  2. 16. Influence of Islet-derived Factors in Islet Microcirculation and Endocrine Function

    Author : Carl Johan Drott; Per-Ola Carlsson; Leif Jansson; Albert Salehi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes mellitus; pancreas; blood flow; islet vascularity; islet-derived; TSP-1; ghrelin; CART; irisin; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a disorder with complex pathology and is frequently associated with vascular complications. In the islet micro milieu locally generated factors may affect both the physiology and the morphology of the tissue. READ MORE

  4. 17. Lithium and brain plasticity - studies on glial cell changes and electroconvulsive treatment-induced amnesia in rats

    Author : Karin Orre; Enheten för psykiatrisk neuromodulering (PNU); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lithium; electroconvulsive seizures; mood disorder; gliogenesis; amnesia; oligodendrogenesis; myelination; NG2 cells;

    Abstract : Depression and bipolar disorder, collectively known as mood disorders, are devastating, common and often chronic illnesses. Imaging studies of patients with mood disorders have demonstrated structural changes in several brain regions implicated in mood regulation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Fibrosis in the central nervous system : the role of perivascular cells

    Author : Daniel Holl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regeneration in the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is very limited. One limiting factor is the formation of chronic scar tissue, which inhibits axonal regeneration and functional recovery. READ MORE

  6. 19. Following the white rabbit : release and regulation of HMGB1 in inflammation

    Author : Agnieszka Sowinska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dysregulated inflammatory responses are characterized by excessive release of endogenous pro-inflammatory molecules, danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). A prototypical DAMP, High Mobility Group Box 1 protein (HMGB1), is primarily bound to DNA in the nucleus of most eukaryotic cells. READ MORE

  7. 20. 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
