  1. 1. On inferior alveolar nerve function after sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible

    Författare :Anders Westermark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :mandibular nerve; neurosensory disturbance; sagittal split osteotomy;

    Sammanfattning : Osteotomies of the mandible are designed to adjust improper jaw positions. While vertical ramus osteotomy can be used for mandibular setback but not for mandibular advancement, sagittal split osteotomy can be used to move the lower jaw in both directions and this surgical technique also permits mobility of the lower jaw immediately after surgery.

  3. 2. Kolets återkomst : Koldioxidavskiljning och lagring i vetenskap och politik

    Författare :Anders Hansson; Jonas Anshelm; Mats Westermark; Alf Hornborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Carbon capture; carbon storage; coal power; CCS; energy politics; climate politics; scenario; ecological modernization; Koldioxidavskiljning; koldioxidlagring; kolkraft; CCS; ekologisk modernisering; energipolitik; klimatpolitik; scenario; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring;

    Sammanfattning : I denna avhandling studeras en ny teknik för att hantera växthuseffekten. Den nya tekniken heter koldioxidavskiljning och lagring (CCS) och granskades av FN:s klimatpanel 2005 och tillskrevs då möjligheterna att stå för 15-55% av alla CO2-reducering fram till 2100 och detta till en 30% lägre kostnad än vad som annars vore möjligt.

  4. 3. Models of the metabolism of the pancreatic beta-cell

    Författare :Pål Westermark; Anders Lansner; Jean-Pierre Mazat; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : The pancreatic β-cell secretes insulin in response to a raised blood glucose level. Deficiencies in this control system are an important part of the etiology of diabetes. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Accumulation and Cellular Clearance of IAPP and Proteotoxicity of ATTR in Drosophila Models

    Författare :Xiaohong Gu; Gunilla Westermark; Anders Olofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloid; IAPP; ATTR; ATTR amyloidosis; crystalline structure; aggrephagy; Drosophila melanogaster; Gal4-UAS; electron tomography; DAMS; SOHA; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Proteins’ functions are dependent on their three-dimensional (3D) structure. Under certain circumstances, proteins misfold and form aggregates, sometimes leading to amyloidosis. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) builds up amyloid in the pancreatic islet of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

  7. 5. Kinetic stabilization of transthyretin and its role as an inhibitor of Aβ amyloid formation

    Författare :Lina Nilsson; Anders Olofsson; Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Gunilla Westermark; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amyloid; transthyretin; amyloid beta; kinetic stabilizer; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Amyloid formation occurs when normally soluble proteins and peptides misfold and aggregate into intractable threadlike structures called fibrils. There are currently more than 30 proteins associated with this aberrant structure, including the Aβ peptide in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and transthyretin (TTR) in TTR amyloidosis. LÄS MER
