1. Circulating proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans during critical illness
Sammanfattning : The endothelial glycocalyx is the carbohydrate rich inner layer of the blood vessels. Important components of the glycocalyx are the proteoglycans with their attached glycosaminoglycans. LÄS MER
2. Prognostic markers in prostate cancer : studies of a watchful waiting cohort with long follow up
Sammanfattning : Background: Prostate Cancer (PC) is a common and highly variable disease. Using current diagnostic methods, the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and histological grading of prostate tissue needle biopsies, it is often difficult to evaluate whether the patient has a PC that requires active treatment or not.

3. Structural Studies of Hyaluronan Hydrogels
Sammanfattning : Hydrogels consist of cross-linked polymer networks with the ability to absorb large amounts of water. In this thesis, the structures of hydrogels consisting of hyaluronic acid (HA) cross-linked by 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) have been investigated. LÄS MER
4. Biolubrication: Structural investigation of lubricin and its glycosylation
Sammanfattning : The sliding articular cartilage surfaces of the human diarthrodial joints are surrounded by biolubricating synovial fluid (SF), creating a perfect low friction biological biobearing structure with excellent lubrication and wear resistance, even during motion. Lubrication is predominately provided by surface adhered biomolecules including phospholipids, hyaluronic acid and synovial lubricin. LÄS MER
5. Pursuing the fever trail : pathogenesis of blood-stage P. falciparum malaria and pregnancy
Sammanfattning : The burden of the most virulent form of human malarias, Plasmodium falciparum, is concentrated among young children and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. Excessive sequestration of parasite-infected red blood cells (pRBCs) in the capillary beds of different organs is the hallmark of P. LÄS MER
