  1. 16. Candidate gene analyses and genome-wide screens in multiple sclerosis

    Författare :Vilmantas Giedraitis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Specific disease causing mutations have been identified for many disorders. Most of these disorders are of Mendelian origin and there have been very few successful attempts in the genetic dissection of complex traits. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Preterm and term cervical ripening : studies on CRH, HMGB1, toll-like receptors, cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases

    Författare :Aurelija Dubicke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cervical fibroblasts; cervical ripening; cervix; chemokines; cytokines; CRH; HMGB1; interleukin; labor; preterm; preterm labor; matrix metalloproteinases; pregnancy; PPROM; Tolllike receptors;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Despite the existing treatment, the frequency of PTB has not changed in the past thirty years. Incomplete understanding of the biological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying preterm delivery is the major obstacle to preventing PTB. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Nitric Oxide Regulation during Anti-tumor Immunotherapy

    Författare :Wiaam Badn; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serology; Immunology; Medicin människa och djur ; immunotherapy; Medicine human and vertebrates ; immunosuppression; PGE2; Nitric oxide; serologi;

    Sammanfattning : During tumor progression a strong immunosuppression is developed and is believed to be the major reason why immunotherapy fails. This suppression is induced in response to factors produced from tumor cells, but can also be induced after immunotherapy. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Regulation of B cell responses to modified self

    Författare :Emilie Grasset; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The immune system needs to be efficient to protect organisms from invading pathogens. Lymphoid organs such as the spleen and lymph nodes are needed to initiate the response. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Genetic Variations in the NLRP3 Inflammasome : Susceptibility Factor for Chronic Inflammation

    Författare :Deepti Verma; Peter Söderkvist; Särndahl Särndahl; Hal Hoffman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : NLRP3 has been recognized as one of the key components of innate immunity. Upon activation, NLRP3 forms a multiprotein complex called as the ‘inflammasome’ which leads to the activation of pro-inflammatory caspase-1 which subsequently results in the formation of Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18.
