1. Cardiomyocyte Cell Cycle, Renewal and Isolation
Sammanfattning : Heart disease results from the loss of cardiomyocytes following myocardial damage and is a leading cause of death worldwide. Stimulating the endogenous regeneration of cardiomyocytes or isolating them from in vitro culture is an attractive therapeutic strategy. LÄS MER
2. About hyaluronan in the hypertrophic heart : studies on coordinated regulation of extracellular matrix signalling
Sammanfattning : Background. Myocardial hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Independent of underlying disease, the cardiac muscle strives in different ways to compensate for an increased workload. This remodelling of the heart includes changes in the extracellular matrix which will affect systolic and diastolic cardiac function. LÄS MER
3. Cardiac hypertrophy : transcription patterns, hypertrophic progression and extracellular signalling
Sammanfattning : Background: The aim of this thesis was to study transcription patterns and extracellular signalling of the hypertrophic heart to better understand the mechanisms initiating, controlling and maintaining cardiac hypertrophy.Cardiac hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

4. In vitro toxicity testing using human pluripotent stem cell derivatives
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
5. Cell shape determines gene expression in cardiomyocytes
Sammanfattning : The fundamental biological processes involve sensing biophysical stress, strain and forces along with conversion of these stimuli into chemical signals. These processes are linked to the atrophic and hypertrophic responses. Deficiencies in these biological processes are associated with different diseases, particularly in the circulation system.
