Mechanisms behind anorexia in experimental cancer
(2004)
Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) is observed in 80% of patients with advanced cancer and is one of the most frequent causes of death in cancer. CACS is multifactorial in origin and involves interactions of cytokines, ...
Studies on the assembly of cytosolic lipid droplets. Importance of Phospholipase D and ADRP in the process
(2004)
The storage of triglycerides in cells such as adipocytes, liver or muscle cells is of great physiological importance, having implications for our most important metabolic diseases such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome ...
Human articular chondrocytes. Plasticity and differentiation potentials
(2005)
Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, ...
On cerebrospinal fluid markers of HIV-1 infection
(2003)
HIV-1 infects the central nervous system early in the course of infection and neurological complications are common in HIV-1-infected individuals. Approximately 20% of individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ...
Elective single embryo transfer
(2005)
The aim of the study was to evaluate if the elective single embryo transfer (eSET) strategy couldmaintain delivery rates, with at least one live born child, and at the same time decrease the rate ofmultiple births. A ...
Computational identification of RNA and protein components from the Signal Recognition Particle
(2005)
Problem. The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a ribonucleoprotein particle that targets proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes, to the plasma membrane in Archaea and Bacteria and to the thylakoid membrane ...
The impact of treatment on health related quality of life in head and neck cancer
(2005)
Background: Head and neck cancer is a rare form of cancer and approximately 1000 new cases are diagnosed in Sweden each year. It is more common in men than in women, and treatment includes surgery and/or radiotherapy (both ...
Regulation of vascular function by fluid mechanical forces. Development of a new vascular experimental platform for integrative physiological and molecular biological studies of living conduit vessels
(2000)
The vascular endothelium is a multifunctional interface between blood flow and target organs and is continuously exposed to fluid mechanical forces such as shear stress, compressive, and tensile forces. Both in vivo and ...
