1. Cervical screening with primary HPV : from research to clinical effectiveness
Sammanfattning : Organized cervical screening has greatly reduced the incidence of cervical cancer where implemented. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the cause of cervical cancer, and in later years, convincing evidence has led to cervical screening with HPV as the primary method being implemented around the world.

2. Blocking interleukin-1 signalling in the brain-structural and functional outcomes
Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to evaluate the consequences of blocking interleukin (IL)-1 signalling in the brain. The studies used a transgenic mouse model with brain-directed overexpression of the human soluble isoform of IL-1 receptor antagonist with the GFAP promoter (Tg hsIL-1ra). LÄS MER
3. Cytokines in the nervous system with emphasis on interleukin-1 receptor-mediated activity
Sammanfattning : Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is one of the most important pro-inflammatory cytokines and plays a pivotal role in the neuroinflammation associated with certain forms of neurodegeneration, such as epilepsy, cerebral ischemia, trauma, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Also, it was suggested that IL-1 is involved in physiological processes, namely modulation of sleep, glucose and lipid metabolism, and neuroendocrine regulation, as well as modulation of learning and memory.
