Role of monocyte procoagulant functions in the pathophysiology of arterial and venous thrombosis
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-12-16)Monocytter, en klasse hvite blodlegemer i blodet, spiller en sentral rolle i kroppens immunforsvar og for blodets evne til å levre seg og danne en blodpropp. De kan ved stimulering, som ved sykelige tilstander, uttrykke vevsfaktor (TF) på celleoverflaten. TF er ansvarlig for å sette i gang blodproppmekanismen. En blodpropp kan dannes i kroppens samleårer (vener – kalles da dyp venøs trombose eller ... -
The role of NADPH oxidases in diabetic cardiomyopathy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)Systemic changes during diabetes such as high glucose, dyslipidemia, hormonal changes and low grade inflammation, are believed to induce structural and functional changes in the cardiomyocyte associated with the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

A role of Sp1 binding motifs in basal and large T-Antigen-induced promoter activities of human polyomavirus HPyV9 and its variant UF-1
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-14)Human polyomavirus 9 (HPyV9) was originally detected in the serum of a renal transplant patient. Seroepidemiological studies showed that ~20-50% of the human population have antibodies against this virus. HPyV9 has not yet been associated with any disease and little is known about the route of infection, transmission, host cell tropism, and genomic variability in circulating strains. Recently, the ... -

The Role of Stroke as a Trigger for Incident Venous Thromboembolism: Results from a Population-based Case-Crossover Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-22)Stroke is associated with a short-term increased risk of subsequent venous thromboembolism (VTE). It is unclear to what extent this association is mediated by strokerelated complications that are potential triggers for VTE, such as immobilization and infection. We aimed to investigate the role of acute stroke as a trigger for incident VTE while taking other concomitant VTE triggers into account. ... -
