Endometrial carcinoma; can biomarkers aid in the prediction of aggressive disease? A study with focus on preoperative tumour markers
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-05-04)Background: Although endometrial cancer in general has a good prognosis, 15-20% recurs. Surgery is the main treatment with lymph node sampling increasingly advocated as compulsory for adequate staging. In metastatic disease, ... -
Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Pumps and Tumor Cell Differentiation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium homeostasis plays an essential role in cellular calcium signaling, intra-ER protein chaperoning and maturation, as well as in the interaction of the ER with other organelles. Calcium is ... -
Endorectal ultrasonography, strain elastography and MRI differentiation of rectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02)Aim Strain elastography is a method for recording tissue hardness. Strain in different areas may be compared using strain ratio (SR). The aims of this study were to validate a previously proposed SR cut-off value of 1.25 ... -

Endothelial cells influence the osteogenic potential of bone marrow stromal cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-11-17)Background: Improved understanding of the interactions between bone cells and endothelial cells involved in osteogenesis should aid the development of new strategies for bone tissue engineering. The aim of the present study ... -
Endothelial dysfunction in ME/CFS patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)Objective: A few earlier studies have found impaired endothelial function in patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The present study investigated large-vessel and small-vessel endothelial ... -
Endothelial microvascular networks affect gene-expression profiles and osteogenic potential of tissue-engineered constructs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-17)Introduction: A major determinant of the potential size of cell/scaffold constructs in tissue engineering is vascularization. The aims of this study were twofold: first to determine the in vitro angiogenic and osteogenic ... -
Endotoxin, dust and exhaled nitrogen oxide among hand pickers of coffee; a cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-12)Background Primary coffee processing takes place in countries where coffee is grown, and may include hand picking of coffee to remove low quality beans. Hand picking is mostly performed by women. No previous studies on ... -
