X chromosome associations with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and related phenotypes: an X chromosome-wide association study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background The association between genetic variants on the X chromosome to risk of COPD has not been fully explored. We hypothesize that the X chromosome harbors variants important in determining risk of COPD related ... -
X-chromosome variants are associated with aldosterone producing adenomas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) are a major cause of primary aldosteronism (PA) and are characterized by constitutively producing aldosterone, which leads to hypertension. Several mutations have been identified in ... -

The X-factor in ART: does the use of assisted reproductive technologies influence DNA methylation on the X chromosome?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) may perturb DNA methylation (DNAm) in early embryonic development. Although a handful of epigenome-wide association studies of ART have been published, none have investigated ... -
X-Linked Genes and Risk of Orofacial Clefts: Evidence from Two Population-Based Studies in Scandinavia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-06-19)Background: Orofacial clefts are common birth defects of complex etiology, with an excess of males among babies with cleft lip and palate, and an excess of females among those with cleft palate only. Although genes on the ... -
X-ray microanalytical studies of initial mineralization in induced heterotopic bone formation in guinea pigs
(Acta odontologica Scandinavica 39(4):217-26, Journal article, 1981)Allogenic demineralized dentin implanted in the abdominal wall of guinea pigs induced heterotopic osteoid and bone formation. Samples of this tissue were frozen at -140° C, freeze-dried at -80° C, infiltrated with Spurr® ... -
XAB2 promotes Ku eviction from single-ended DNA double-strand breaks independently of the ATM kinase
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Replication-associated single-ended DNA double-strand breaks (seDSBs) are repaired predominantly through RAD51-mediated homologous recombination (HR). Removal of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) factor Ku from resected ... -

Xanthoria calcicola (Teloschistaceae, Ascomycota) still present on bark in Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)For almost twenty years Xanthoria calcicola was considered extinct on bark in Sweden. Here, we report X. calcicola growing on bark at 14 localities in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. In total, ca 300 thalli were observed on ... -
Xenacoelomorpha's significance for understanding bilaterian evolution
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08)The Xenacoelomorpha, with its phylogenetic position as sister group of the Nephrozoa (Protostomia + Deuterostomia), plays a key-role in understanding the evolution of bilaterian cell types and organ systems. Current studies ... -
Xeno-free 3D Culture of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells For Bone Tissue Engineering
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)Clinical translation of innovative regenerative approaches using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is urgently needed for the treatment of challenging bone defects. The overall aim of this thesis, comprising of one systematic ... -
Xeno-free generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from donor-matched fibroblasts isolated from dermal and oral tissues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) can be generated from various somatic cells and can subsequently be differentiated to multiple cell types of the body. This makes them highly promising for cellular therapy ... -
Xeno-free spheroids of human gingiva-derived progenitor cells for bone tissue engineering
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Gingiva has been identified as a minimally invasive source of multipotent progenitor cells (GPCs) for use in bone tissue engineering (BTE). To facilitate clinical translation, it is important to characterize GPCs in xeno-free ... -
Xenobiotic metabolism and its physiological consequences in high‑Antarctic Notothenioid fishes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Antarctic ecosystem is progressively exposed to anthropogenic contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). So far, it is largely unknown if PAHs leave a mark in the physiology of high-Antarctic fish. ... -

Xerostomia in 75–85-year-olds: A longitudinal population study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Xerostomia can pose significant problems for many elderly people. Objectives: To investigate longitudinal changes in prevalence, persistence, progression, remission and incidence of xerostomia from age 75 ... -
XHM: A system for detection of potential cross hybridizations in DNA microarrays
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004-08-27)Background: Microarrays have emerged as the preferred platform for high throughput gene expression analysis. Cross-hybridization among genes with high sequence similarities can be a source of error reducing the reliability ... -
XNLP-Completeness for Parameterized Problems on Graphs with a Linear Structure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this paper, we showcase the class XNLP as a natural place for many hard problems parameterized by linear width measures. This strengthens existing W[1]-hardness proofs for these problems, since XNLP-hardness implies ... -
Xpert MTB/RIF assay can be used on archived gastric aspirate and induced sputum samples for sensitive diagnosis of paediatric tuberculosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-29)Background: Tuberculosis (TB) in children is neglected, mainly due to lack of sensitive diagnostic tools. Recently Xpert MTB/RIF assay has revolutionized the diagnostic field, but its usefulness in pediatric TB has not ... -
Xpert MTB/RIF ultra for rapid diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a high‑income low‑tuberculosis prevalence setting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is often challenging due to paucibacillary nature of the disease. Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) has been developed to improve detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex ...
