (SG) and processing bodies (PB) where it acts as a part of the plant stress response. In plants not much is known for TSN. This project serves as a starting point in our attempt to elucidate the physically interacting proteins of TSN. READ MORE

5. 9. Mathematical modeling of normal and cancer prostate signaling pathways

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Sofia Stamouli; [2015]
   Keywords : prostate cancer; MAPK pathway; prostate cancer signaling;

   Abstract : The field of systems biology has become very popular as a means to deal with cancer as well as other complex biological issues. It enables scientists to gain an insight into difficult conditions through mathematical approaches that have been developed. READ MORE

6. 10. Role of MKP-2 in crosstalk between MAPK pathways

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Ludwiginstitutet för cancerforskning

   Author : Mikaela Åhlin; [2015]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Abnormalities in Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signalling may affect the cells essential processes and influence the cell in acquiring traits to favour tumorigenic transformation and the progression of cancer. Deregulation of the MAPK pathways and uncontrolled crosstalk occurring in cancers may be caused by deregulation by MAP-kinase phosphatases (MKPs) that negatively regulates MAPKs by dephosphorylation.
