NOX, ROS and metabolism in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Project
DHEAR
Translational Medicine
2016-2021
The scientific work that will be performed in this project is to explore new pathways of cancer treatment with particular focus on pancreatic cancer. These new ways of treatment are based on changing the functions of different signaling and metabolic pathways such as NADPH oxidase (NOX), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and metabolism which are known to be up-regulated or malfunctioning in cancer cells. By using different chemicals such as NOX inhibitors, digitoxin and ketone bodies inhibit their activity and thereby decrease the cell viability of the cancer cells. Focusing treatment on the differences between normal / cancer cells would help develop methods that inhibit cancer cells with less negative effects on normal cells.

DHEAR
Wellbeing in Long-term Health Problems
2019-2024
The elderly are becoming a bigger share of the population and more older people still have their own teeth. Elderly people who need municipal care are also on the rise and this places demands on nursing staff to have the skills needed to assess and care for the oral health of the elderly. Performing oral care is not an easy task, as it can be perceived as an invasion of privacy. Neglected oral health can also lead to poorer overall health. It is possible to prevent poor oral health with small means such as daily oral care.
Reflective STRENGTH Project
DHEAR

2017-2024
A project aimed to support older adults with long term health problems.
The challenge in health- and social care of today is to provide care with a holistic ap-proach to meet each individual´s needs. Health care providers tend to spend more time focusing on the health problem per see, rather than focusing on the individual´s situa-tion as a whole. Less attention is often given to psychological and social needs and dialogue with the older adult. Research has shown that many older adults experience loneliness, exclusion and lack of support, especially during times of illness.

Affective touch and its effects on the oxytocin system Project
DHEAR – for a healthier and more sustainable soci
Translational Medicine TRIM
2015-2020
Human hairy skin contains a special type of nerve fibers, so-called CT-fibers that respond to slow stroking across the skin, such as a caress.
Oxytocin, a hypothalamic nonapeptide, is released e.g. through light touch, caresses, warm temperature etc. Oxytocin release can be linked to well-being, stress reduction and other health-promoting effects. These anti-stress effects are particularly strong when oxytocin is released in response to low-intensity stimulation of the skin.
In this project, we want to study the relationship between activation of CT-fibers and release/activation of the oxytocin system in response to light touch. Some genetic variations that have previously been linked to touch responses will also be studied.

Genes as targets for cancer treatment Project
DHEAR – for a healthier and more sustainable soci
Translational Medicine TRIM
2015-2021
We investigate genes that cause cancer aggressiveness. We specifically focus on the childhood cancer tumor neuroblastoma, which occurs in the nervous system of young children. Some tumors are more aggressive than others, and the difference is what has happened to the genes in the tumor. If the tumor has lost some of the genes on chromosome 11, the child has a poor prognosis. We test the properties of genes that have been lost, to see if those specific lost properties are something that will benefit the tumor cell. We want to replace those properties through different types of treatments, and in this way kill the tumor cell. We analyze clinical/genetic data and make experiments in cultured cells and in fruit flies.

Advancing the Metabolic theory of Ecology Project
Systems Biology
Ecological modelling
2019-2023
Ecology as a science has lacked a general scientific theory capable of making predictions on ecological phenomena on various levels, but now a candidate for such a theory exists. This is termed the Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) and states that energy use (metabolism) is a central process for all organisms that partly can be predicted from body size and then used to make predictions on ecological processes at the population and community level. However, there is some scepticism towards MTE as a general theory and so far the empirical support for it is mixed. In this project, different predictions of MTE will be studied to test the theory and see if and how it may need to be modified.
