  2. 1. Macro- and microvascular complications of diabetes: Studies on NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells) as a novel target for the treatment of atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction in diabetes

    Author : Fabiana Blanco; Diabetiska komplikationer; []
    Keywords : NFAT; VSMCs; Diabetes; Hyperglycemia; Aterosclerosis; Diabetic retinopathy; Oxidative stress;

    Abstract : Diabetes is associated with devastating chronic complications including coronary heart disease and stroke (macrovascular complications) as well as microvascular disorders leading to damage of the small vessels and the development of retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. The underlying pathogenesis is not clear, but hyperglycemia has been identified as an important risk factor. READ MORE

  4. 2. Telomeres in ecology and evolution: Hypotheses and connections between telomere length, infections and life history trade-offs

    Author : David Gomez Blanco; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; telomeres; life history; telomere elongation; telomere shortening; early-life telomere length; critical threshold; malaria infection; great reed warbler; Acrocephalus arundinaceus;

    Abstract : Studying life history strategies is crucial for understanding the diversity among organisms. The trade-offs in traits related to survival, self-maintenance and reproduction play an important role in the variation of life histories and can be adjusted in response to environmental and physiological factors.
