  1. 6. Cell Membrane Homeostasis in Mammals - The roles of ADIPOR2 and TLCD1 & 2

    Författare :Henrik Palmgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane lipids; Membrane fluidity; Membrane homeostasis; Dietary lipids; Phospholipids; Genetics; Lipotoxicity; Lipidomics; ADIPOR2; TLCD1; TLCD2;

    Sammanfattning : Ten nanometers. That is the approximate thickness of the plasma membrane that separates the extracellular space from the entire cellular machinery. An asymmetrical bilayer consisting of predominantly phospholipids in which proteins and carbohydrates are anchored and exert their function. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Integrin αVβ3-Directed Contraction by Connective Tissue Cells : Role in Control of Interstitial Fluid Pressure and Modulation by Bacterial Proteins

    Författare :Åsa Lidén; Kristofer Rubin; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; interstitial fluid pressure; collagen gel contraction; integrin αVβ3; septic shock; fibronectin; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed at studying mechanisms involved in control of tissue fluid homeostasis during inflammation.The interstitial fluid pressure (PIF) is of importance for control of tissue fluid balance. A lowering of PIF in vivo will result in a transport of fluid from the circulation into the tissue, leading to edema. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Regulation of Renal Hyaluronan in Water Handling : Studies in vivo and in vitro

    Författare :Sara Stridh; Peter Hansell; Mats Rundgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kidney; water balance; fluid handling; diabetes; nephropathy; ACE fetopathy; reabsorption; hyaluronic acid; glycosaminoglycan; GAG; extracellular matrix; mTOR; rapamycin; streptozotocin;

    Sammanfattning : Hyaluronan (HA) is a negatively charged extracellular matrix (ECM) component with water-attracting properties. It is the dominating ECM component in the renal medullary interstitium, where the amount changes in relation to hydration status: it increases during hydration and decreases during dehydration.

  5. 9. Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and the APOE polymorphism

    Författare :Ronald Lautner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; Biomarkers; APOE; Cerebrospinal fluid; β-amyloid;

    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

  7. 10. Affinity assays for profiling disease-associated proteins in human plasma

    Författare :Sanna Byström; Jochen M. Schwenk; Claudia Fredolini; Peter Nilsson; Jennifer Van Eyk; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proteomics; affinity proteomics; immunoassay; antibody microarray; suspension bead array; protein profiling; immuno-capture; plasma; serum; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarker discovery; multiple sclerosis; malignant melanoma; mammographic breast density; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Affinity-based proteomics offers opportunities for the discovery and validation of disease-associated proteins in human body fluids. This thesis describes the use of antibody-based immunoassays for multiplexed analysis of proteins in human plasma, serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). LÄS MER
