  2. 1. A population-based study on early arthritis in southern Sweden : Incidence, preceding infections, diagnostic markers and economic burden

    Author : Maria Söderlin; Marjatta Leirisalo-Repo; Thomas Skogh; Tore Kvien; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Arthritis diagnosis; arthritis economics; Biological markers blood; Extracellular matrix proteins blood; Cost of illness; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The total annual incidence of arthritis in this prospective cross-sectional study on adults was 115/100 000. The annual incidence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was 24/100 000, 29/100 000 for women, and 18/100 000 for men. For reactive arthritis (ReA) the annual incidence was slightly higher, 28/100 000, and for undifferentiated arthritis 41/100 000. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biomarkers aiming at cancer risk estimation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

    Author : Hans Helleberg; Kimmo Peltonen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical Biology; fysikalisk biologi;

    Abstract : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), a family of compounds that are formed in incomplete combustion of organic matter, occur as general pollutants in air and food. Exposure to PAH is, according to preliminary estimates, associated with non-acceptable cancer risks showing the need for improved data to be used in risk estimation. READ MORE

  5. 3. microRNAs: from biogenesis to organismal tracing

    Author : Wenjing Kang; Marc Friedländer; Jens Lagergren; Ulf Ørom; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microRNA; microRNA biogenesis; taxonomical identification; high throughput sequencing; xenomiRs; RNA structure; high throughput screening; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs of around 22 nucleotides in length, which help to shape the expression of most mRNAs. Perturbation of miRNA expression has revealed a variety of defects in development, cell specification, physiology and behavior. READ MORE

  6. 4. Telomere length : dynamics and role as a biological marker in malignancy

    Author : Ulrika Svenson; Göran Roos; Uwe Martens; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Telomere length; peripheral blood; immune cells; breast cancer; renal cell carcinoma; biological marker; patologi; Pathology;

    Abstract : Telomeres are protective structures at the end of our chromosomes, composed of multiple repeats of the DNA sequence TTAGGG. They are essential for maintaining chromosomal stability by preventing damage and degradation of the chromosome ends. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development and Application of Genomic Resources in Non-model Bird Species

    Author : Biao Wang; Jacob Höglund; Christopher Wheat; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genome; transcriptome; next generation sequencing; non-model species; bioinformatics; reference guided assembly; RNA-Seq; comparative genomics; gene expression; major histocompatibility complex; single nucleotide polymorphism; microsatellite; Biologi; Biology;

    Abstract : Understanding the genetic basis of biological processes is a fundamental component of modern ecology and evolutionary biology studies. With the recent advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, it is now possible to perform large genome and transcriptome projects for ecologically important non-model species. READ MORE
