  2. 1. Idiopathic menorrhagia : studies of angiogenesis and surgical therapy

    Author : Miriam Mints; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Menorrhagia; TCRE; endometrium; angiogenesis; VEGF; VEGFR1; -2; -3; gaps.;

    Abstract : Background: Excessive menstrual bleeding, menorrhagia (i.e. > 80 nil loss of blood) is a com-mon gynecological problem in women of reproductive age, accounting for over 20% of visits to gynecology outpatient clinics. The disorder may not only cause iron deficiency anemia but also considerable social discomfort and reduction in the quality of life. READ MORE

  4. 2. On VEGF and related factors in neurotrauma

    Author : Mattias Sköld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Spinal cord; brain; motoneuron; VEGF; VEGFR1; VEGFR2; Np1; Np2; Sema3A; HIF1alpha;

    Abstract : At present, there is no cure for traumatic spinal cord and brain injuries. Therapies in use have only modest effect on outcome. Therefore, the need to better understand the biology of traumatic CNS injuries, making development of new therapies possible, is huge. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of growth factors in white fat browning and metabolic disease

    Author : Carina Fischer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The adipose tissue is composed of a variety of cell types that constantly cross-communicate with each other to allow the tissue to operate and to adapt to various external stimuli. The diversity of these cell populations and their production of secretory factors define not only adipose tissue morphology, but also its function. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vascular metabolomics : gene regulation and role of VEGF-B in tissue fatty acid uptake

    Author : Xun Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF‐B) belongs to the VEGF family, which constitutes of five mammalian members. VEGFs exert pivotal roles in the formation, development and maintenance of the vascular and lymphatic vessels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Functional characterization of pro-angiogenic neutrophils

    Author : Jalal Lomei; Mia Phillipson; Gustaf Christoffersson; Johan Kreuger; Lars Olaf Cardell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; leukocytes; neutrophils; pro-angiogenic neutrophils; islets transplantation; intravital microscopy; aortic ring assay; phagocytosis; ROS production; hypoxia; vascular permeability; neutrophil recruitment; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The vascular system stretches throughout the body to provide oxygen, nutrition, and to remove waste products from cell metabolism. Angiogenesis, formation of new blood vessels by sprouting from pre-existing vessels, is one of the main mechanisms involved in blood vessel formation. READ MORE
