6. Tactile sensing of prostate cancer : a resonance sensor method evaluated using human prostate tissue in vitro
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most frequent type of cancer in men in Europe and the USA. The methods presently used to detect and diagnose prostate cancer are inexact, and new techniques are needed. LÄS MER
7. Mechanisms and Therapeutic Interventions of Instant Blood-Mediated Inflammatory Reaction (IBMIR)
Sammanfattning : Intraportal transplantation of isolated islets of Langerhans is a procedure approaching clinical acceptance as a treatment for patients with type I diabetes mellitus. One major problem with this treatment is that large amounts of cells are lost at the time of infusion into the portal vein, resulting in a low level of engraftment of the islets. LÄS MER
8. Platelets : with special reference to platelet density subpopulations, stable coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation
Sammanfattning : The current thesis was divided into two parts. Basic platelet research is the topic of the first section. The subsequent clinical part examines platelet reactivity in stable angina pectoris (AP) and in atrial fibrillation.Platelet heterogeneity was investigated in the first section (papers 1 and 2).

9. The role of platelet thrombin receptors PAR1 and PAR4 in health and disease
Sammanfattning : Blood cells are continuously flowing in our systems maintaining haemostasis in the arteries and veins. If a vessel is damaged, the smallest cell fragments in the blood (platelets) are directed to cover the wound and plug the leakage to prevent blood loss. Most of the time platelets stop the blood leak without any difficulties. LÄS MER
10. The thrombin receptors PAR1 and PAR4 and their relative role in platelet activation
Sammanfattning : Many blood cell mechanisms in the human body are working all the time to maintain haemostasis in the blood vessels. Once a wound arises platelets are alerted via different substances to cover the wound and prevent loss of blood. Most of the times these mechanisms do stop the blood, and further heal the wound.
