16. Cerebrospinal fluid studies of bipolar disorder
Sammanfattning : The pathophysiology of bipolar disorder remains to be elucidated. One approach to studying brain processes is analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). LÄS MER
17. Receptor Interactions Between Pathogenic Bacteria and Host Cells
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on host and pathogen specific interactions during invasive disease. We have investigated the role and impact of different virulence factors of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis and Streptococcus pyogenes on host epithelial cells and in vivo. N. LÄS MER
18. Regulation of bacterial adaptive behavior by the second messenger cyclic-di-GMP and host components
Sammanfattning : To optimize survival and growth, bacteria have evolved adaptive behaviors that respond to relevant environmental signals. A switch from the motile to the sessile lifestyle is probably the most ancient behavioral transition of microorganisms. LÄS MER
19. Serine protease inhibitors in the upper and lower airways
Sammanfattning : Proteases and their inhibitors are implicated in the physiology and pathology of the airways. Protease inhibitors include those produced locally, such as secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), and those produced mainly by the liver that can reach the airways via passive diffusion, such as alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT).

20. Storage organelles that are distinct from the classical granules in human neutrophils
Sammanfattning : The human neutrophil is a crucial participant in acute inflammation. Appropriate immune response is dependent on rapid direction of phagocytic cells through the tissue, towards the inflammatory focus. Such movement is governed by chemoattractants, e.g. LÄS MER
