Importance of bacterial hydrogen sulfide in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases
(2017-09-27)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of many end-products of the proteolytic activities in the subgingival
microbiota in patients with periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Although H2S is
generally regarded ...
Fibrinogen, platelet and factor XIII supplementation in cardiac surgery: In vitro and in vivo studies
(2017-11-02)
Background: There is a high risk of bleeding complications in cardiac surgery. Fibrinogen and platelet concentrates are often used to treat perioperative bleeding, but there is little information about its efficacy. The ...
The IL-23 axis and innate immunity in the airways
(2017-11-08)
The Interleukin-23 (IL-23) axis is a communication system that integrates innate and adaptive
immunity. When triggered by microbial stimuli, antigen presenting cells can secrete the cytokine IL-23, leading to the production ...

(Arbets- och miljömedicin, Göteborgs universitet, 2017-06-07)
Critical review and evaluation of those scientific data which are relevant as a
background for discussion of Swedish occupational exposure limits. This volume
consists of the consensus reports given by the Criteria Group ...
Exploring the heterogeneity of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell pool in cord blood
(2017-10-17)
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for a wide range of malignant and hereditary disorders. It is yet the only clinically established stem cell treatment. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor ...

Stem cells in the adult heart - 3D culture, isolation of side population cells and search for a stem cell niche
(2017-10-26)
Cardiac tissue shows a poor regenerative capacity. From 2003 reports, mostly based
on animal models, have showed existence of stem cells also in the heart. Using 14C
measurements, a slow but steady turnover of the cardiac ...
