ROS [12 records]

Record 1 2025-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Cytology
CONT

One of the most general responses of plants to abiotic stresses, which appear to be essential for stress tolerance in many species, is based on the synthesis and accumulation of osmolytes. Osmolytes are compatible solutes that contribute to the maintenance of cellular osmotic balance under all those environmental conditions causing cellular dehydration(such as drought, soil salinity, cold or high temperatures), but also play "osmoprotectant" roles by acting as low-molecular-weight chaperons and reactive oxygen species(ROS) scavengers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Cytologie
CONT

Les osmolytes sont des solutés accumulés dans les cellules de nombreux organismes lors d'une contrainte hyperosmotique pour maintenir le volume cellulaire.

OBS

osmolyte : désignation publiée au Journal officiel de la République française le 9 avril 2022.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
CONT

The primary interest of this laboratory is in the mechanism of cell transformation and oncogenicity of receptor protein tyrosine kinases(RPTKs). Currently, we are studying the ros oncogene, originally discovered in an avian sarcoma virus, human insulin receptor(IR) and human insulin-like growth factor I receptor(IGFR). Molecular basis for the oncogenic activation as well as signalling transduction pathways responsible for normal and oncogenic functions of those receptor PTKs are being explored. Regulation and intervention of those oncogenic RPTKs by potential suppressor "anti-oncogene" such as protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTPase) and dominant-negative mutants of downstream signalling molecules are being inquired. Finally, potential role of those and other RPTKs in the development and progression of human malignancy, particularly breast cancer, are also being examined.
