11. Enhancing the therapeutic effect of biological drugs with protein engineering : Focusing on pre-clinical Alzheimer’s disease therapy
Sammanfattning : Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is one of the main pathological hallmarks in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The soluble Aβ aggregates (oligomers and protofibrils) have shown to be the most harmful species. Hence, targeting these aggregates can be of therapeutic potential. LÄS MER
12. The dynamics of red blood cells and iron status during infancy
Sammanfattning : Red blood cell (RBC) and iron status biomarkers are commonly used in clinical diagnostics. However, interpretations of infant test results are inherently challenging. LÄS MER
13. Human serum transferrin glycosylation pattern : population differences, analytical methodology and application as a biomarker for testing of alcohol abuse and CDG
Sammanfattning : Alcohol use and abuse is a major social and economic problem in many societies. Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is a widely used and highly specific biochemical alcohol marker of prolonged alcohol abuse. LÄS MER
14. New markers of alcohol consumption : development and evaluation of the clinical use of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin in serum and 5-hydroxytryptophol in urine
Sammanfattning : Treatment of alcohol dependence and evaluation of treatment and research programs are often based on self-reports of the patients. Since the alcohol consumption pattern does not always relate to the reported behaviour there is a need for validation by reliable biochemical markers. LÄS MER
15. Cadmium exposure and iron status
Sammanfattning : People are exposed to cadmium, a ubiquitous toxic metal, mainly via basic foods such as cereals and vegetables. Cadmium accumulates in the kidney, and renal tubular damage is considered the critical effect. Recently, association with osteoporosis at environmental exposure levels was indicated. LÄS MER
