1. 16. A canonical correlation analysis- based approach to identify causal genes in atherosclerosis

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Crisencia Sizyoogno; [2018]
   Keywords : Canonical correlation analysis; Atherosclerosis; bioinformatics; CRISPR_Cas9; Phenotypes; Genotypes; GWAS; zebrafish; Cardiovascular and metabolic disease;

   Abstract : Genome-wide associations studies (GWASs) have identified hundreds of loci that are strongly associated with coronary artery disease and its risk factors. However, the causal variants and genes remain unknown for the vast majority of the identified loci. READ MORE

3. 17. Atherosclerosis - A finite element study of plaque distribution and stability

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Paul Lidgard; [2017]
   Keywords : Atherosclerosis; Plaque; Stability; Finite element; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of arteries. Cardiovascular diseases, of which atherosclerosis is an underlying mechanism, are the most common causes of death globally. The disease is characterised by lipids having penetrated the intima of the artery wall, accompanied by inflammation, fibrosis and endothelial hyperplasia. READ MORE

4. 18. Investigating causative genes for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in a zebrafish model system using CRISPR-Cas9technology

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Shreya Pundir; [2017]
   Keywords : Atherosclerosis; Coronary Artery Disease; zebrafish; CRISPR-Cas9;

   Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death worldwide and atherosclerosis is the major cause of CAD. An unpublished, high-throughput proteomics approach recently identified two of these proteins – Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) and Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP12) that were associated with incident CAD in Uppsala-based samples from the prospective investigation of the vascular in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS) and the Uppsala longitudinal study of adult men studies (ULSAM).

5. 19. Fabrication and characterisation of a 3-layer aorta-on-a-chip

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

   Author : Karolina Svensson; [2017]
   Keywords : Organ-on-a-chip; aorta-on-a-chip; PDMS; COC; microfabrication; APTES;

   Abstract : Endothelial cells, EC, are the cell type closest to the blood stream in vessel walls. These cells can affect the origin of atherosclerosis, plaques clogging the vessels. The behaviour of EC is affected by neighbouring smooth muscle cells and shear stress from the blood flow. READ MORE

6. 20. Nutrition av sällskapspapegojor

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Frida Johnsson; [2016]
   Keywords : papegoja; diet; nutrition; malnutrition; bristsjukdom; pellets; parrot; deficiency disease;

   Abstract : Över hundra olika arter av papegojfåglar hålls som sällskapsdjur. Eftersom det fortfarande finns för få studier av dieten i det vilda för dessa fåglar, är malnutrition ett kliniskt relevant ämne inom veterinärmedicinen. READ MORE
