      Haugstøyl, Martha Eimstad; Cornillet, Martin; Strand, Kristina; Stiglund, Natalie; Sun, Dan; Lawrence-Archer, Laurence; Hjellestad, Iren Drange; Sparrelid, Ernesto; Busch, Christian; Hjelmesæth, Jøran Sture; Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Ponzetta, Andrea; Mellgren, Gunnar; Fernø, Johan; Björkström, Niklas K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Adipose tissue inflammation is a driving factor for the development of obesity-associated metabolic disturbances, and a role of adipose tissue T cells in initiating the pro-inflammatory signaling is emerging. However, data ...
    • Genetic biomarkers as prognostic and predictive factors in metastatic malignant melanoma 

      Busch, Christian (Doctoral thesis, 2010-10-26)
      Malignant melanoma is one of the most chemoresistant malignancies in man. Although effort is put into developing new drugs to treat metastatic melanoma, still dacarbazine, an alkylating agent approved in 1975 for therapeutic ...
    • Performance comparison of three BRAF V600E detection methods in malignant melanoma and colorectal cancer specimen 

      Løes, Inger Marie; Immervoll, Heike; Angelsen, Jon-Helge; Horn, Arild; Geisler, Jürgen; Busch, Christian; Lønning, Per Eystein; Knappskog, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02)
      Personalized cancer care requires reliable biomarkers. While the BRAF V600E mutation is implemented in the clinic, no method for its detection has so far been established as reference. We aimed to perform a comprehensive ...
    • Phenotypic diversity of human adipose tissue-resident NK cells in obesity 

      Haugstøyl, Martha; Cornillet, Martin; Strand, Kristina; Stiglund, Natalie; Sun, Dan; Lawrence-Archer, Laurence; Hjellestad, Iren Drange; Busch, Christian; Mellgren, Gunnar; Björkström, Niklas K.; Fernø, Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-22)
      Natural killer (NK) cells have emerged as key mediators of obesity-related adipose tissue inflammation. However, the phenotype of NK cell subsets residing in human adipose tissue are poorly defined, preventing a detailed ...
    • Role of the Neutral Amino Acid Transporter SLC7A10 in Adipocyte Lipid Storage, Obesity and Insulin Resistance 

      Jersin, Regine Åsen; Tallapragada, Divya Sri Priyanka; Madsen, André; Skartveit, Linn; Fjære, Even; McCann, Adrian; Dyer, Laurence; Willems, Aron; Bjune, Jan-Inge; Bjune, Mona Synnøve; Våge, Villy; Nielsen, Hans Jørgen; Thorsen, Håvard Luong; Nedrebø, Bjørn Gunnar; Busch, Christian; Steen, Vidar M.; Blüher, Matthias; Jacobson, Peter; Svensson, Per-Arne; Fernø, Johan; Rydén, Mikael; Arner, Peter; Nygård, Ottar; Claussnitzer, Melina; Ellingsen, Ståle; Madsen, Lise; Sagen, Jørn V.; Mellgren, Gunnar; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Elucidation of mechanisms that govern lipid storage, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance may lead to improved therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases. Here, we find that adipose ...
    • Subtype-specific surface proteins on adipose tissue macrophages and their association to obesity-induced insulin resistance 

      Strand, Kristina; Stiglund, Natalie; Haugstøyl, Martha Eimstad; Kamyab, Seyedeh Zahra; Langhelle, Victoria Puntervold; Dyer, Laurence; Busch, Christian; Cornillet, Martin; Hjellestad, Iren Drange; Nielsen, Hans Jørgen; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Mellgren, Gunnar; Björkström, Niklas K.; Fernø, Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      A chronic low-grade inflammation, originating in the adipose tissue, is considered a driver of obesity-associated insulin resistance. Macrophage composition in white adipose tissue is believed to contribute to the pathogenesis ...
