      TLR8 is an endosomal sensor of RNA degradation products in human phagocytes, and is involved in the recognition of viral and bacterial pathogens. We previously showed that in human primary monocytes and monocyte derived ...

    • Hypoxia promotes IL-32 expression in myeloma cells, and high expression is associated with poor survival and bone loss

      Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic cancer characterized by expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. Most patients develop an osteolytic bone disease, largely caused by increased osteoclastogenesis. The ...

    • IL-32 and multiple myeloma bone disease 

      Aass, Kristin Roseth (Master thesis, 2016)
      Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells characterized by multiple tumors in the bone marrow and progressive osteolytic bone disease. The bone lesions are caused by increased bone resorption by osteoclasts and ...
