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 ... -
In-depth characterization of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteome displayed through the CSF proteome resource (CSF-PR)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11)In this study, the human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteome was mapped using three different strategies prior to Orbitrap LC-MS/MS analysis: SDS-PAGE and mixed mode reversed phase-anion exchange for mapping the global CSF ... -
In-vitro characterization of STUB1 mutations in recessively inherited spinocerebellar ataxia-16
(Master thesis, 2016-05-31)Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxia (ARCA) develops as a result of inefficient protein turnover and further accumulation of damaged proteins inside the cells. Some of mutations associated with ARCA are identified in the ... -
Increased Fibrosis and Interstitial Fluid Pressure in Two Different Types of Syngeneic Murine Carcinoma Grown in Integrin β3-Subunit Deficient Mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03-30)Stroma properties affect carcinoma physiology and direct malignant cell development. Here we present data showing that αVβ3 expressed by stromal cells is involved in the control of interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), ... -
Increased infiltration and tolerised antigen-specific CD8+ TEM cells in tumor but not peripheral blood have no impact on survival of HCMV+ glioblastoma patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antigens in glioblastoma (GBM) present opportunities for personalised immunotherapy. However, their presence in GBM tissue is still under debate, and evidence of their impact on functional ... -
Increased microvascular permeability in mice lacking Epac1 (Rapgef3)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)Aim: Maintenance of the blood and extracellular volume requires tight control of endothelial macromolecule permeability, which is regulated by cAMP signalling. This study probes the role of the cAMP mediators rap guanine ... -
Increased plasma colloid osmotic pressure facilitates the uptake of therapeutic macromolecules in a xenograft tumour model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-08)Elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP) is a characteristic of most solid tumors. Clinically, TIFP may hamper the uptake of chemotherapeutic drugs into the tumor tissue reducing their therapeutic efficacy. In ... -
Induction of mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration is associated with mTOR regulation in hepatocytes of rats treated with the pan-PPAR activator tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA)
