  1. 1. Effects of mifepristone on the human endometrium and the fallopian tube during the luteal phase

    Författare :Xiaoxi Sun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Mifepristone; endometrial receptivity; emergency contraception; PR-B; eNOS; IGFBP-1; PRL; HB-EGF; HB-EGF receptors HER1 and HER4;

    Sammanfattning : Mifepristone given postovulatory has been shown effective for contraception, but the precise mechanism of action is still poorly understood. A better understanding of the mechanisms of action of mifepristone, when used for contraception, is important for further development and optimizing the regimen of use. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Implantation : morphological and biochemical characterization of the receptive human endometrium

    Författare :Anneli Stavréus-Evers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Our knowledge of the human implantation process, and the role of the endometrium. during this process, is very scarce. The endometrium is only receptive for implantation during a limited period, the so-called implantation window, after which it becomes refractory to the blastocyst. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Matrix metalloproteases and cell motility in malignant mesothelioma

    Författare :Zhiwen Liu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Matrix; metalloproteases MMPs ; cell motility; growth factors; malignant mesothelioma; invasion;

    Sammanfattning : Invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor cells requires destruction of and migration through extracellular matrix (ECM) such as basement membrane and interstitial stroma. The ECM-degrading proteases produced by tumor cells and stromal cells and cell motility play a crucial role in this process. LÄS MER

    Författare :Anders Ruck; Nils-Erik Heldin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Bladder cancer is one of the most common human cancers which, on a worldwide basis, represents 3-4 % of all malignancies. It is primarily occuring in people over 60 and males are about 2-3 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than are women. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Regulatory Immune Responses and Repair Mechanisms in Atherosclerosis

    Författare :Sara Rattik; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
