Development and validation of a new non-disease-specific survey tool to assess self-reported adherence to medication
(Frontiers in Pharmacology;Volume 13 - 2022, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Patients’ non-adherence to medication affects both patients themselves and healthcare systems. Consequences include higher mortality, worsening of disease, patient injuries, and increased healthcare costs. Many ... -
Diagnostic accuracy and added value of infection biomarkers in patients with possible sepsis in the emergency department
(Shock;Vol. 58, No. 4, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Biomarkers for early recognition of infection are warranted. The hypothesis of this study was that calprotectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6 and procalcitonin (PCT), alone or in combination, provide clinically ... -
Dietary Immunostimulant CpG Modulates MicroRNA Biomarkers Associated with Immune Responses in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
(Cells;Volume 8, Issue 12, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-05)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators in fish immune responses. However, no study has previously characterized the impact of polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (pIC) and formalin-killed typical Aeromonas salmonicida ... -
Differential Expression of miRNAs and Their Predicted Target Genes Indicates That Gene Expression in Atlantic Salmon Gill Is Post-Transcriptionally Regulated by miRNAs in the Parr-Smolt Transformation and Adaptation to Sea Water
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences;Volume 23 / Issue 15, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-08)Smoltification (parr-smolt transformation) is a complex developmental process consisting of developmental changes that lead to remodeling of the Atlantic salmon gill. Here, the expression changes of miRNAs and mRNAs were ... -

The Discovery and Characterization of Conserved and Novel miRNAs in the Different Developmental Stages and Organs of Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional gene expression regulators. Genes regulated in vertebrates include those affecting growth and development or stress and immune response. ... -
Discovery and characterization of miRNA genes in atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by use of a deep sequencing approach
(BMC genomics;14 (1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-07-12)Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of endogenous small RNA molecules that downregulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. They play important roles in multiple biological processes by ... -
Discovery of microRNAs associated with the antiviral immune response of Atlantic cod macrophages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play important immunoregulatory roles in teleosts, although miRNAs involved in the antiviral immune response of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) were previously uncharacterised. Using deep ... -
