1. Apoptotic neutrophils enhance the immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Sammanfattning : Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis, a disease that for years was considered to belong of the past, but tuberculosis is back causing over 2 million deaths per year. The infection can be dormant for decades and an active immune response can prevent the infection from progressing into active disease. LÄS MER
2. Holistic evaluation and testing of coil coatings
Sammanfattning : Coil coatings are durable organic coatings used to protect metal sheets from corrosion and improve their aesthetic properties. Because of their extensive use, coil coatings have long been of interest for industrial and academic researchers. LÄS MER
3. Assessment of predicting blood flow and atherosclerosis in the aorta and renal arteries
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of death in large parts of the world. Atherosclerosis (AS) has a major part in most CVDs. AS is a slowly developingdisease which is dependent on multiple factors such as genetics and life style (food, smoking, and physical activities). LÄS MER
4. Inflammasome polymorphisms and the Inflammatory Response to Bacterial Infections
Sammanfattning : NLRP3 inflammasome; a key component of the innate immune system, can be activated by a number of pathogens and other threats of the body. Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome triggers caspase-1 mediated maturationof IL-1β and IL-18. LÄS MER
5. Cobalt in the hard metal production industry : exposure via inhalation and skin and the inflammatory response in human keratinocytes
Sammanfattning : Cobalt is a strong sensitizer and can cause contact allergy upon both direct contact or from airborne exposure on the skin. In the skin, keratinocytes are the first cells to come in contact with the metal and will react and respond to the danger by triggering an alarm system resulting in an inflammatory response in the skin.
