2. 1. Familial adenomatous polyposis : a patient perspective on life after surgery

   Author : Kaisa Fritzell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Abdominal symptoms;

   Abstract : Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare hereditary condition with a high risk of gastrointestinal cancer. Individuals with FAP are committed to endoscopic screening surveillance throughout life in addition to having to undergo removal of the colon. READ MORE

4. 2. Complement in Disease - Extracellular Proteins as Complement Regulators

   Author : Kaisa Happonen; Malmö Proteinkemi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatoid arthritis; joint disease; Complement; proteoglycan; cancer;

   Abstract : Complement activation occurs during inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is thought to contribute to the chronic inflammation observed within the joints. Previous studies have shown that certain cartilage components of the small leucine-rich repeat protein (SLRP)-family regulate complement activity, thereby possibly contributing to disease progression.

5. 3. Immune cell-derived adipokines : role in white adipose tissue function and link to metabolic health

   Author : Kaisa Hofwimmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The white adipose tissue (WAT) is home to a vast array of immune cells that control local homeostasis and metabolism by engaging in intricate crosstalk with adipocytes and their precursors through secreted factors (adipokines). In the obese WAT, these immune cells adopt a pro-inflammatory profile, resulting in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation that can perturb local and systemic metabolic function. READ MORE

6. 4. Late-stage 11C-carbonylation of drug-like molecules for PET

   Author : Kaisa Horkka; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive in vivo imaging technique used for translational biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. A fundamental pre-condition for PET is the radiolabelled tracer molecule used in the emission measurement, and there is a pressing need to accelerate the development of novel PET tracers to meet an increasing demand from the healthcare system, academia and drug industry.

7. 5. Engineering xylose and arabinose metabolism in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   Author : Kaisa Karhumaa; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; virologi; bakteriologi; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bacteriology; Saccharomyces cerevisiae ; arabinose; xylose; fermentation; lignocellulose; yeast; mykologi; Biochemical technology; Biokemisk teknik; virology; Microbiology; ethanol;

   Abstract : Utilization of all sugars in lignocellulose hydrolysates is a prerequisite for economically feasible bioethanol production. The yeast commonly used for industrial ethanol production, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is naturally unable to utilize pentose sugars xylose and arabinose, which constitute a large fraction of many lignocellulosic materials.
