Suppression of bile acid synthesis as a tipping point in the disease course of primary sclerosing cholangitis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background & Aims: Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists and fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) analogues suppress bile acid synthesis and are being investigated for their potential therapeutic efficacy in cholestatic liver ... -
Early radiologic signal of responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade in microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient metastatic colorectal cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) results in radiologic tumour response dynamics that differ from chemotherapy efficacy measures and require an early signal of clinical utility. Methods: Previously untreated, ... -
Glycated albumin and continuous glucose monitoring metrics across pregnancy in women with pre-gestational diabetes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction: Glycated albumin (GA), a biomarker reflecting short-term glycaemia, may be useful to assess glycaemic control in pregnancy. We examined the association between GA and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics ... -
Diets differing in carbohydrate cellularity and amount similarly reduced visceral fat in people with obesity - a randomized controlled trial (CARBFUNC)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background & aims: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume is associated with common lifestyle diseases. Dietary quality, including food matrix and degree of carbohydrate cellularity, as well as the carbohydrate/fat ratio, ... -
Loss-of-function variants in the schizophrenia risk gene SETD1A alter neuronal network activity in human neurons through the cAMP/PKA pathway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Heterozygous loss-of-function (LoF) mutations in SETD1A, which encodes a subunit of histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase, cause a neurodevelopmental syndrome and increase the risk for schizophrenia. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we ... -
The neutral amino acid transporter SLC7A10 in adipose tissue, obesity and insulin resistance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes represent major global health challenges, and a better mechanistic understanding of the altered metabolism in these conditions may give improved treatment strategies. SLC7A10, ... -
High circulating levels of the homeostatic chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 predict mortality and disease severity in Covid-19
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Immune dysregulation is a major factor in the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The homeostatic chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 have been implicated as mediators of tissue inflammation, but ... -
Comparison of ultrasound vector flow imaging and CFD simulations with PIV measurements of flow in a left ventricular outflow trackt phantom - Implications for clinical use and in silico studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this study we have compared two modalities for flow quantification from measurement data; ultrasound (US) and shadow particle image velocimetry (PIV), and a flow simulation model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). ... -
Complement C4 Copy Number Variation is Linked to SSA/Ro and SSB/La Autoantibodies in Systemic Inflammatory Autoimmune Diseases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective Copy number variation of the C4 complement components, C4A and C4B, has been associated with systemic inflammatory autoimmune diseases. This study was undertaken to investigate whether C4 copy number variation ... -
MicroRNA serum profiles and chronic graft-versus-host disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is the most common long-term complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). During the last decade, the interest of micro RNAs (miRNAs) in the ... -
On the importance of parenting in externalizing disorders: an evaluation of indirect genetic effects in families
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Theoretical models of the development of childhood externalizing disorders emphasize the role of parents. Empirical studies have not been able to identify specific aspects of parental behaviors explaining a ... -
Living With Ovarian Cancer: Transitions Lost in Translation
(Journal article, 2022)Background: Living with ovarian cancer involves uncertainty, fear of recurrence, and premature death while preparing for a life after treatment. The women depend on health care professionals while moving from being healthy ... -
Fatigue: a frequent and biologically based phenomenon in newly diagnosed celiac disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Fatigue is increasingly recognized as a major complaint in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although fatigue is assumed to represent a significant problem in celiac disease, existing knowledge ... -
Impaired activation of STAT5 upon IL-2 stimulation in Tregs and elevated sIL-2R in Sjögren’s syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and the high-affinity IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) are essential for the survival of regulatory T cells (Tregs) which are the main players in immune tolerance and prevention of autoimmune diseases. ... -
