16. Not just a pipe's dream : plumbing the contribution of cell diversity to oesophageal homeostasis
Sammanfattning : Epithelial barrier tissues like the skin, intestine, and oesophagus form a physical barrier that protects our body from external threats. To accurately fulfil their function, epithelial barriers are subject to constant epithelial cell renewal throughout our lifespan. LÄS MER
17. Vitamin A regulated neuronal regeneration and homeostasis
Sammanfattning : The olfactory epithelium is a dynamic tissue maintained by continuous neurogenesis throughout life. Upon injury, neurons and other olfactory cell types are regenerated through proliferation of horizontal stem cells. Some genes that regulate vitamin A metabolism are spatially expressed in the olfactory epithelium. LÄS MER
18. Intracellular signaling in the lung : a role for C/EBP transcription factors in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, glucocorticoid signaling and lung development
Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, a previously unknown role has been established for members of the C/EBP transcription factor family in lung gene expression. In other organs, C/EBPs are well known regulators of cell differentiation and linked processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression as well as central regulators of inflammatory responses and infectious defenses.

19. The role of angiopoietin-like 4 in inflammation
Sammanfattning : Inflammation is a homeostatically fundamental feature of the host defence surveillance system made up of an army of sentinel cells that guard against foreign intrusion. At the onslaught of an attack, primary immune responders (macrophages and neutrophils) secrete a plethora of cytokines and chemokines that attract secondary responders (T and B cells) to the site of inflammation, to eliminate the intrusion and encourage tissue healing.

20. Oxidoreductases and RNA degradosome controlling virulence-associated traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
Sammanfattning : The oxidative stress response is a fundamental and primitive mode of innate immune defense in nearly all forms of life. The host oxidative stress response becomes truly important and effective especially against intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella. Pathogens have evolved diverse mechanisms to withstand the oxidative responses. LÄS MER
