  2. 6. Therapeutic opportunities of alpha-1-microglobulin A study in placenta, blood, skin and eye

    Author : Martin Cederlund; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reactive oxygen species; hemoglobin; myeloperoxidase; oxidative stress; α1-microglobulin;

    Abstract : This thesis describes functional studies of the human protein alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M), with the aim of exploring its usefulness as a therapeutic agent in diseases where oxidative stress is a prominent feature. A1M is a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein with reductase activity and radical- and heme-binding antioxidative functions. READ MORE

  4. 7. On the stimulatory effect of microglial cells on angiogenesis

    Author : Simin Rymo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : microglia; angiogenesis; aortic ring;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Angiogenesis, the process by which new vessels sprout from pre-existing vessels, is fundamental to development, tissue growth and repair. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of microglia on angiogenesis. We adapted the rat ex vivo/in vitro aortic ring model to the mouse in a 3-D culture system. READ MORE

  5. 8. Wavefront Aberrations and Peripheral Vision

    Author : Linda Lundström; Peter Unsbo; Austin Roorda; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optics; Human eye; Aberrations; Peripheral vision; Central visual field loss; Optics; Optik;

    Abstract : Failing eyesight causes a dramatic change in life. The aim of this project is to help people with large central visual field loss to better utilize their remaining vision. Central visual field loss means that the person has to rely on peripheral vision since the direct vision is lost, often due to a dysfunctional macula. READ MORE

  6. 9. Lighting simulation for a more value-driven building design process

    Author : Anahita Davoodi; Thorbjörn Laike; Peter Johansson; Annika Moscati; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : lighting simulation; lighting design; lighting quality; energy efficiency; perception;

    Abstract : Concerns about global warming are increasing, hence, the urgency to cut carbon emissions. Reducing energy consumption, including lighting energy, is seen as the primary solution. Yet, solving the environmental factor should not come at the cost of other pillars of sustainable development. READ MORE

  7. 10. Mammalian sperm flagella and cilia

    Author : Jikui Guan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In mammals, both sperm flagella and cilia are axoneme-containing organelles. The sperm flagella are major parts of the spermatozoa that are male gametes produced in the testis from progenitor spermatogonia through a process called spermatogenesis. READ MORE
