Multiple studies have highlighted the role of ZEB1 as critical regulator of tumor progression through the regulation of different hallmarks of cancer beyond the induction of EMT. The general aim of this dissertation is to characterize new potential mechanisms that regulate oncogenic transformation in colorectal carcinoma. The specific objectives of this dissertation are: 1. To identify new roles and targets of the transcription factor ZEB1 as a mediator of Wnt-induced intestinal adenoma formation. 2. To characterize ZEB1’s mechanism of action as a transcriptional regulator in inflammation

While there is a very strong correlation between obesity and the development of insulin resistance and Type II diabetes, the molecular mechanisms involved are still unknown. However, one clue is that in both human subjects and animal models, obese adipose tissue is infiltrated with M1 macrophages and this creates a systemic low-grade, chronic inflammatory state that could be responsible for the negative consequences of obesity. A better understanding of the relationship between the adipocytes and macrophages under the inflammatory milieu may inform intervention strategies. In this study, the

Perihaematomal oedema can exacerbate mass effect in the acute and sub-acute phase of ICH.

Intraocular inflammation encompasses a diverse group of diseases which account for up to 20% of severe vision loss, particularly following pathological neovascularisation in the retina.

Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) is an animal model for human intraocular inflammation.
