1. Origin and Lifestyles of early Brachiopods and other Lophotrochozoans : Insights from the Chengjiang and Guanshan Fossil-Lagerstätten
Sammanfattning : One of the great unsolved evolutionary questions concerns the origin and phylogeny of the major animal phyla that appeared in the fossil record more than 540 million years ago, during the Cambrian explosion. Although new molecular information has been very useful, we still have little understanding about the origin of most of the phyla of bilaterians living today. LÄS MER
2. Adhesive and signaling mechanisms in abdominal sepsis
Sammanfattning : Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in intensive care units despite decades of scientific efforts. The lung is recognized as the most sensitive and critical organ affected by the hyper-inflammatory response in septic patients. Immune cell dysfunction develops in later phases of sepsis making patients susceptible to infections. LÄS MER
3. Studies on the Molecular Biology of the Mouse Pneumotropic Polyomavirus
Sammanfattning : The Murine Pneumotropic Virus (MPtV), in contrast to the other MurinePolyomavirus (MPyV), appears to be non-tumourigenic in its natural host. Instead, MPtV causes acute pneumonia and can serve as a model in studies of polyomavirus-induced disease. In initial experiments, MPtV large T-antigen (LT) was expressed in a heterologous system.

4. T lymphocytes and cytokines in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis
Sammanfattning : Experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG), induced in different animal species and strains by immunization with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), represents an experimental model of myasthenia gravis (MG) in humans. Both MG and EAMG are autoimmune diseases mediated by antibodies against AChR of neuromuscular junctions. LÄS MER
5. Dynamic regulation of DNA methylation in human T-cell biology
Sammanfattning : T helper cells play a central role in orchestrating immune responses in humans. Upon encountering a foreign antigen, T helper cells are activated followed by a differentiation process where the cells are specialised to help combating the infection. LÄS MER
