  1. 6. Endothelial cells : dysfunction and repair mechanisms

    Författare :Elzafir Elsheikh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Endothelial cells; endothelial progenitor cells; Wegener s granulomatosis; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; menstruation cycle; stromal cell-derived factor-1;

    Sammanfattning : Endothelial cells (ECs) are crucial component of the normal vascular wall, providing an interface between the bloodstream and surrounding tissue of the blood vessel wall. Endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs) circulate in the blood and migrate to regions of the circulatory system with injured endothelium and ischemic tissues. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Multifunctional Biomimetic Scaffolds Tailored for Cardiac Regeneration

    Författare :Abeni Wickham; Daniel Aili; Bo Liedberg; Carsten Werner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Nature has had millions of years to perfect the structural components of the human body, but has also produced the dysfunctions that result in the cancers and diseases, which ruin that perfection. Congenital heart defects, and myocardial infarction lead to scarring that remodels heart muscle, decreasing the contractility of the heart, with profound consequences for the host. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Transcriptome analysis on in vivo derived laser microbeam microdissected cells. Analysis of smooth muscle transcriptomes

    Författare :Stefan Johannes Scheidl; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :microarray; laser microdissection; RNA amplification; smooth muscle cells; smooth muscle differentiation; smooth muscle transcriptome; smooth muscle diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are found in the respiratory, urogenital, circulatory and digestive systems. They provide contractility and structural support for those organs and perform multiple physiological important functions, such as modulation of blood pressure, regulation of airway resistance, and control of gastrointestinal and genitourinary motility.

  5. 9. Proliferative and protective effects of the GH/IGF-I axis on cardiomyocytes and neural progenitor cells

    Författare :Inger Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :GH; IGF-I; GH secretagogues; Ghrelin; Cardiovascular; Neurogenesis; Hippocampus; Proliferation; Protection;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in the Western world and the majority of cardiovascular deaths are caused by coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease. Growth hormone (GH) is a growth-promoting hormone synthesized by the pituitary. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Developmental dynamics of cardiac progenitors and their role in congenital heart defects

    Författare :Mimmi Mononen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiac progenitors are the fundamental building blocks of the heart and play a central role in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies have revealed that the cell populations in both developing and mature heart are more diverse than previously recognized. LÄS MER
