    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetes; islet transplantation; islets of Langerhans; xenotransplantation; nonhuman primate; blood; whole blood model; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; IBMIR; chemokines;

    Sammanfattning : Clinical islet transplantation is today an established alternative treatment for a selected group of type 1 diabetes patients. The predominant technique for transplantation is infusion of islets in the liver via the portal vein. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Feeding Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei strain F19 to infants during weaning : effects on adaptive immunity and gut microbial function

    Författare :Christina West; Olle Hernell; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Outi Vaarala; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adaptive immunity; allergy; complementary food; eczema; gut microbiota; infections; probiotics; short-chain fatty acids; Th1 Th2; weaning; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Gut microbial composition has been associated with immune-mediated diseases. Breastfeeding yields a microbiota rich in bifidobacteria and promotes colonization by lactobacilli. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are considered health-promoting and are used as probiotics, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Adaptive Immunity in Cardiovascular Disease

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis, thickening of the major arteries, is a chronic disease leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, both affecting millions worldwide. T-cells and antibodies have been implicated in atherosclerosis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The impact of viral vaccines in immunosuppressed and at-risk individuals

    Författare :Anja Rosdahl; Torbjörn Norén; Helena Hervius Askling; Sara Cajander; Leonardus (Leo) Visser; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vaccine; Vaccine failure; Immunocompromised host; Hepatitis A; Tick borne encephalitis; SARS-CoV-2; Innate immunity; Adaptive immunity;

    Sammanfattning : Vaccines have saved millions of lives, but for some individuals with a defective immune system the protection may be uncertain. This thesis aims to assess the immune response following viral vaccines in immunocompromised patients and in other groups at-risk. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Rho-GTPases in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Författare :Eric Malmhäll-Bah; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rho-GTPases; rheumatoid arthritis; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; RA treatment;

    Sammanfattning : The success of alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms is complicated by both heterogeneity of the disease and lack of predictive markers to guide treatment options. Deregulated Rho-GTPases, a family of hydrolase enzymes catalyzing guanosine triphospate (GTP) to guanosine diphospate (GDP), have a detrimental role in many diseases including RA. LÄS MER
