1. Studies on insulin release from the isolated mouse islet
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Anti-Diabetic and Beta-Cell Protective Actions of Imatinib Mesylate
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes is a disease resulting from the progressive immune-mediated destruction of insulin producing β-cells. In order to understand more about diabetes we need to understand the mechanisms governing β-cell death.The leukemia drug Gleevec is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets c-Abl. LÄS MER
3. Effects of Enterovirus Infection on Innate Immunity and Beta Cell Function in Human Islets of Langerhans
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on enteroviral effects on human pancreatic islets. Most knowledge of viral effects on host cells relies on studies of immortalized cell lines or animal models. The islets represent a fundamentally different and less well studied cellular host. Also, enterovirus has been implicated in the etiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D). LÄS MER
4. Immunopathology of the Pancreas in Type 1 Diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from a loss of functional insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. The etiology of T1D is poorly understood, but the detection of infiltrating inflammatory cells in the pancreas and circulating autoantibodies has led to the common notion that an autoimmune process plays a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
