  1. 1. The clinical importance of anti-endothelial cell antibodies in chronic kidney dysfunction and organ transplantation

    Författare :Nidia Maritza Hernandez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endothelial Cells; Anti-endothelial cell antibodies; Organ Rejection; Tissue Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and is the first site of contact between immune cells and tissues. Therefore, alterations at the level of the endothelium are crucial to understand the nature of vascular diseases and organ damage. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Mechanisms of endothelial cell dysfunction in Wegener's granulomatosis

    Författare :Carolina Holmén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Wegener´s granulomatosis; vasculitis; anti-endothelial cell antibody; circulating endothelial cell; vascular adhesion protein 1; MHC class-I related chain A;

    Sammanfattning : Vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders that share a common feature of blood vessel inflammation. A major cell type of the blood vessel affected is the endothelial cell (EC). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Human cytomegalovirus and dendritic cell interaction : role in immunosupression and autoimmunity

    Författare :Stefania Varani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cytomegalovirus; myeloid dendritic cells; plasmacytoid dendritic cells; immunosuppression; autoimmunity.;

    Sammanfattning : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with an impaired immune system. The virus itself can cause transitory but significant immunosuppression in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised infected individuals. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Endothelial cells : dysfunction and repair mechanisms

    Författare :Elzafir Elsheikh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Endothelial cells; endothelial progenitor cells; Wegener s granulomatosis; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; menstruation cycle; stromal cell-derived factor-1;

    Sammanfattning : Endothelial cells (ECs) are crucial component of the normal vascular wall, providing an interface between the bloodstream and surrounding tissue of the blood vessel wall. Endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs) circulate in the blood and migrate to regions of the circulatory system with injured endothelium and ischemic tissues. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immune mechanisms in vasculopathies

    Författare :Soniya Nityanand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Most of the inflammatory vasculopathies, termed as vasculitides are considered to be mediated at least in part by immunopathogenic mechanisms. With the recent demonstration of immune cells in atherosclerotic plaques, immune mechanisms are considered to play an important role in atherosclerotic vasculopathies too. LÄS MER
