N.; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      We recently showed that interleukin (IL)-6 inhibition by tocilizumab improves myocardial salvage in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the mechanisms for this effect are not clear. Methods In this ...
    • NEIL3-deficiency increases gut permeability and contributes to a pro-atherogenic metabolic phenotype 

      Karlsen, Tom Rune; Kong, Xiang Yi; Holm, Sverre; Quiles-Jiménez, Ana M T; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter; Yang, Kuan; Sagen, Ellen Lund; Skarpengland, Tonje; Øgaard, Jonas; Holm, Kristian; Vestad, Beate; Olsen, Maria Belland; Aukrust, Pål; Bjørås, Magnar; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Halvorsen, Bente; Gregersen, Ida (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Atherosclerosis and its consequences cause considerable morbidity and mortality world-wide. We have previously shown that expression of the DNA glycosylase NEIL3 is regulated in human atherosclerotic plaques, and that ...
    • NEIL3-deficient bone marrow displays decreased hematopoietic capacity and reduced telomere length 

      Karlsen, Tom Rune; Olsen, Maria Belland; Kong, Xiang Yi; Yang, Kuan; Quiles-Jiménez, Ana M T; Kroustallaki, Pinelopi; Holm, Sverre; Lines, Glenn Terje; Aukrust, Pål; Skarpengland, Tonje; Bjørås, Magnar; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter; Nilsen, Hilde; Gregersen, Ida; Halvorsen, Bente (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Deficiency of NEIL3, a DNA repair enzyme, has significant impact on mouse physiology, including vascular biology and gut health, processes related to aging. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is suggested as a marker of ...
