Crosstalk between androgen and pro-inflammatory signaling remodels androgen receptor and NF-ĸB cistrome to reprogram the prostate cancer cell transcriptome
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Inflammatory processes and androgen signaling are critical for the growth of prostate cancer (PC), the most common cancer among males in Western countries. To understand the importance of potential interplay between ...info:eu-repo/semantics/article

Global analysis of transcription in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells uncovers active enhancers and direct androgen receptor targets
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Androgen receptor (AR) is a male sex steroid-activated transcription factor (TF) that plays a critical role in prostate cancers, including castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC) that typically express amplified levels ...info:eu-repo/semantics/article

Intramyocardial Gene Therapy Directed to Hibernating Heart Muscle Using a Combination of Electromechanical Mapping and Positron Emission Tomography
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2016)Cardiac gene transfer for the treatment of ischemic diseases has suffered from low gene transfer efficiency and inability to target treatment genes to the ischemic myocardium. A combined method has been developed based on ...Tieteelliset aikakauslehtiartikkelit

Isoform-Specific Modulation of Inflammation Induced by Adenoviral Mediated Delivery of Platelet-Derived Growth Factors in the Adult Mouse Heart
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016)Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are key regulators of mesenchymal cells in vertebrate development. To what extent PDGFs also exert beneficial homeostatic or reparative roles in adult organs, as opposed to adverse ...info:eu-repo/semantics/article

Refractoriness in human atria: Time and voltage dependence of sodium channel availability
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Background Refractoriness of cardiac cells limits maximum frequency of electrical activity and protects the heart from tonic contractions. Short refractory periods support major arrhythmogenic substrates and augmentation ...info:eu-repo/semantics/article

Susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein particles to aggregate depends on particle lipidome, is modifiable, and associates with future cardiovascular deaths
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018)Aims Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) through their retention, modification, and accumulation within the arterial intima. High plasma concentrations of LDL drive ...Tieteelliset aikakauslehtiartikkelit
