    Abstract : Microbial attachment to host cells plays a central role in the induction of inflammatory responses and the production of the disease. Uropathogenic Gram negative bacteria carry surface lectins that specifically recognize oligosaccharide receptor epitopes expressed on glycolipids or glycoproteins. READ MORE

  4. 2. The impact of vascular structure and function on tumor growth, retinopathy, and antiangiogenic therapy

    Author : Eva-Maria Hedlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tumors produce multiple angiogenic factors to stimulate neovascularization that is essential for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Despite the known angiogenic functions of each individual factor, the interplay between these angiogenic factors in the tumor local environment and in modulation of the host functions remain poorly understood.

  5. 3. MRI Contrast Enhancement and Cell Labeling using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

    Author : Anna Hedlund; Maria Engström; Kajsa Uvdal; Örjan Smedby; Lennart Blomqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in bio-medical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3 ) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. READ MORE
