6. Gene therapy in a new model of delayed wound healing
Sammanfattning : Diabetes wounds result in significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and huge health care expenses. As of yet, no optimal animal models of diabetic wound healing exist to study potential beneficial therapies. Porcine wound healing is very similar to human wound healing. LÄS MER
7. Molecular Mechanisms of Graves' Ophthalmopathy. A focus on smoking and radioiodine
Sammanfattning : Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hyperthyroidism and is caused by an interplayof genetic and environmental factors. One-third of patients with GD develop Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). Keyprocesses in the pathogenesis of GO are inflammation and adipogenesis in orbital tissue. LÄS MER
8. Processing of the amyloid precursor protein and its paralogues amyloid precursor-like proteins 1 and 2
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which is histopathologically characterised by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Amyloid plaques consist of the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) that can form aggregates in the brain. Aβ is generated from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) through proteolytic cleavage. LÄS MER
9. Mechanisms of Sensitization to Apoptosis in Multiple Myeloma
Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological tumor of plasma blast/plasma cell origin heterogeneous with respect to the morphological differentiation stage of the tumor cells, genetic alterations and course of disease. A challenge in MM research is to overcome resistance to therapy, which inevitably arises. LÄS MER
10. Targeting the GH/IGF-1 axis with novel, small molecule inhibitors
Sammanfattning : The growth hormone (GH) / insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family of ligands, binding proteins and receptors play multiple roles in cell growth, metabolism and development. In addition, numerous studies have demonstrated the pathophysiological importance of the GH/IGF-1 axis. LÄS MER
