  2. 1. Role of MAIT cells in human antimicrobial immunity

    Author : Joana Dias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a relatively recently discovered subset of unconventional T cells. In humans, MAIT cells are predominantly CD8+CD4- (CD8+) with a smaller CD8-CD4- (double-negative, DN) subset, and they are abundant in the peripheral blood, liver, and mucosal tissues. READ MORE

  4. 2. Spatial and temporal mechanisms of cell fate determination in the developing CNS

    Author : José Dias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The generation of neural cell diversity in the developing central nervous system relies on mechanisms that provide spatial and temporal information to neural progenitor cells. The deployment of morphogen gradients is an important strategy to impart spatial information to the field of responding cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Intra-Aneurysm Sac Pressure and Clinical Results after Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

    Author : Nuno Dias; Vaskulära sjukdomar - kliniska studier; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diagnostics; Diagnostik; Open Repair; EVAR; Endovascular Aneurysm Repair; Pressure; Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm;

    Abstract : AIM: The aim was to evaluate the results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in terms of intra-AAA pressure and clinical outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS: 0.014-inch guide-wire-mounted tip-pressure sensors were used for direct intra-aneurysm sac pressure measurement (DISP) through translumbar puncture of the AAA. READ MORE

  6. 4. Diet and postmenopausal breast cancer - With a focus on low-grade inflammation

    Author : Joana Alves Dias; Nutritionsepidemiologi; []
    Keywords : Oxidative stress; low-grade inflammation; Biomarkers of inflammation; cytokines; ICC; variation; diet; dietary recommendations; diet quality index; food patterns; reduced rank regression; obesity; CVD; postmenopausal breast cancer; epidemiology; cross sectional; nested case-control;

    Abstract : Diet-breast cancer studies have shown that “healthy eating patterns” are associated with decreased risk whereas unhealthy patterns (especially those including alcohol) are associated with increased risk, particularly in postmenopausal women. The potential mechanisms behind the observed associations are still under investigation. READ MORE

  7. 5. To scar or not to scar : origin and function of fibrotic tissue in the central nervous system

    Author : David Oliveira Dias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : After injury, the adult mammalian central nervous system lacks long-distance axon regeneration, and insufficient repair results in the formation of a multicellular and compartmentalized scar. A great body of work has been dedicated to the study of the glial component of the scar, while the fibrotic lesion core has received less attention. READ MORE
