  1. 16. Studies of bioactive lipids in cancer

    Författare :Vicky Chatzakos; Petra De Verdier; Jenny Flygare; Åke Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lipids; Sphingolipids; N-acyl amino acids; cancer; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Lipids are a broad class of molecules that, besides being a major form of energy storage and components of cell membranes, act as bioactive signalling molecules. N-acyl taurines are structurally related to endocannabinoids that are known to exert antiproliferative actions in a variety of cancer cells. LÄS MER

  3. 17. On the role of nitric oxide in lower urinary tract disease

    Författare :Lotta Renström Koskela; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological molecule with a variety of functions. Among other, it is a signalling molecule capable of inducing smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilatation, it regulates proliferation, can induce apoptosis and act as an effector molecule in host defence reactions and in immune regulatory processes.

  4. 18. Immunogenicity of anti-leishmaniasis vaccines in man

    Författare :Iman Nasr Eldin Satti; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Leishmania; cellular immunity; cytokines; Leishmanin skin test.;

    Sammanfattning : Leishmaniasis represents a serious health problem in Sudan. There is no adequate control measure available against the disease in the country. Vaccination remains the optimal potential control measure. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Tuberculosis - Clinical Value of Initial Host Molecular Signalling and Molecular Fingerprinting

    Författare :Nader Alaridah; Malmö Medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is principally a pulmonary pathogen infecting one-third of the world's population and causing two million deaths annually. The only approved tuberculosis vaccine today is the Mycobacterium bovis bacilli Calmette-Guérin (BCG). LÄS MER

  7. 20. Impact of intestinal worms on distal immune response and control of co-infections

    Författare :Xiaogang Feng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Parasitic worm infections have been suggested to impair control of secondary infections and vaccine efficacy. However, the experimental data regarding the capacity of intestinal nematodes to modulate host immune responses was lacking and the mechanism underlying dampened immune responses, particularly those distal to the gut, incompletely understood.
