  1. 1. Should I stay or should I go – Factors associated with hospitalization risk among older persons in Sweden

    Författare :Jenny Hallgren; Anna K. Dahl Aslan; Eleonor Fransson; Marie Elf; Jönköping University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Older persons; hospitalization; risk factors; cognitive decline; qualitative content analyses; longitudinal; Cox regression; latent growth curve modelling;

    Sammanfattning : An increasingly older population will most likely lead to greater demands on the health care system, as older age is associated with an increased risk of having acute and chronic conditions. The number of diseases or disabilities is not the only marker of the amount of health care utilized, as persons may seek hospitalization without a disease and/or illness that requires hospital healthcare.

  3. 2. Mast cells and their progenitors in respiratory diseases : Understanding their connection to lung function and airway inflammation

    Författare :P. Abigail Alvarado-Vazquez; Jenny Hallgren; Arne Egesten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mast cells; mast cell progenitors; pulmonary function test; allergic airway inflammation; experimental asthma model; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells are rare immune cells involved in allergic diseases, including asthma. These cells are derived from mast cell progenitors (MCps) that migrate to the peripheral tissues via the blood in response to allergic or non-allergic stimuli. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Search for the Masked Mechanism Behind IgG-Mediated Suppression of Antibody Responses

    Författare :Joakim Bergström; Birgitta Heyman; Jenny Hallgren Martinsson; Frida Henningsson Johnson; Mats Bemark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; FcγR; complement; sheep erythrocytes; IgG-mediated immune suppression; rhesus prophylaxis; rhesus D antigen; germinal center; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Antibodies passively administered together with their specific antigen can enhance or suppress the specific antibody response. This phenomenon is known as antibody feedback regulation. Whether this modulation causes up- or downregulation of the antibody response depends both on the antibody isotype and the antigen used.

  5. 4. Mast Cell Progenitor Trafficking in Allergic Airway Inflammation

    Författare :Joakim Dahlin; Jenny Hallgren; Hans-Reimer Rodewald; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cells; mast cell progenitors; allergy; asthma; allergic airway inflammation; IgE; lung; CD11c;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cell progenitors originate from the bone marrow and migrate to the lungs via the blood. During maturation, these cells acquire granules that contain a potent array of bronchoconstrictive mediators. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Harnessing the immunoregulatory capacity of single-stranded oligonucleotides to modulate innate immunity

    Författare :Aleksandra Dondalska; Anna-Lena Spetz; Jenny Hallgren Martinsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-stranded oligonucleotides; Toll-like receptors; influenza; respiratory syncytial virus; dendritic cell; mast cell; virus infection; inflammation; itch; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : As the first line of defense, the innate immune system is exceptionally efficacious against invading pathogens but must be tightly regulated to avoid immune-related pathogenesis. Accordingly, the innate immune system recognizes highly conserved components associated with infections and damaged cells using a limited number of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), which are differentially expressed across cell types.
