  2. 16. Cell response to imaging contrast agents suggested for atherosclerotic plaque imaging

    Author : Amit Laskar; Ximing Yuan; Wei Li; Rolf GG Andersson; Eva Hurt-Camejo; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oxysterols are the major cytotoxic components of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) that accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. Their uptake by macrophages ensue foam cell formation, atherogenesis and plaque progression. READ MORE

  4. 17. Pharmacological properties of radiotracers that measure p-glycoprotein function and density

    Author : Pavitra Kannan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Energy-dependent transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family regulate the movement of molecules across cellular membranes. Several of these transporters are expressed in the endothelial cells of brain microvessels (blood-brain barrier) to protect brain tissue from exposure to toxins in the blood. READ MORE

  5. 18. Alexandria: A General Drude Polarizable Force Field with Spherical Charge Density

    Author : Mohammad Mehdi Ghahremanpour; David Van der Spoel; Kresten Lindorff-Larsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular mechanics; Force field; Drude oscillator model; Alexandria library; GROMACS; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Abstract : Molecular-mechanical (MM) force fields are mathematical functions that map the geometry of a molecule to its associated energy. MM force fields have been extensively used for an atomistic view into the dynamic and thermodynamics of large molecular systems in their condensed phase. READ MORE

  6. 19. Platelets : with special reference to platelet density subpopulations, stable coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation

    Author : Micha Milovanovic; Claes Hallert; Petter Järmeo; Tomas Lindahl; David Erlinge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The current thesis was divided into two parts. Basic platelet research is the topic of the first section. The subsequent clinical part examines platelet reactivity in stable angina pectoris (AP) and in atrial fibrillation.Platelet heterogeneity was investigated in the first section (papers 1 and 2).

  7. 20. Adipose tissue, the skeleton and cardiovascular disease

    Author : Peder Wiklund; Peter Nordström; Anna Nordström; Mats Palmér; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Men; women; regional fat mass; bone mineral density; myocardial infarction; osteocalcin; high impact; longitudinal; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the Western World, although the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) has declined over the last decades. However, obesity, which is one of the most important risk factors for CVD, is increasingly common. Osteoporosis is also on the rise because of an aging population. READ MORE
