    Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system has been shown to be intimately involved in wound healing. However, the role of this system in the initiation and resolution of inflammation during healing process remained to be determined. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanisms of chronic complications of diabetes with focus on mitochondria and oxygen sensing

    Author : Ionel Octavian Savu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic complications of diabetes represent a major medical and economical concern. It is an imperative need to establish the pathogenic mechanisms that contribute to development of chronic complications in order to design new therapeutic approaches. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanistic studies on the repression of cellular reaction to hypoxia as cause for chronic complications in diabetes

    Author : Sofie Eliasson Angelstig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus is an ongoing epidemic, causing individual suffering as well as constituting an enormous burden to society and healthcare systems globally. Much of diabetes-associated morbidity and mortality are caused by chronic diabetes complications, for which there today is no specific treatment due to an incomplete understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms.
