  1. 16. T cell production of cytokines, neurotrophins and MHC regulation in autoimmune neuroinflammation

    Författare :Saad Muhallab; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common disabling disease of the central nervous system (CNS). A role for the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in disease susceptibility is established but not completely understood. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Changes in human uterine innervation in term pregnancy and labor occurence and roles of neurotrophins and TRPV1

    Författare :Berith Karlsson Tingåker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Uterus; corpus uteri; cervix uteri; pregnancy; labor pain; neurotrophins; NGF; TRPV1; sensory corpuscles; human.;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: Cervical ripening, is a prerequisite for successful labor, which is often very painful and involves an inflammatory reaction. However, little is presently known con-cerning nerve-related changes in the human uterus during labor and the fundamental hy-pothesis tested here was that labor pain emanates primarily from the cervix uteri.

  4. 18. Neurotrophins and nitric oxide in relation to airway responses in experimental asthma in vivo

    Författare :Lydia Bennedich Kahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Asthma is an inflammatory disease of allergic or non-allergic genesis characterized by intermittent reversible airway obstruction and variable degrees of persistent airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Increase in AHR likely arises from augmented airway inflammation, such as associated with a late airway response. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Heavy metal neurotoxicity : on trimethyltin-, methylmercury- and cadmium-induced disturbances of neurotransmitter systems and neurotrophins

    Författare :Helena Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :neurotoxicity; trimethyltin; methylmercury; cadmium; development; GFAP; GABA; noradrenalin; BDNF; c-fos; hsp70; glial glutamate transporter;

    Sammanfattning : Organic and inorganic metal compounds produced by human activities often reach the environment where they are associated with a plethora of potential health hazards. Of particular concern is the risk for CNS disturbances during development or in the adult. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Neurotrophic and immune regulatory factors in neuroinflammation

    Författare :Alexander W Gielen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Neurotrophins; EAE; MS; TIM; Neuroprotection;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammatory reactions in the nervous system act as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, neuroinflammation can have very devastating effects on the nervous system, leading to neurological dysfunction. LÄS MER
