11. Biomarkers in sepsis and other severe infections
Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases constitute a major global health problem. The presenting clinical picture results from a mixture of direct toxic actions by the microbiological agent and of the immune response mounted by the host. LÄS MER
12. Biomarkers of ionising radiation relevant to carcinogenesis : Dose, dose rate and LET dependency of the responses
Sammanfattning : A better understanding of the relationship between ionising radiation (IR) dose, dose rate and radiation quality, and the risk of stochastic effects would improve risk extrapolation from atomic bomb survivors’ data. Owing to insufficient statistical power of epidemiological studies to detect excess incidence of cancer following low doses of IR delivered at low dose rates (LDLDR), as typically encountered in most common human exposure scenarios, radiobiological experiments are fundamental to describe the biological effectiveness of LDLDR and to define the underlying molecular mechanisms.

13. Proximity Ligation Assays for Disease Biomarkers Analysis
Sammanfattning : One of the pressing needs in the field of disease biomarker discovery is new technologies that could allow high performance protein analysis in different types of clinical material, such as blood and solid tissues. This thesis includes four approaches that address important limitations of current technologies, thus enabling highly sensitive, specific and parallel protein measurements. LÄS MER
14. Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and the APOE polymorphism
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers reflecting the core pathology of AD are now widely used for diagnosis making, in particular β-amyloid[1-42] (Aβ42) reflecting amyloid plaque pathology, phosphorylated tau (P-tau) reflecting neurofibrillary tangle pathology and total tau (T-tau) reflecting general neurodegeneration. In addition, blood-based biomarkers for AD are in the pipeline with recent studies showing promising diagnostic potential. LÄS MER
15. Predictors and early biomarkers in Giant Cell Arteritis
Sammanfattning : AbstractGiant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is the most common vasculitis in adults among people in the western world. The pathogenesis and etiology are not fully understood.In Study I, we investigated potential predictors for developing GCA, i.e. LÄS MER
