21. On dysregulated inflammation and airway host defense
Sammanfattning : Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by dysregulated inflammation of the airways. The increased influx of immune cells and the accumulation of cytokines lead to cell death, tissue destruction and impaired pulmonary function. LÄS MER
22. Immunopsychiatry from a transdiagnostic perspective : the immunometabolic interplay
Sammanfattning : Background/Objective: Psychiatric disorders are common and they significantly impact quality of life. It has been proposed that inflammatory processescontribute to the emergence of psychiatric disorders. In addition to inflammation, disturbances in metabolic pathways have been seen in individuals with various psychiatric disorders. LÄS MER
23. Functional aspects of prothrombin in bone
Sammanfattning : Prothrombin (PT) is the inactive zymogen to the serine protease alpha-thrombin which in the coagulation cascade is responsible for clot formation through converting fibrinogen to fibrin. PT has been shown to be present in calcified bone matrix, and alpha-thrombin has been implicated in various bone resorbing disorders of inflammatory origin, such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis.

24. Isolation and characterization of lipid-associated and neurosecretory polypeptides
Sammanfattning : Lipid-interacting proteins play important roles in all living organisms. This thesis focuses on isolation and characterization of an enzyme in the triacylglycerol biosynthesis (phosphatidic acid phosphatase, PAP), hydrophobic polypeptides in bile, and polypeptides in cerebrospinal fluid.

25. Aseptic Loosening of Orthopedic Implants : Osteoclastogenesis Regulation and Potential Therapeutics
Sammanfattning : Aseptic loosening is the main cause of failure of orthopedic prostheses. With no pharmaceuticals to prevent or mitigate periprosthetic bone degradation, a surgery to replace the loose implant with a new one is the only choice to restore patients’ function. LÄS MER
