On the semitendinosus tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery
(2001-01-12)
, Lysholm score, Tegner activity level, visual analogue scale and patellofemoral score. Apart from hampered kneeling ability (P< 0.001) and slightly impaired hyperextension (P<0.05), both parameters more prominent in the bone-patellar tendon-bone group...
Diagnosis of urinary tract infections : aspects of quality assurance and communication of concepts
(2001-09-07)
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease; most cases are
managed in primary health care (PHC. Dipslide (a type of urine culture
test designed for point of care testing) is used in PHC in Sweden for the
diagnosis ...
Self-reported pain in SLE
(2013-03-14)
: In this cross-sectional cohort study, 84 patients with SLE and 91 age and sex-matched controls from the general population completed self-assessment measures and questionnaires regarding pain (VAS and SF-MPQ), fatigue (MAF), health-related quality of life (SF-36...
Trajectory mapping of human embryonic stem cell cardiogenesis reveals lineage branch points and an ISL1 progenitor-derived cardiac fibroblast lineage
(2021-02-17)
A family of multipotent heart progenitors plays a central role in the generation of diverse myogenic and nonmyogenic lineages in the heart. Cardiac progenitors in particular play a significant role in lineages involved in ...

The transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) superfamily of polypeptide
growth factors encompasses more than 30 diverse mammalian members. They
are involved in most cellular processes, ranging from cell proliferation
and ...
Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, novel functions and future possibilities
(2017-09-01)
Insulin like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) has been shown to be important for cancer cell growth and survival, and is often overexpressed in malignant and premalignant tissues. Ligand binding to IGF-1R induces ...

Flow cytometric methods for assessment of cell-mediated immune responses
(2005-05-27)
for specific and non-specific activation. We consistently recorded higher frequencies of responding T-cells in samples of diluted blood (115-1 A 0) cultured for several days (long-term (LT-ICS), as compared to short-term incubation. The increased levels...
Notch in cancer and cancer metabolism : six degrees of intracellular turbulence
(2016-08-12)
Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved cell-to-cell contact-dependent signaling mechanism in multicellular organisms directing cellular fates both in early development and adult tissues. In metazoans the Notch ...
