  2. 1. The Role of Hepatic Leukemia Factor in Hematopoiesis

    Author : Karolina Komorowska; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hematopoiesis; Hematopoietic Stem Cells; knockout mice; HLF; Transcription Factor; aging;

    Abstract : The development of therapeutic methods based on stem cells (e.g. cell therapy, activating regeneration and organ transplantation), known as regenerative medicine, is still a novel area in the field of life sciences. READ MORE

  4. 2. Micromechanics of Powder Compaction

    Author : Erik Olsson; Per-Lennart Larsson; Christophe Martin; KTH; []
    Keywords : Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Compaction of powders followed by sintering is a convenient manufacturing method for products of complex shape and components of materials that are difficult to produce using conventional metallurgy. During the compaction and the handling of the unsintered compact, defects can develop which could remain in the final sintered product. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hematopoiesis: Functional Insights by Cell Fate Conversion

    Author : Martin Wahlestedt; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis, is maintained by rare hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) residing in the bone marrow (BM). HSCs may self-renew (the process whereby HSCs replicate to produce new HSCs) to preserve their own numbers, as well as initiate a highly coordinated hierarchical differentiation process that results in the production of mature effector blood cells.

  6. 4. Mechanisms involved in adenovirus binding to and infection of host cells

    Author : Cecilia Nyberg; Niklas Arnberg; Pierre Boulanger; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Adenovirus; binding; infection; lactoferrin; coagulation factor IX and X; fiber; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The adenovirus (Ad) family consists of 52 different human types, which are divided into seven species (A-G). Human Ads cause disease in the respiratory tract, lymphoid tissue, intestine, urinary tract, and/or in the eye. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Role of Hox Transcription Factors in the Regulation of Hematopoiesis

    Author : Mattias Magnusson; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hematologi; extracellulära vätskor; extracellular fluids; Haematology; Hox genes; Knockout; Hematopoietic stem cells; Hematopoiesis; Transcription Factor;

    Abstract : Hematopoiesis is a lifelong, dynamic process, originating from a low number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) residing in the adult bone marrow with the ability to self-renew and generate all blood lineages throughout life. Recent findings have demonstrated that the Homeobox (Hox) transcription factors are important regulators of both normal and malignant hematopoiesis, controlling proliferation, differentiation and self-renewal of hematopoietic cells at different levels of the hematopoietic hierarchy.
