1. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by exaggerated host immune responses to dysregulated microbiota in dental biofilms leading to degradation of tissues and alveolar bone loss. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major periodontal pathogen and expresses several potent virulence factors. LÄS MER
2. Insights into the processes preceding the onset of rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by the production of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) in the majority of all patients and a persistent inflammation in the synovial tissue leading to joint destruction. The aetiology of RA remains to a large extent unknown but is believed to be a complex interplay between genetic, environmental and stochastic factors. LÄS MER
3. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease causing inflammation and destruction of tooth-supporting structures eventually leading to tooth loss. Periodontitis is induced by different subgingival microorganisms in combination with an excessive and dysregulated immune-inflammatory response against this microbial challenge. LÄS MER
4. Investigations of Porphyromonas gingivalis as a possible trigger of autoimmunity in the development of rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a severe autoimmune disease affecting 0.5-1% worldwide. Patients suffer from pain, disability, chronic joint inflammation, comorbidities and increased mortality. Although, the aetiology of RA is largely unknown, both genes and environment have been shown to contribute. LÄS MER
5. On the origin of ACPA : exploring the role of P. gingivalis in the development of rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovial inflammation, joint destruction, and the presence of anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) in a majority of patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that ACPA play an important role in RA pathogenesis. LÄS MER
