  1. 1. Functional importance of estrogen receptors in the periodontium

    Författare :Daniel Nebel; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Estrogen; Estrogen receptors; LPS; Periodontium; PDL cells; Gingival epithelial cells;

    Sammanfattning : Östrogen är ett kvinnligt könshormon som även har andra effekter. Östrogen verkar i cellkärnan genom att binda till en östrogenreceptor (ER), som finns i två olika typer, ERα och ERβ. Parodontit (tandlossning) är en inflammationssjukdom som drabbar tandens fäste som svar på bakterier som normalt finns i munhålan. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Prostaglandin E synthases in periodontitis-affected gingival tissue and in gingival fibroblasts

    Författare :Tove Båge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :c-Jun N-terminal kinase;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in the destruction of the tissue and alveolar bone supporting the teeth and leading ultimately to tooth loss. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Human intraepithelial lymphocytes : a comparative study of phenotype, morphology, and functional properties of intraepithelial lymphocytes in gut and oral mucosa

    Författare :Carina Lundqvist; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Sten Hammarström; Per Brandtzaeg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human intraepithelial lymphocytes; alimentary tract; intestinal epithelium; gut luminal antigens; gingiva; γδ T cells; immunoelectron microscopy; cytokine mRNA; RT-PCR; extrathymic T cell maturation; RAG-1; periodontitis; mucosal immune system; CD4-CD8- αβ T cells; CD8 γδ T cells;

    Sammanfattning : Human intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) constitute a unique cell population situated in the first line of defense of the alimentary tract. Here they are continuously exposed to a massive antigenic load of high complexity. However, different conditions prevail along the alimentary tract. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies on clinical expression, genotype, and gingival crevicular fluid characteristics in young patients with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome

    Författare :Christer Ullbro; Anders Gustafsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :odontologi; Odontology;

    Sammanfattning : Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive condition with palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and aggressive periodontitis as cardinal features. The disorder is linked to mutations of the gene for cathepsin C, a lysosomal protease essential in activation of serine proteases in immune and inflammatory cells. LÄS MER

  7. 5. A study of the cell adhesions molecules, E-cadherin and C-CAM, and the intermediate filaments, nestin, in craniofacial and tooth development

    Författare :Catharina Terling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cell adhesion molecules; epithelial fusion; C-CAM; E-cadherin; junctional epithelium; nestin; odontogenesis; palate;

    Sammanfattning : Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are involved in cell migration, morphogenesis, and cell differentiation within the embryo, and later in the maintenance of the multicellular organism. The aim of the present investigation was to analyze and compare the distribution of the CAMs, E-cadherin and C-CAM, during odontogenesis and palate formation, and furthermore, to analyze the expression of the intermediate filament (IF), nestin, in odontogenesis.
