  1. 1. Optimization of breast tomosynthesis: Computer simulations of image acquisition and glandular dose

    Författare :Hannie Förnvik; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :breast tomosynthesis; Monte Carlo simulation; acquisition parameters; software breast phantom; microcalcifications; breast density; glandular dose; glandular distribution;

    Sammanfattning : Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is an X-ray imaging technique recently introduced as an alternative or complement to standard digital mammography (DM) in breast imaging and breast cancer screening. In BT, a set of projection images is acquired over a limited angular range and reconstructed into a volume of slice images. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Structure, evolution and expression of glandular kallikrein genes

    Författare :Yvonne Ceder; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ileum.; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; Tissue distribution; Androgen responsive element; Ortholog; Evolution; Prostate cancer; Glandular kallikreins; Prostate-specific antigen;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a worldwide used tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. It is a serine protease and belongs to the family of glandular kallikreins. Humans have three classical glandular kallikreins, but it has been reported that rodents have many more. LÄS MER

  4. 3. G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER) in the female reproductive tract: from physiology to cancer

    Författare :Zuzana Kolkova; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogen effects are mediated either through genomic action involving the classical estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and beta (ERß), which function as transcription factors in the nucleus, or through rapid non-genomic action via receptors associated with plasma membrane. Recently, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family was ascribed estrogen receptor properties and proposed as a candidate for mediating non-genomic estrogen signaling. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Saliva: a cell suspension of epithelial cells harboring the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and the growth factor EGF

    Författare :Alexandra Aidoukovitch; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Saliva; Oral health; Innate immunity; Cathelicidin; LL-37; Host defense peptides; EGF; Saliva; Oral health; Innate immunity; Cathelicidin; LL-37; Host defence peptides; EGF;

    Sammanfattning : Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health through its physical and chemical properties that provide various protective functions. One of its essential components is the human host defense peptide LL-37, which is produced by immune cells and epithelial cells, and participates in the first line of defense against pathogens.

  7. 5. A comparative study of estrogen receptors a and b in the female reproductive tract

    Författare :Hong Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens have a pronounced influence on the function of the female reproductive system. The regulation of biological processes by estrogens is mediated via specific intracellular receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta, which function as regulators of transcriptional activity. LÄS MER
