  2. 11. Vascular progenitor cells in arterial remodeling

    Author : Monika K Grudzinska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality and physical disability mainly due to the complications such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Physiological healing reaction takes place in the diseased vessel wall aimed to repair the vessel after an injury. READ MORE

  4. 12. Strategies to improve macroencapsulated islet graft survival

    Author : Anne Sörenby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic immunosuppressive therapy may have severe side-effects. In cell transplantation, the graft can be encapsulated within a membrane chamber, providing a physical barrier against the immune system. The cell graft then becomes dependent on the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen from the surrounding microcirculation. READ MORE

    Abstract : The phenomenon known as immunothrombosis has garnered increased attention over the last few years. Much work has been done to characterize the cross talk between hemostasis and the innate immune system. READ MORE

  6. 14. Cytomegalovirus infection in vascular diseases and transplant rejection

    Author : Mensur Dzabic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects 60-100% of the adult population. It belongs to the Herpesviridae family and establishes latency within its host post primary infection. HCMV reactivation is dependent on inflammation and the virus has evolved numerous mechanisms to sustain an inflammatory process and thus prolong its replication period. READ MORE

  7. 15. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

    Author : Mariann Sondell; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Schwann cell; SCG; rat; peripheral nerve regeneration; neuropilin-1; nerve repair; mouse; growth factor; flk-1; axonal outgrowth; DRG; VEGF; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its possible role as a neurotrophic factor. I have investigated the effect of VEGF on neurons in culture but also in vivo, following a crush lesion of the sciatic nerve, and following nerve repair. READ MORE
