  1. 1. 3D visualization of vascular lesions and the role of versican in pulmonary arterial hypertension

    Författare :Christian Westöö; Kärlväggsbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pulmonary arterial hypertension; Synchrotron; Imaging; Phase-contrast; Plexiform; Versican;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition that leads to lethal right heart failure. Available treatments provide relief but are far from curative and the vascular remodeling in PAH has been difficult to decipher. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies on extracellular matrix proteins in vascular disease

    Författare :Åsa Ström; Kärlväggsbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; smooth muscle cells; osteopontin; extracellular matrix; atherosclerosis;

    Sammanfattning : The composition of the vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) is altered during remodeling conditions such as atherosclerosis. The changed ECM regulates events that are important for the progression of disease including smooth muscle cell (SMC) behaviour and collagen fiber formation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Extracellular Matrix Remodelling-Proteoglycan and collagen turnover in arthritis

    Författare :Anette Bjärdahlen; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthritis; collagen; cartilage; myofibroblasts; pannus; proteoglycan; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; reumatologi; Skelett; muskelsystem;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory and systemic disease characterised by joint destruction and pannus formation. To enlarge the understanding how pannus and granulation tissue are formed two animal models were used; one using cartilage wrapped in cotton and implanted into a rat air pouch (AP) and one where mBSA induced arthritis (AIA) was performed.

  5. 4. Fatty acids induce potentially atherogenic changes in extracellular matrix proteoglycans

    Författare :Mariam Rodríguez-Lee; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :proteoglycans; glycosaminoglycans; fatty acids; smooth muscle cells; hepatocytes; LDL binding; remnant clearance; insulin resistance; type 2 diabetes;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are associated with an increased prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). A key step in the initiation of atherogenesis is retention of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the intima by chondroitin sulfate (CS)-rich proteoglycans (PG). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension

    Författare :Ya-Ting Chang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive obliterative vasculopathy with multifactorial etiology and high mortality rate. Endothelial dysfunction, excessive vascular remodeling, inflammation and in situ thrombosis contribute to increased vascular resistance and gradual occlusion of pulmonary vessels. LÄS MER
