1. S100A9 in inflammation
Sammanfattning : S100A9 is a small (13 kD) cytosolic calcium-binding protein. The protein is mainly expressed in neutrophils and monocytes in human but can also be expressed in other cell types under inflammatory conditions. S100A9 is normally co-expressed with S100A8 and forms S100A8/S100A9 heterodimers. LÄS MER
2. Studies on receptors for modified LDL in human monocytes and macrophages : a link between diabetes and atherosclerosis?
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes increases the risk for cardiovascular disease three- to fourfold. Because of the rise in diabetes prevalence there is a need for a better understanding of the link between diabetes and atherosclerosis. LÄS MER
3. Marine Propulsion System Performance Beyond the Propulsive Factors
Sammanfattning : The marine propulsion system often operates in the wake of the ship it is mounted on. This implies that the propulsion system affects the flow around the hull, and the inflow to the propulsion system is dependent on the hull shape. LÄS MER
4. Influence of maternal allergy on the intra uterine environment and on immune functions of the neonate
Sammanfattning : The prevalence of IgE mediated allergic diseases has drastically increased during the past few decades and there is no satisfactory explanation. A family history of allergic disease is clearly a strong risk factor, bin in view of the rapidity of the increase in allergy prevalence environmental factors are likely to have played a crucial role.

5. Role of TLR4 in Escherichia coli urinary tract infection
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we have used P fimbriated E. coli as a model to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial recognition and cell activation by the urinary tract (UT) epithelium. We show that Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) is crucial for the recognition and host response to P fimbriated E. coli. LÄS MER
