16. Genetic Studies of Rheumatoid Arthritis using Animal Models
Sammanfattning : Predisposition to autoimmune diseases such as, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis, is caused by the effect of multiple genes and a strong influence from the environment. In this study, I have investigated genetic factors that confer susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis in a rat model. LÄS MER
17. Oral lichen planus : studies of factors involved in differentiation, epithelial mesenchymal transition and inflammation
Sammanfattning : Background: Lichen planus is a chronic inflammation of skin and mucosa with unknown cause. Oral Lichen Planus, OLP, affects around 2% of the population. Autoimmunity has been suggested as a possible cause as the disease has autoimmune features such as female predominance, cyclic nature and cytotoxic T-cell infiltrate. LÄS MER
18. Genetic regulation of autoimmune neuroinflammation
Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease characterized by inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS), causing neurological deficits. Although there is an increased familial aggregation rate and evidence for a genetic influence on disease susceptibility, environmental factors are also of importance. LÄS MER
19. Strategies for Identification of Susceptibility Genes in Complex Autoimmune Diseases
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are complex autoimmune diseases affecting 0.05-2% of the population worldwide. Genetic studies detected linkage with SLE in the 2q37 region, and intensive family-based and case-control association studies in several populations identified that allele A of the SNP PD-1. LÄS MER
20. Metabolic variation in autoimmune diseases
Sammanfattning : The human being and other animals contain immensely complex biochemical processes that govern their function on a cellular level. It is estimated that several thousand small molecules (metabolites) are produced by various biochemical pathways in humans. LÄS MER
