• Coexistence of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Autoimmune Addison's Disease 

      Aslaksen, Sigrid; Methlie, Paal; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Jøssang, Dag Eirik; Wolff, Anette Susanne Bøe; Sheng, Ying; Oftedal, Bergithe Eikeland; Skinningsrud, Beate; Undlien, Dag Erik; Selmer, Kaja Kristine; Husebye, Eystein Sverre; Bratland, Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-27)
      Background: Underlying causes of adrenal insufficiency include congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and autoimmune adrenocortical destruction leading to autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD). Here, we report a patient with a ...
    • The effect of WnT pathway modulators on human iPSC-derived pancreatic beta cell maturation 

      Vethe, Heidrun; Ghila, Luiza; Berle, Magnus; Hoareau, Laurence; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Scholz, Hanne; Paulo, Joao A.; Chera, Simona; Ræder, Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-08)
      Current published protocols for targeted differentiation of human stem cells toward pancreatic β-cells fail to deliver sufficiently mature cells with functional properties comparable to human islet β-cells. We aimed to ...
    • Increased Plasma Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptor Alpha Levels in Patients With Long-Term Type 1 Diabetes With Vascular Complications Associated With IL2RA and PTPN2 Gene Polymorphisms 

      Keindl, Magdalena; Fedotkina, Olena; du Plessis, Elsa; Jain, Ruchi; Bergum, Brith; Mygind Jensen, Troels; Laustrup Møller, Cathrine; Falhammar, Henrik; Nyström, Thomas; Catrina, Sergiu-Bogdan; Jörneskog, Gun; Groop, Leif; Eliasson, Mats; Eliasson, Björn; Brismar, Kerstin; Nilsson, Peter M.; Berg, Tore Julsrud; Appel, Silke; Lyssenko, Valeriya (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is largely considered an autoimmune disease leading to the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells. Further, patients with T1D have 3–4-fold increased risk of developing micro- and ...
    • Metabolic and Epigenetic Regulation by Estrogen in Adipocytes 

      Bjune, Jan-Inge; Strømland, Pouda Panahandeh; Jersin, Regine Åsen; Mellgren, Gunnar; Dankel, Simon N (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-22)
      Sex hormones contribute to differences between males and females in body fat distribution and associated disease risk. Higher concentrations of estrogens are associated with a more gynoid body shape and with more fat storage ...
    • Modulating Wnt signaling in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived S7 cells 

      Vethe, Heidrun; Ghila, Luiza; Berle, Magnus; Hoareau, Laurence; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Scholz, Hanne; Paulo, Joao A.; Chera, Simona; Ræder, Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Current published protocols for targeted differentiation of human stem cells toward pancreatic β-cells fail to deliver sufficiently mature cells with functional properties comparable to human islet β-cells. We aimed to ...
    • Multi-omics and machine learning for the prevention and management of female reproductive health 

      Kharb, Simmi; Joshi, Anagha (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Females typically carry most of the burden of reproduction in mammals. In humans, this burden is exacerbated further, as the evolutionary advantage of a large and complex human brain came at a great cost of women’s ...
    • Peripheral and central macrophages in obesity 

      Mukherjee, Sayani; Skrede, Silje; Haugstøyl, Martha; López, Miguel; Fernø, Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Obesity is associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation. Excessive nutrient intake causes adipose tissue expansion, which may in turn cause cellular stress that triggers infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells ...
    • Sex-Specific Limitations in Physical Health in Primary Adrenal Insufficiency 

      Didriksen, Nora Møller; Sævik, Åse Bjorvatn; Sortland, Linn Solveig; Øksnes, Marianne; Husebye, Eystein Sverre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) suffer reduced quality of life (QoL), but comparisons with large-scale normative data are scarce. The clinical characteristics associated with reduced QoL are ...
    • 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 ...
