  2. 16. Single-molecule Detection in situ

    Author : Chatarina Larsson; Mats Nilsson; Ulf Landegren; Sanjay Tyagi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ;

    Abstract : The human body contains a variety of different cell types that share a common genome, but differ in how they use the information encoded therein. Variation in molecular content exists even at the level of individual cells, and to provide deeper insight into complex cellular processes methods that permit analysis of each cell on its own are needed.

  4. 17. Particularly harmful particles? A study of airborne particles with a focus on genotoxicity and oxidative stress

    Author : Hanna Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : particulate matter; particles; genotoxicity; oxidative stress; DNA damage; inflammation; subway; tire-road; wood;

    Abstract : Today it is well established that particulate matter (PM) cause a wide range of health effects. The underlying mechanisms likely include inflammation, oxidative stress and genotoxicity. There is however a lack of knowledge regarding how particles from different sources contribute to these effects. READ MORE

    Author : Catja Freiburghaus; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the bioactive peptides lactoferricin and ubiquitin and findings suggesting that they have ability to modify the risk of cancer. It is known that components in bovine milk may improve human health and modify the risk of diseases. Examples of such compounds are bioactive peptides, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 19. Toxicity of metal containing micro- and nanoparticles : studies from an inhalation perspective

    Author : Johanna Kain; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Particles in urban environments have for a long time been associated with different health problems and diseases, such as worsening of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as well as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, metal containing particles present in occupational settings and industries, particularly particles produced during welding, have been linked to several adverse health effects. READ MORE

  7. 20. Mechanisms behind Cadmium-Induced Teratogenicity

    Author : Estíbaliz López Fernández de Villaverde; Lennart Dencker; Ulf Eriksson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Toxicology; Cadmium; Teratogenesis; Exencephaly; Mechanisms; Toxikologi; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

    Abstract : Heavy metals polluting our environment cause concern for developing organisms. Among them, cadmium with extremely slow elimination from the body, causes lower birth weight in humans but has not been classify as a human teratogen. Studies in different laboratory animals have shown that cadmium indeed is a potent teratogen. READ MORE
