11. Calcium signaling in development and disease
Sammanfattning : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a highly versatile signaling messenger involved in a diverse range of physiological processes such as gene transcription/expression, proliferation, differentiation and cell death. Intracellular Ca2+ signals are generated through a 10 000 – 20 000 fold gradient across the cell membrane and via release from the external milieu and/or internal Ca2+ stores. LÄS MER
12. Autocrine growth stimulation in human bladder cancer
Sammanfattning : Bladder cancer is one of the most common human cancers which, on a worldwide basis, represents 3-4 % of all malignancies. It is primarily occuring in people over 60 and males are about 2-3 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than are women. LÄS MER
13. Nitric oxide : a marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract
Sammanfattning : The main aim of this work is to investigate the role of Nitric oxide (NO) as a diagnostic marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract. NO exerts multiple modulating effects on inflammation and plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses. NO is formed enzymatically in vivo from Larginine by several NO synthases (NOS).

14. Evaluation of immunological markers for the diagnosis of active and latent tuberculosis
Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis (TB) is the single deadliest infectious disease in the world and around one fourth of the global population is estimated to be latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The World Health Organization (WHO) targets reduction of mortality by 95% and incidence rate by 90% by year 2035. LÄS MER
15. Relation between nutritional status, the outcome of infection and immune responses
Sammanfattning : A causal interaction between nutrition and the outcome of different infections has been known since long time ago. Moreover, responses of human beings to infection are diverse and demarcated by immunity. A deficient and unappropriated nutrition allows to a deficient immune response. LÄS MER
