Interaction of leisure-time physical activity with body mass index on the risk of obesity-related cancers: A pooled study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Physical activity (PA) has been associated with a lower risk of some obesity-related cancers, but the combined association and interaction of PA and body weight on obesity-related cancer risk is less clear. We examined the ... -
Interactions between endothelial and bone marrow stromal cells of relevance to bone tissue engineering
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-02-04)Much research effort is being directed towards the development of bone tissue engineering techniques as alternatives to grafts for the treatment of bone defects. A major challenge is that following implantation of the ... -
Interactions between Fusobacterium nucleatum and Primary Human Oral Cells: In Vitro Studies in Monolayer and Organotypic Culture Models
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-06-21)F. nucleatum is a Gram-negative bacterium, member of normal flora in the oral cavity, which has a major role in the formation of the subgingival biofilm. The adhesins expressed on the cell wall outer membrane confer F. ... -
