1. Filamin A in Cardiovascular Remodeling
Sammanfattning : Filamin A (FLNA) is a large actin-binding cytoskeletal protein that stabilizes actin networks and integrates them with cell membranes. FLNA is therefore important for cell motility and organ development. LÄS MER
2. Novel functions of cardiovascular P2 receptors
Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to examine the expression and function of the extracellular nucleotide P2 receptors in the cardiovascular system. In the cardiovascular system nucleotides are released during shear stress, hypoxia, ischemia, from endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, aggregating platelets, inflammatory cells and erythrocytes. LÄS MER
3. Cardiovascular responses to hypovolemic circulatory stress in women : With special reference to venous compliance and capacitance
Sammanfattning : Acute haemorrhage is a leading cause of death in trauma. Young women (YW) seem more susceptible to hypovolemic circulatory stress than young men (YM), but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. LÄS MER
4. Regulatory Immune Responses and Repair Mechanisms in Atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of lipid rich plaques in the arterial wall. Rupture of a plaque results in clinical manifestations such myocardial infarction or stroke. LÄS MER
5. Interrogating Atherosclerotic Plaque Biology Through Responses to Cardiovascular Risk Management and Imaging
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis causes more deaths than any other disease worldwide, and the cause of death is most commonly a rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, resulting in a thrombotic event in the heart or brain. The major risk factors for plaque progression are well known, but all the mechanisms that drive atherosclerotic plaques towards catastrophic events are not yet fully elucidated. LÄS MER
