  1. 1. Mesenchymal stromal cell crosstalk with the immune system

    Författare :Caroline Gavin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cell therapy is a promising treatment for several diseases. One of the most commonly used cell types are mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). MSCs are found in most connective tissues but for clinical use they are commonly harvested from bone marrow, adipose tissue and umbilical cord. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Dental acrylates and methacrylates - Interactions with the immune system

    Författare :Sara Alizadehgharib; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acrylates; Methacrylates; Antibodies; NLRP3 inflammasome; Cytokines; Mice; Hydrogen sulfide;

    Sammanfattning : Professionals working in dentistry have reported adverse effects, such as allergic contact dermatitis due to exposure to different methacrylates/acrylates. Leakage of such monomers from dental fillings due to incomplete curing is also common. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Interactions between Streptococcus pyogenes and the Human Immune System

    Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pyogenes is a common human pathogen causing mild infections such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis, but is also the cause of life-threatening conditions. To be able to infect the human host, S. pyogenes express different virulence factors. The surface-expressed M protein is a major virulence factor of S. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Sculpted through Time : Evolution and Function of Serine Proteases from the Mast Cell Chymase Locus

    Författare :Maike Gallwitz; Lars Hellman; Lars Pilström; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; immune system; mast cell; chymase locus; serine protease; evolution; gene duplication; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Immune cells like NK cells, T cells, neutrophils and mast cells store high amounts of granule serine proteases, graspases. Graspases are encoded from the mast cell chymase locus. The human locus holds four genes: α-chymase, cathepsin G, and granzymes H and B. In contrast, the mouse locus contains at least 14 genes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Prognostic role of the tumour microenvironment in esophago-gastric, pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma: B cells and beyond

    Författare :Richard Fristedt; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Nyckelord :Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor; B cells; Plasma cells; Esophageal adenocarcinoma; gastric adenocarcinoma; Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; Periampullary adenocarcinoma; Prognosis and survival; Immune system;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer development depends on cells aquiring a skillset of limitless growth and finally invasive properties to allow for metastasis, as summarised by the six hallmarks of cancer. Recently four more hallmarks have been added: genomic instability, deregulating cellular metabolism, tumour-promoting inflammation and avoiding immune destruction. LÄS MER
