11. Functional genomics of vascular endothelial cells
Abstract : Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is a process involved in normal development as well as in several pathological conditions, such as cancer, ischemic heart disease, wound healing and certain retinal complications. Antiangiogenic targeting is therefore a promising new therapeutic principle. READ MORE

12. Cardiovascular effects of growth hormone. Studies in genetically engineered mice
Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to enhance the understanding on the relationships between growth hormone (GH) and cardiovascular disease using genetically engineered mice. More specifically the effects of GH on blood pressure (BP), vascular and cardiac function, atherosclerosis and autonomic control of heart rate were studied. READ MORE

13. Collagenous Colitis : A Study of Inflammatory Mediators and Growth Factors Based on Segmental Colorectal Perfusion and Immunohistochemistry
Abstract : Collagenous colitis (CC) is an inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by watery diarrhoea without blood, normal endoscopic findings but microscopically colonic mucosal inflammation and increased thickness of the subepithelial collagen band, the latter being a pathognomonic sign.

14. Vascular endothelial growth factor B-role in metabolism, lipotoxicity and disease
Abstract : Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B (VEGF-B) was previously shown to control lipid uptake from the bloodstream via the endothelium into tissue cells, and when ablating Vegfb, intra-tissue lipid accumulation was reduced. However, very little is known regarding the metabolic role of VEGF-B in physiologic, or pathophysiologic conditions. READ MORE

15. Molecular Mechanisms in Endothelial Cell Differentiation
Abstract : Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing blood vessels. Blood vessels are composed of endothelial cells and supporting musculature. Angiogenesis is regulated by numerous soluble ligands and by cell-matrix interactions. READ MORE
