Cyanobacteria from terrestrial and marine sources contain apoptogens able to overcome chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-03)In this study, we investigated forty cyanobacterial isolates from biofilms, gastropods, brackish water and symbiotic lichen habitats. Their aqueous and organic extracts were used to screen for apoptosis-inducing activity ... -
Cycle-network expansion plan in Oslo: Modeling costeffectiveness analysis and health equity impact
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Physical inactivity is the leading cause of non-communicable diseases, and further research on the cost-effectiveness of interventions that target inactivity is warranted. Socioeconomic status is vital in this process. We ... -
Cyclic AMP can promote APL progression and protect myeloid leukemia cells against anthracycline-induced apoptosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We show that cyclic AMP (cAMP) elevating agents protect blasts from patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) against death induced by first-line anti-leukemic anthracyclines like daunorubicin (DNR). The cAMP effect ... -
Cyclooxygenase inhibitors impair CD4 T cell immunity and exacerbate Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in aerosol-challenged mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Tuberculosis, caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), kills over 1.6 million people each year despite availability of antibiotics. The increase in drug resistant Mtb strains is a major public health ... -
Cyclothymic temperament: Associations with ADHD, other psychopathology, and medical morbidity in the general population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Cyclothymic temperament (CT) is an affective disposition often preceding bipolar disorder (BD), and is the most common affective temperament in patients with BD. In depressed patients, CT is a predictor for ... -
Cystatin C proteoforms in chronic kidney disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Cystatin C, a cysteine protease inhibitor, is used as a biomarker of renal function. It offers several advantages compared to creatinine, and formulas for the estimation of the glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin ... -
CytoCy5S™, a compound of many structures. in vitro and in vivo evaluation of four near-infrared fluorescent substrates of nitroreductase (NTR)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)CytoCy5S™, a quenched, red-shifted fluorescent probe, has been used to exploit the imaging potential of the nitroreductase (NTR) reporter gene platform. Its use has been reported in a number of publications, however there ... -
Cytokine concentrations in plasma from children with severe and non-severe community acquired pneumonia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-25)Background: Children in low and middle-income countries have a high burden of pneumonia. Measuring the cytokine responses may be useful to identify novel markers for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating pneumonia. Objective: ... -
Cytokine network in adults with falciparum malaria and HIV-1: increased IL-8 and IP-10 levels are associated with disease severity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-11)Background Co-infection with malaria and HIV increases the severity and mortality of both diseases, but the cytokine responses related to this co-infection are only partially characterised. The aim of this study was to ... -
Cytokine Patterns as Predictors of Antibiotic Treatment Effect in Chronic Low Back Pain with Modic Changes: Subgroup Analyses of a Randomized Trial (AIM Study)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective: Randomized trials testing the effect of antibiotics for chronic low back pain (LBP) with vertebral bone marrow changes on MRI (Modic changes) report inconsistent results. A proposed explanation is subgroups with ... -
Cytokine Patterns in Tuberculosis Infection; IL-1ra, IL-2 and IP-10 Differentiate Borderline QuantiFERON-TB Samples from Uninfected Controls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-29)Background: Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) do not discriminate between active tuberculosis (TB) and latent TB infection (LTBI), which limit their use in TB endemic areas. Subjects with QuantiFERON-TB (QFT) results ... -
Cytokine profiles in inflammation
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-16)Inflammation is a complex tissue response to harmful stimuli such as microorganisms, damaged or dead cells, or irritants. The inflammatory process can be initiated by many different diseases, including thromboses, neoplastic ... -
Cytokine release syndrome in the immunotherapy of hematological malignancies: The biology behind and possible clinical consequences
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is an acute systemic inflammatory syndrome characterized by fever and multiple organ dysfunction associated with (i) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, (ii) therapeutic antibodies, ... -
The cytokine-mediated crosstalk between primary human acute myeloid cells and mesenchymal stem cells alters the local cytokine network and the global gene expression profile of the mesenchymal cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11)Interactions between acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts and neighboring stromal cells are important for disease development and chemosensitivity. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the cytokine-mediated crosstalk ... -
Cytokines - possible biomarkers for headache syndromes, with special reference to migraine
(Master thesis, 2011-05-31)Background: The trigeminovascular theory suggests that neurogenic inflammation and cytokines play an important role in migraine pathophysiology. Previous studies have linked different cytokines to migraine pathogenesis, ... -
Cytokines in Renal Cell Carcinoma : With emphasis on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6)
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-11-12)Aims: In the first three papers we aimed to investigate if different circulating cytokines in blood drawn preoperatively can predict outcome after surgery in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The last paper aimed ... -
