  1. 1. Studies of Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Islet Transplantation

    Författare :Maria Hårdstedt; Olle Korsgren; Bo Nilsson; Thierry Berney; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes; islet transplantation; islets of Langerhans; xenotransplantation; nonhuman primate; blood; whole blood model; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; IBMIR; chemokines;

    Sammanfattning : Clinical islet transplantation is today an established alternative treatment for a selected group of type 1 diabetes patients. The predominant technique for transplantation is infusion of islets in the liver via the portal vein. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Uterus transplantation: An experimental study in primates

    Författare :Liza Johannesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; infertility; transplantation; nonhuman primates; uterus; human; immunosuppression;

    Sammanfattning : Most causes of infertility are nowadays treatable, but for women that are infertile due to lack of, or severe malfunction of the uterus, there is as of today no available cure. Uterus transplantation (UTx) may provide a future possibility for treatment of these females with uterine factor infertility (UFI). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pet imaging of two monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems in brain : studies of the norepinephrine transporter and dopamine D[2] receptor

    Författare :Nicholas Seneca; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Positron emission tomography (PET) has been widely used to study non-invasively function of the brain, pathophysiology of disease and aid in the development of new drugs. PET and selective radiolabeled molecules allow imaging of certain critical components of neurotransmission, such as pre-synaptic transporters and post-synaptic receptors in living brain. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pictorial Primates: A Search for Iconic Abilities in Great Apes

    Författare :Tomas Persson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; match-to-sample; comparative cognition; categorization; Pan paniscus; Gorilla gorilla; signs; reference; iconicity; symbols; pictures; primatology; object-choice-task; enculturation;

    Sammanfattning : Pictures and other iconic media are used extensively in psychological experiments on nonhuman primate perception, categorisation, etc. They are also used in everyday interaction with primates, and as pure entertainment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Understanding Complex Diseases and Disease Causative Agents : The Machine Learning way

    Författare :Zeeshan Khaliq; Jan Komorowski; Steven Bosinger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pathogens; Influenza A viruses; Human immunodeficiency virus; Simian immunodeficiency virus; Pathogenicity; Cancer; long noncoding RNAs; Machine learning; Host specificity; Host-specific signatures; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Sammanfattning : Diseases can be caused by foreign agents – pathogens – such as viruses, bacteria and other parasites, entering the body or by an internal malfunction of the body itself. The partial understanding of diseases like cancer and the ones caused by viruses, like the influenza A viruses (IAVs) and the human immunodeficiency virus, means we still do not have an efficient cure or defence against them.
