Image-based assessment of microvascular function and structure in collagen XV- and XVIII-deficient mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01)Collagen XV and XVIII are ubiquitous constituents of basement membranes. We aimed to study the physiological roles of these two components of the permeability barrier non-invasively in striated muscle in mice deficient in ... -
Immune checkpoint molecule herpes virus entry mediator is overexpressed and associated with poor prognosis in human glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Dysregulation of immune checkpoint molecules leads to immune evasion in human tumours but has become a viable target for tumour therapy. Here, we examined expression of Herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM), an ... -
Immunological mechanisms of tumour progression. The rationale for natural killer cell based immunotherapy for glioblastoma
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-10-04)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and malignant brain tumour, where the patients’ median survival after diagnosis is only 14.6 months. Therefore, concerted research is required to develop novel treatments that will ... -
The impact of different animal-derived protein sources on adiposity and glucose homeostasis during ad libitum feeding and energy restriction in already obese mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-23)Low-fat diets and energy restriction are recommended to prevent obesity and to induce weight loss, but high-protein diets are popular alternatives. However, the importance of the protein source in obesity prevention and ... -
The impact of different dietary sources of marine polyunsaturated fatty acids on the fatty acid composition of rat brain, liver and red blood cells.
(Master thesis, 2005-06)There is a general consensus that the physiological activity of fish oil can be ascribable to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). However, the form in which they are introduced in ... -
Impact of Docetaxel on blood-brain barrier function and formation of breast cancer brain metastases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-29)Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent malignant tumor in females and the 2nd most common cause of brain metastasis (BM), that are associated with a fatal prognosis. The increasing incidence from 10% up to 40% ... -
Impact of hypoxia on the expression of cell line markers and behavior of cultured glioma cell lines
(Master thesis, 2011-06-01)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) constitute over 50 % of primary brain tumors in adults. The tumor is heterogeneous and highly infiltrative. Its nature makes it extremely aggressive and incurable. Thus, today's treatment ... -
Impact of marine oils in inflammatory bowel disease and psoriatic arthritis. With focus on effects of seal oil and whale oil on joint pain
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-09-25)The Western diet has changed significantly over the last century, e.g. by an increased ratio of omega-6 (n-6) to n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly due to an increase in the use of vegetable oils like soy ... -
Impaired vascular responses to parasympathetic nerve stimulation and muscarinic receptor activation in the submandibular gland in non-obese diabetic mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-02-06)Introduction Decreased vascular responses to salivary gland stimulation are observed in Sjögren's syndrome patients. We investigate whether impaired vascular responses to parasympathetic stimulation and muscarinic receptor ... -
Implication of the APP gene in intellectual abilities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: Cognitive functions are highly heritable and polygenic, though the source of this genetic influence is unclear. On the neurobiological level, these functions rely on effective neuroplasticity, in which the ... -
Improved Quantification of Prostaglandins in Biological Samples by Optimizing Simultaneously the Relationship Eicosanoid/Internal-Standard and Using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-07)Although a wide variety of articles on quantification of eicosanoids by using internal standards are published every year, little has been done on how much internal standard should be added. This article demonstrates that ... -
In silico identification and experimental validation of hits active against KPC-2 β-lactamase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-29)Bacterial resistance has become a worldwide concern, particularly after the emergence of resistant strains overproducing carbapenemases. Among these, the KPC-2 carbapenemase represents a significant clinical challenge, ... -
In vitro and in vivo studies of a novel blood brain barrier permeabilizing peptide K16ApoE
(Master thesis, 2016-05-30)Brain metastasis is a common and severe complication arising in up to 40 % of cancer patients. The prognoses for patients with brain metastases are dismal, with a median treated survival of around 10 months. Treatment of ... -
The in vitro effect of cytokine autoantibodies on Th17-differentiation and function
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01) -
In vitro treatment of melanoma brain metastasis by simultaneously targeting the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-16)Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, with a high propensity to metastasize to the brain. More than 60% of melanomas have the BRAFV600E mutation, which activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase ... -
The in vivo effect of integrin α11-deficiency and PDGFR inhibition in breast cancer
(Master thesis, 2018-10-19)Background: The tumor microenvironment is a major contributor to breast cancer progression. The abnormal composition of the extracellular matrix and its deregulated interactions with stromal cells, which is characterizing ... -
In vivo mapping of tumor microcirculation parameters using dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging
(Master thesis, 2004) -
In-depth cerebrospinal fluid quantitative proteome and deglycoproteome analysis: presenting a comprehensive picture of pathways and processes affected by multiple sclerosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)In the current study, we conducted a quantitative in-depth proteome and deglycoproteome analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and neurological controls using mass spectrometry ... -
