21. An experimental study on the interaction between the neuro-endocrine and immune systems in the gastrointestinal tract
Sammanfattning : The mucosa lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is in immediate contact with food nutrients to allow a rapid and efficient digestion and absorption and at the same time protects against the incessant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes. Maintenance of normal physiological activities in the GI tract is dependent on a number of regulatory interactions between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as environmental and genetic factors.

22. The dynamic microfilament system : cellular organization of actin and profilin and their association with cell signalling
Sammanfattning : Active shape changes and movement of whole cells, and translocations within cells are essential to life. For instance, during embryogenesis cell migration is a central theme. Wound healing depends on increased and directed motile activity of several cell types. LÄS MER
23. Preclinical tumor-immune modeling : For the identification of immunomodulatory drugs
Sammanfattning : For a long time, the field of cancer research was dominated by a tumor cell-centric view. That, however, changed once it became recognized that medical cancer treatment is largely influenced by the combined effect exerted on both cancer and immune cells. LÄS MER
24. Mesenchymal stromal cell crosstalk with the immune system
Sammanfattning : Cell therapy is a promising treatment for several diseases. One of the most commonly used cell types are mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). MSCs are found in most connective tissues but for clinical use they are commonly harvested from bone marrow, adipose tissue and umbilical cord. LÄS MER
25. Interactions between nutrition, obesity and the immune system
Sammanfattning : There are several links between body fat and the immune system. For example, mice lacking activity of the pro-inflammatory interleukin-(IL)-1 and IL-6 develop obesity. Conversely, obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation and increased risk of infection. LÄS MER
