  4. 17. Role of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) in vascular smooth muscle

    Author : Lisa Berglund; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vascular smooth muscle; proliferation; A-285222; osteopontin; AIF-1; diabetes; vascular disease; calcium; glucose; NFAT;

    Abstract : The calcium-dependent transcription factor NFAT was first described as a key player in immune cell regulation. Since then, NFAT signaling has been shown to be crucial for normal vascular development during embryogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 18. Matrix degrading proteases in vascular disease

    Author : Sofia Jormsjö-Pettersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atherosclerosis; abdominal aortic aneurysm; MMP; cathepsin; polymorphism; in vitro; proteases; extracellular matrix.;

    Abstract : Diverse processes of vascular disease including lesion growth, plaque rupture and abdominal aortic aneurysm formation are influenced by protease expression. Arteries undergo compensatory remodelling when the mechanical forces that are imposed on them are altered. READ MORE

  6. 19. Biochemical markers in dementia - Exploring Swedish registry data and the human proteome

    Author : Tobias Skillbäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomarkers; Dementia; Alzheimer s disease; Vascular dementia; Creutzfeldt Jakob disease; Lewy body dementia; Frontotemporal dementia; Parkinson s disease dementia;

    Abstract : Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases have a wide scope of applications in diagnostics, prognosis assessment, disease staging, treatment evaluation and more. In this PhD project we aimed to expand the understanding of the properties of known CSF biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, including the most prevalent dementia disorders.

  7. 20. Immune mechanisms in atherosclerotic vascular disease

    Author : Jasmina Cvetkovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atherosclerosis; rheumatoid arthritis; stroke; autoantibodies; pro-inflammatory cytokines;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis has been categorized as an inflammatory disorder, with similar chronic inflammatory conditions found in rheumatoid arthritis. It entails an unregulated accumulation of lipids in the vessel wall, which leads to the development of cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE
