  1. 1. The neuropeptide VIP and the IL-6 family of cytokines in bone : effects on bone resorption, cytokine expression and receptor signalling in osteoblasts and bone marrow stromal cells

    Författare :Emma Persson; Ulf Lerner; Andreas Kindmark; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; osteoblast; bone resorption; cytokines; IL-6; neuropeptides; VIP; transcription factor; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Bone tissue is continuously degraded and rebuilt to respond to the needs of the body. Cells of the osteoblast lineage are responsible for the formation of bone, whereas the resorption of bone tissue is carried out by osteoclasts. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hormone replacement therapy in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Helena Forsblad d'Elia; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; randomised controlled trials; hormone replacement therapy; estrogen; osteoporosis; bone mineral density; bone remodelling; cartilage remodelling; cytokines; insulin-like growth factor 1;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is 2-3 times more frequent in women as compared to men. The peak incidence in women coincides with the years around the menopause and the course of RA is also influenced by events associated with hormonal alterations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Evaluation of biomarkers in chronic inflammatory diseases

    Författare :Zahra Golabkesh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to assess the role of biomarkers in chronic inflammatory disease. The goal of the first study was to investigate the association of sIL-6R and sgp130 levels and risk of first myocardial infarction (MI), and to explore the potential interaction between these two biomarkers in association with risk of MI.

  5. 4. Osteotropic cytokines : expression in human gingival fibroblasts and effects on bone

    Författare :Py Palmqvist; Andersson Göran; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :osteoblasts; osteoclasts; fibroblasts; cytokines; IL-6; LIF; OSM; IL-4; IL-3; bone resorption; odontologi; Odontology;

    Sammanfattning : Bone metabolism is regulated by endocrine and paracrine signalling molecules influencing bone cells in the continuously remodelling bone tissue. These molecules include a variety of osteotropic stimulatory and inhibitory cytokines. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Engineered extracellular vesicles for biomedical applications

    Författare :Dhanu Gupta; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Nature's very own nanoparticle, Extracellular vesicles (EVs), are lipid membrane-enclosed vesicles encapsulated with diverse biomolecules and are actively secreted by all cell types for intercellular communication. The unique properties of EVs, such as stability in circulation, biocompatibility, immune tolerance, and the ability to cross biological barriers, render EVs a next-generation drug delivery tool.
