1. Tertiary lymphoid structures in glioblastoma : Discovery, Characterization and Therapeutic Induction
Sammanfattning : Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable brain cancer with a median survival of less than two years from diagnosis. The tumor microenvironment plays a major role in GBM progression through sustaining immunosuppression and poor lymphocytic infiltration. LÄS MER
2. Specific and nonspecific immune mechanisms in human gut : a comparative study of normal and ulcerative colitis intestine
Sammanfattning : The intestine, with its large mucosal surface area, digests and absorbs food nutrients and maintains a beneficial microbial flora in the colon. Local protective immune responses against intestinal pathogens ensure the survival of the individual. These immune reactions are both specific and non-specific in nature. LÄS MER
3. Immune cells in pregnant uterine mucosa : functional properties, cellular composition and tissue organization
Sammanfattning : The pregnant uterus mucosa - decidua - is an "immunologically privileged" site. A semiallogeneic embryo is allowed to survive, develop, and grow while the same tissue implanted outside the uterus will be rejected. The decidua basalis, which participates in the placenta formation, is a tissue rich in lymphoid cells. LÄS MER
4. Human intestinal T lymphocytes : a comparative analysis of phenotype and function in normal and inflamed mucosa
Sammanfattning : The epithelial lining of the gut must allow immediate contact with beneficial components as nutrients and normal microflora. At the same time it runs the constant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes and noxious agents. LÄS MER
5. New Aspects of Alveolar Adaptive Immune Responses in COPD
Sammanfattning : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by a chronic inflammation in conducting airways and the alveolar parenchyma. The inflammation, which is a consequence of inhalation of noxious gases like tobacco smoke, has traditionally been thought to be driven by innate immune responses. LÄS MER
