11. Cell response to imaging contrast agents suggested for atherosclerotic plaque imaging
Sammanfattning : Oxysterols are the major cytotoxic components of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) that accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. Their uptake by macrophages ensue foam cell formation, atherogenesis and plaque progression. LÄS MER
12. Mechanosensitive transcriptional regulation of gene expression in smooth muscle. Implications for health and disease
Sammanfattning : Smooth muscle participates in forming the wall of hollow organs, tracts, and blood vessels. Therefore, it plays a critical role in mediating vital functions in the body including regulation of blood pressure. LÄS MER
13. Role of coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor (CXADR/CAR) in the regulation of cell plasticity in cancer and inflammation
Sammanfattning : The coxsackie- and adenovirus receptor (CXADR) is a transmembrane protein, which localizes at tight junctions (TJ) in epithelial cells. As highlighted by its name, CXADR was initially identified as a receptor for type C adenoviruses and group B coxsackieviruses. LÄS MER
14. Cellular immunity and inflammation in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis, the major cause of death and disability in western countries, is nowadays recognized as an inflammatory disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL), the major carrier of cholesterol in plasma, is trapped in the subendothelial space, where compounds inside of LDL are chemically modified through lipid peroxidation.

15. Modeling and Simulations of Multiphysics Phenomena ad Performance in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Sammanfattning : Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are considered as the mostpromising alternative power sources with a wide variety of applications owing to their attractive advantages compared to other conventional power sources. During the past decades, the cell performance has been gradually improved. LÄS MER
