    Abstract : Osteoarthritis and osteochondral defects are ailments that are increasing in frequency as the lifespan of the population increases and sedentary lifestyle becomes more common. Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes the progressive degeneration of articular surfaces and the underlying bone. READ MORE

  5. 3. DNA methylation in T cell leukaemia

    Author : Maike Bensberg; Colm Nestor; Maria Jenmalm; Sofie Degerman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : T cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is a predominantly paediatric cancer that stems from malignant transformation of developing T cells. While the disease has an overall survival rate of 80%, the intense chemotherapy treatment causes severe toxicity and long-term side effects. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dynamic regulation of DNA methylation in human T-cell biology

    Author : Antonio Lentini; Colm Nestor; Mikael Benson; Huan Zhang; Mika Gustafsson; Ian R. Adams; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : T helper cells play a central role in orchestrating immune responses in humans. Upon encountering a foreign antigen, T helper cells are activated followed by a differentiation process where the cells are specialised to help combating the infection. READ MORE

  7. 5. Acoustofluidic preparation of whole blood components

    Author : Anke Urbansky; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
