1. Lipoproteins in Staphylococcus aureus infections
Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections remain a major challenge for the healthcare system, and new treatment options are highly demanded. S. aureus is a pathogenic microorganism, responsible for a broad range of clinical infections in humans. LÄS MER
2. Tolerance and Immunity: Opposite Outcomes of Microbial Antigen Stimulation
Sammanfattning : The immune system is remarkable in many ways. It exerts immunity to defend us from foreign pathogens, while it is also responsible for maintaining tolerance to avoid autoimmune diseases and allergy. This thesis includes three separate papers concerning both tolerance and immunity. LÄS MER
3. Platelets as immune cells in sensing bacterial infection
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Innate and adaptive immune responses in the lungs. Contribution to protection against mycobacterial infections
Sammanfattning : Host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is mediated by a combination of innate and adaptive immunity. In this thesis we investigated the role of components of innate system such as TLR2 signalling and alveolar epithelial cells type II (AEC II) in the immune responses against mycobacterial infections.

5. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammatory bone modeling
Sammanfattning : Patients with inflammatory or infectious conditions such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and loosened joint prosthesis display varying severity of destruction in the adjacent bone tissue. Bone loss in inflammatory diseases is considered a consequence of cytokine induced RANKL and subsequent enhanced osteoclast formation. LÄS MER
