  2. 1. Diabetes in 3D : β-cell mass assessments in disease models & evaluation of SPECT based imaging

    Author : Saba Parween; Ulf Ahlgren; Helena Edlund; Eckhard Lammert; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Optical projection tomography; Diabetes; β-cell mass; disease etiology; 3D imaging; radiotracers; Single photon emission computed tomography; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molecular medicine  genetics and pathology ;

    Abstract : Diabetes is a rapidly growing disease with 415 million affected adults worldwide. The pancreatic endocrine cells, most importantly the insulin producing β-cells, play an important role in regulating blood glucose homeostasis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterizing the pancreatic "isletome" : 3D optical imaging to study diabetes

    Author : Max Hahn; Ulf Ahlgren; András Gorzsás; Leif Carlsson; Alvin C. Powers; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 3D imaging; fluorescence microscopy; 3D image analysis; technique development; diabetes; Islet of Langerhans; Insulin; β-cell mass; pancreas; anatomy; molecular medicine medical sciences ; molekylär medicin medicinska vetenskaper ; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The pancreas is a specialised multipurpose organ, that can be separated into two major compartments: endocrine and exocrine. The exocrine part makes up the majority of the organ volume and functions to secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine. READ MORE

  5. 3. 3D Rotational Angiography of Transplanted Renal Arteries : A Clinical and Experimental Study

    Author : Gaute Hagen; Anders Magnusson; Jonas Wadström; Jarl Jakobsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Kidney; transplantation; renal angiography; renal arteries; stenosis or obstruction; imaging; three-dimensional; artifacts; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is an established method within the field of interventional neuroradiology. The method has also a great potential in other areas with a complicated arterial anatomy. READ MORE

  6. 4. PET and MR imaging in prostate cancer

    Author : Kristina Sandgren; Tufve Nyholm; Joakim Jonsson; Camilla Thellenberg-Karlsson; Lennart Blomqvist; Heidi Lyng; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET; PSMA; MRI; PET MRI; imaging; prostate cancer; intraprostatic tumour detection; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Abstract : The current risk assessment of prostate cancer (PC) relies on histopathological samples from biopsies and clinical variables such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA). However, this comes with uncertainties and in some cases it can be challenging to separate patients who would benefit from radical treatment and those who would not. READ MORE

  7. 5. Spleno-pancreatic development assessed by 3D molecular imaging

    Author : Amir Asayesh; Ulf Ahlgren; Beatriz Sosa-Pineda; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell biology; Spleen; Pancreas; Imaging; Development; Cellbiologi; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

    Abstract : The development of different organs and tissues along the gastrointestinal tract, including the pancreas, depends on signalling between the endoderm and the adjacent mesenchyme. The Nkx gene Bapx1 is involved in spatial control of organ-positioning in the spleno-pancreatic region, and deficiency in this gene results in unacceptable proximity of the splenic mesenchyme to the pancreas.
