  2. 1. Experimental Studies on the Vasculature of Endogenous and Transplanted Islets of Langerhans

    Author : Göran Mattsson; Leif Jansson; Alberto Hayek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; islets of Langerhans; endothelial cells; islet transplantation; vascular density; diabetes mellitus; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : The blood vessels of the pancreatic islets are of crucial importance for oxygen and metabolite supply as well as dispersal of secreted hormones. In addition to this, endothelial cells have an important role in the revascularization process after islet transplantation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

    Author : Magnus Holmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease globally. NAFLD is caused by obesity, often in combination with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Lifestyle modifications that lead to weight loss, primarily diet change, is the only treatment proven to reverse steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). READ MORE

  5. 3. Liver transplantation and the role of adjuvant therapy for advanced primary liver tumours

    Author : Gunnar Söderdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Liver transplantation; hepatocellular carcinoma; primary liver tumours; adjuvant therapy; haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.;

    Abstract : Liver transplantation (LT) for unresectable locally advanced primary liver tumours (aPLT) is associated with an inferior survival compared to other established indications. As organ shortage in most regions is the major factor limiting the transplant rate, a careful selection of patients accepted for LT is necessary. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Role of Innate Immunity in Islet Transplantation : Clinical and Experimental Studies

    Author : Lisa Moberg; Bo Nilsson; Olle Korsgren; Kristina Nilsson Ekdahl; Rolf Larsson; David Harlan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; diabetes; islet transplantation; islet of Langerhans; coagulation activation; IBMIR; tissue factor; thrombin; inactivated FVIIa; melagatran; neutrophilic granulocyte; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Clinical islet transplantation is an emerging procedure to cure type 1 diabetes. The graft is implanted by infusion into the liver through the portal vein. A major obstacle that still needs to be overcome is the requirement for islets from multiple donors to achieve insulin independence. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computational methods for analysis of spatial transcriptomics data : An exploration of the spatial gene expression landscape

    Author : Alma Andersson; Joakim Lundeberg; Omer Bayraktar; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatial transcriptomics; machine learning; data analysis; RNA-seq; probabilistic; statistical; models; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Transcriptomics techniques, whether in the form of bulk, single cell/nuclei, or spatial methods have fueled a substantial expansion of our knowledge about the biological systems within and around us. In addition, the rate of innovation has accelerated over the last decade, resulting in a multitude of technological advances and new methods for generation of transcriptomics data. READ MORE
