1. 6. Influence of leukotriene D4 and cyclooxygenase-2 on cell survival

   Författare :Katarina Wikström; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; General pathology; colorectal cancer; inflammation; apoptosis; LTD4; COX-2; patologisk anatomi;

   Sammanfattning : The pro-inflammatory effect of leukotrienes is an important element in the pathogenesis of multiple disorders, including asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). A serious concern for IBD patients is the increased risk of developing colorectal cancer and since there seems to be a general connection between inflammation and cancer we hypothesised that LTD4 induced signalling events could be involved in increasing the tumourgenic potential of cells.

3. 7. Regulation of lymphocyte activation and apoptosis in the immune response in multiple sclerosis

   Författare :Andreia Ferreira de Castro Gomes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS) white matter. The patients usually develop the first symptoms between 20 and 40 years of age, translating into a huge social and economical impact in the western countries, where NIS has a high prevalence.

4. 8. Cisplatin-resistance and cell death in malignant pleural mesothelioma cells

   Författare :Veronica Janson; Kjell Grankvist; Roger Henriksson; Parviz Behnam-Motlagh; Anders Johansson; Boris Zhivotovsky; Umeå universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, treatment-resistant tumour. Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II)) is the best single-agent chemotherapy for MPM, but platinum-based combination therapies give the best overall response rates. However, cisplatin use is limited by resistance and severe side effects. LÄS MER

5. 9. 5-Fluorouracil mediated cell death signaling
 in colon carcinoma cells

   Författare :Birce Akpinar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common form of cancer in the world. 5- Fluorouracil (5-FU) belongs to the fluoropyrimidine-type of drugs and is commonly used in the treatment of several solid tumors. It has become the mainstay of CRC treatment at stage III and high risk stage II, either alone or in combination with other drugs. LÄS MER

7. 10. Effects of antiresorptive agents on inflammation and bone regeneration in different osseous sites - experimental and clinical studies

   Sammanfattning : The biological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone and the effect of antiresorptive drugs in relation to surgically inserted biomaterials are not fully understood. Improved osseointegration of titanium implants but also adverse effects of antiresorptive therapies, such as osteonecrotic jaw have been described in the literature. LÄS MER
