16. Toward a tissue engineered blood vessel. Cell cultivation, hemodynamic influences and matrix production
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality in the western world. Thereplacement or repair of diseased blood vessels with human autografts (vein or arteries) orsynthetic vascular grafts (ePTFE or Dacron) has become a routine treatment. Autologous graftsare not always available in all patients. LÄS MER
17. Collagenous Colitis : A Study of Inflammatory Mediators and Growth Factors Based on Segmental Colorectal Perfusion and Immunohistochemistry
Sammanfattning : Collagenous colitis (CC) is an inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by watery diarrhoea without blood, normal endoscopic findings but microscopically colonic mucosal inflammation and increased thickness of the subepithelial collagen band, the latter being a pathognomonic sign.

18. Molecular aspects of WNT/Frizzled signalling in brain angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : The family of WNT lipoglycoproteins consists of 19 secreted proteins that are important for multiple cellular processes including cell proliferation, migration and fate. WNTs induce signalling cascades by binding the seven transmembrane receptors named Frizzleds (FZDs) classified as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). LÄS MER
19. Tissue Factor in Transplantation -aspects on expression and inhibition
Sammanfattning : Organ transplantation provides a treatment of end-stage disease primarily in the kidney, liver and heart. The immunosuppressive treatment regimens of today efficiently prevent early acute rejection; however the long-term survival has not improved to the same extent. LÄS MER
20. Foxf2 and Foxc2, two transcription factors that regulate adipocyte metabolism
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder today and has reached epidemic proportions in many countries. Diet-induced insulin resistance plays a central role in the development of type 2 diabetes. LÄS MER
