      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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Retained NK cell phenotype and functionality in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease 

      Stiglund, Natalie; Strand, Kristina; Cornillet, Martin; Stål, Per; Thorell, Anders; Zimmer, Christine L.; Näslund, Erik; Karlgren, Silja; Nilsson, Henrik; Mellgren, Gunnar; Fernø, Johan; Hagström, Hannes; Björkström, Niklas K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-04)
      Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the progressive stage non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is the predominant cause of chronic liver disease globally. As part of the complex pathogenesis, natural killer ...
    • The role of anti-citrullinated protein antibody reactivities in an inception cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving treat-to-target therapy 

      Jonsson, Maria Karolina; Hensvold, Aase Haj; Hansson, Monika; Aga, Anna-Birgitte; Sexton, Joseph; Mathsson-Alm, Linda; Cornillet, Martin; Serre, Guy; Lillegraven, Siri; Fevang, Bjørg-Tilde Svanes; Catrina, Anca Irinel; Haavardsholm, Espen A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-13)
      Background: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) reactivities precede clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and it has been suggested that ACPA reactivities towards distinct target proteins may be associated ...
    • 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 ...
