  1. 1. Studies of α-synuclein Oligomers-with Relevance to Lewy Body Disorders

    Author : Therese Fagerqvist; Martin Ingelsson; Joakim Bergström; Lars Lannfelt; Michael G Schlossmacher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alpha-synuclein; Parkinson´s disease; Lewy body dementia; Oligomer; Monoclonal antibody; Immunotherapy; Reactive aldehydes; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The protein alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) accumulates in the brain in disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). It is believed that the monomeric form of α-synuclein can adopt a partially folded structure and start to aggregate and form intermediately sized oligomers or protofibrils. READ MORE

  2. 2. Interaction between Adenosine and Angiotensin II in Renal Afferent Arterioles of Mice

    Author : Enyin Lai; A. Erik G. Persson; Göran Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physiology; adenosine; angiotensin II; afferent arteriole; calcium; nitric oxide; microperfusion; tubuloglomerular feedback; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Renal arterioles represent the most important effecter site in the control of renal perfusion and filtration. Adenosine (Ado), angiotensin II (Ang II) and nitric oxide (NO) interact in modulating arteriolar tone. The present work investigates the mechanism of this interaction. READ MORE

  3. 3. Renal cell cancer : the role of physical activity and body size

    Author : Anna Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore how physical activity, obesity, weight change, and birth weight influence the risk of renal cell cancer. The relation between occupational physical activity and risk of renal cell cancer was studied in a cohort of Swedish men and women identified in the nationwide censuses in 1960 and 1970, and followed for the occurrence of cancer by linkages to the Swedish Cancer Registry 1971-1989 (Paper I).

  4. 4. Getting physical : tangibles in a distributed virtual environment

    Author : Mattias Bergström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datorstödd maskinkonstruktion; Computer Aided Design; Funktionella produkter; Functional Product Development;

    Abstract : The design of products is an increasingly complex task, where companies do not have and do not want the in-house competence to manage the development of entire products. Consequently, companies outsource parts of product development projects to other companies or join in partnerships. READ MORE

  5. 5. Structural studies of bacterial carbohydrate antigens with focus on oral commensal bacteria

    Author : Niklas Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Streptococcus mitis; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Vibrio cholerae; polysaccharide; structure; Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy NMR ; Mass spectrometry MS .;

    Abstract : 90% of the total number of cells in the human body consist of the normal bacterial flora. These bacteria are mostly not harmful and, indeed, even beneficial as long as they remain physiologically outside the body, e.g., within the gastro-intestinal tract. READ MORE
