    • Angiogenic and Immunomodulatory Properties of Endothelial and Mesenchymal Stem Cells 

      Bartaula, Sushma; Pedersen, Torbjørn Østvik; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)
      It has been suggested that the effect of implanted cells on the local environment is important when selecting the appropriate cell type for tissue regeneration. Our aim was to compare the local tissue response to implanted ...

      Bartaula-Brevik, Sushma; Pedersen, Torbjørn O.; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Mustafa, Kamal (Journal article, 2016)
      It has been suggested that the effect of implanted cells on the local environment is important when selecting the appropriate cell type for tissue regeneration. Our aim was to compare the local tissue response to implanted ...

    • Blockade of lymphotoxin-beta receptor signaling reduces aspects of Sjogren's syndrome in salivary glands of non-obese diabetic mice 

      Gatumu, Margaret Karimi; Skarstein, Kathrine; Papandile, Adrian; Browning, Jeffrey L.; Fava, Roy A.; Bolstad, Anne Isine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-02-18)
      Introduction The lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTβR) pathway is important in the development and maintenance of lymphoid structures. Blocking this pathway has proven beneficial in murine models of autoimmune diseases such as ...

    • Epidemiology of Sjögrens syndrome-from an oral perspective 

      Bolstad, Anne Isine; Skarstein, Kathrine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Oral symptoms are among the most distressing manifestations for patients with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). The feeling of dry mouth is unpleasant, and hyposalivation may contribute to difficulty in speaking, chewing and ...

    • A five-year prospective study of fatigue in primary Sjögren’s syndrome 

      Haldorsen, Karstein; Bjelland, Ingvar; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Jonsson, Roland; Brun, Johan Gorgas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-13)
      Introduction: Fatigue is prevalent in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), and contributes to the considerably reduced health related quality of life in this disease. The symptom is included in proposed disease activity and ...

    • The influence of the NOD Nss1/Idd5 loci on sialadenitis and gene expression in salivary glands of congenic mice 

      Hjelmervik, Trond Ove R.; Linqvist, Anne-Karin; Petersen, Kjell; Johannesson, Martina; Stavrum, Anne-Kristin; Johansson, Åsa; Jonsson, Roland; Holmdahl, Rikard; Bolstad, Anne Isine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-09-27)
      The nonobese diabetic (NOD) Nss1 and Idd5 loci have been associated with sialadenitis development in mice. In this study the NOD Nss1 and Idd5 loci were backcrossed onto the healthy control strain B10.Q by using the speed ...

    • Leukocyte transmigration into tissue-engineered constructs is influenced by endothelial cells through Toll-like receptor signaling 

      Bartaula-Brevik, Sushma; Pedersen, Torbjorn Østvik; Blois, Anna L; Papadakou, Panagiota; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Xue, Ying; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-20)
      Introduction Inflammation plays a crucial role in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and the success of tissue-engineered constructs. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of human umbilical vein endothelial ...

    • Lymphotoxin-beta Receptor blockade reduces CXCL13 in Lacrimal Glands and improves Corneal integrity in the NOD Model of Sjögren's Syndrome 

      Fava, Roy A.; Kennedy, Susan M.; Wood, Sheryl G.; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Bienkowska, Jadwiga; Papandile, Adrian; Kelly, John A.; Mavragani, Clio P.; Gatumu, Margaret Karimi; Skarstein, Kathrine; Browning, Jeffrey L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-01)
      Introduction: In Sjögren’s syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) is associated with infiltration of lacrimal glands by leukocytes and consequent losses of tear-fluid production and the integrity of the ocular ...

    • Marine ω-3, vitamin D levels, disease outcome and periodontal status in rheumatoid arthritis outpatients 

      Beyer, Kathrin; Lie, Stein Atle; Kjellevold, Marian; Dahl, Lisbeth; Brun, Johan G; Bolstad, Anne Isine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11)
      Objectives: Marine ω-3 fatty acids (FAs) and Vitamin D (VitD) are reportedly capable of down-regulating inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease. This study was undertaken to relate marine FA and ...

    • Subgingival microbial profiles of Sudanese patients with aggressive periodontitis 

      Elabdeen, Hager Z.R.; Mustafa, Manal; Hasturk, Hatice; Klepac-Ceraj, Vanja; Ali, Raouf W.; Paster, Bruce J.; van Dyke, Thomas; Bolstad, Anne Isine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-09)
