    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide with approximately 1.150.000 new cases each year and accounting for over 400.000 deaths per year. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fat mass, adipokines and clinical complications of chronic kidney disease

    Author : Jonas Axelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chronic kidney disease; end-stage renal disease; insulin resistance; inflammation; cardiovascular disease; adipokines; leptin; epoetin; resistin; visfatin; AHSG; CD163; outcome.;

    Abstract : Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), irrespective of initial etiology, have a risk of cardiovascular morbidity (CVD) and mortality that is many-fold higher than that of a similar person without CKD. While traditional risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia, certainly contribute, these factors cannot by themselves explain the burden of CVD. READ MORE

  5. 3. Macrophage antigen expression in breast and colorectal cancers : A consequence of macrophage - tumour cell fusion?

    Author : Ivan Shabo; Joar Svanvik; Bengt Gustavsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Carcinogenesis is a sophisticated biological process consisting of a series of progressive changes in somatic cells from premalignant to malignant phenotype. Despite the vast information available about cancer cells, the origin of cancer and cause of metastasis still remain enigmatic. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular Investigations of high-risk Mantle Cell Lymphoma : Genetic factors and the impact of the microenvironment

    Author : Joana de Matos Rodrigues; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mantle cell lymphoma MCL ; CPT1A; TP53; c-Myc; Immune microenvironment; Macrophages;

    Abstract : Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive disease, with variable clinical course and heterogenous molecular characteristics. In this thesis, which is based upon six original papers, we aimed to understand MCL deregulations, both at intrinsic and extrinsic levels, to identify companion biomarkers that would allow patient stratification.

  7. 5. Immune regulation at the fetal‐maternal interface with focus on decidual macrophages

    Author : Judit Svensson-Arvelund; Jan Ernerudh; Maria Jenmalm; Göran Berg; Siamon Gordon; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : A successful pregnancy requires that the maternal immune system adapts to tolerate the semi-allogeneic fetal-placental unit. This adaptation mainly occurs locally, i.e. at the fetal-maternal interface, where fetal-derived tissues come into close contact with maternal cells in the uterine endometrium (called decidua during pregnancy).
