16. Oxidative stress and alterations in the mammalian iron metabolism : A study on iron, inflammation, oxidative stress and neurodegeneration
Sammanfattning : Iron is essential for all living organisms, from bacteria to man for a broad variety of biological functions, including oxygen transport and DNA synthesis. However, iron can also be toxic, due to its involvement in the formation of highly reactive oxygen species through Fenton chemistry. LÄS MER
17. Non-canonical ATG8 conjugation in ESCRT-driven membrane remodeling processes
Sammanfattning : ATG8 family proteins have the unique ability to conjugate to membrane lipids. Initially identified as a hallmark of autophagy, ATG8 lipidation is emerging as an important regulator of a growing list of non-degradative cellular functions. LÄS MER
18. Visualising neurodegeneration in the living brain : Preclinical evaluation of PET radioligands
Sammanfattning : With an ageing population, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) escalates yearly. Pathological hallmarks of AD and PD include aggregated proteins and synaptic dysfunction. LÄS MER
19. Cellular and molecular factors in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmunity and comorbidities
Sammanfattning : Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are systemic rheumatic autoimmune diseases having a major impact on patient’s wellbeing. Besides fatigue, pain and direct damage to exocrine glands in SS, and various target organs, such as skin, joints, kidneys and brain in SLE, these diseases confer an increased risk of lymphoma development and can cause an autoimmune condition in the foetus of pregnant patients, termed neonatal lupus.

20. One-click away from higher contrast : Improvements to peripheral clearance for same-day immunoPET in Alzheimer’s disease
Sammanfattning : The brain is a challenging target for antibody-based positron emission tomography (immunoPET) to image amyloid-beta (Aβ). Antibodies detect pathology with high sensitivity, but due to their size and biological half-life, they cause a high background radiation, if radiolabelled. LÄS MER
