1. Fibromodulin and Dystrophin in Atherosclerosis: Novel roles for extracellular matrix in plaque development
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease represents nearly half the cases of noncommunicable diseases worldwide and is the leading global cause of death. The main underlying cause is atherosclerosis, and in atherosclerotic plaque progression the structure, composition and integrity of a dynamic extracellular matrix (ECM) is one very important factor.

2. Neuromuscular injuries and pharyngeal dysfunction in snorers and sleep apnea patients : a study on pathological changes in the human soft palate and its relationship with swallowing dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent progressive sleep disorder with serious negative health consequences. Although several risk factors such as obesity can make an individual vulnerable to develop OSA, the pathophysiological mechanism for the collapse of the upper airway is unclear. LÄS MER
3. Evaluation of surgical methods for sleep apnea and snoring
Sammanfattning : Background: Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are both common disorders with a number of negative health effects. The safety and efficacy of treating snoring and OSA surgically have been questioned and there has been a lack of studies in the field. LÄS MER
4. Challenging the mystique Connection. Deciphering cell-matrix interactions role in atherosclerosis and restenosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause for myocardal infarction, stroke and peripheral arterial disease, collectively referred to as cardiovascular diseases. These represent the major cause of death globally. LÄS MER
5. Proteomic strategies for blood biomarker development in rare dystrophinopathies
Sammanfattning : Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are two rare genetic disorders of the family dystrophinopathy. They are both caused by the lack of, or reduced production of, the protein dystrophin. LÄS MER
