41. Studies on microglia in tumor biology and neurobiology
Sammanfattning : Microglia are innate immune cells that reside in the central nervous system (CNS). Their activities are critical for ensuring the correct microenvironment for brain development and for maintaining homeostasis in the brain after birth. LÄS MER
42. Regulation of neutrophil apoptosis
Sammanfattning : The human neutrophil is the most abundant granulocyte and the major type of cell involved in an acute inflammatory response. Neutrophils are armed with various systems of enzymes, that can find and kill pathogens, but unfortunately, these "weapons" cannot distinguish between the host tissues and the "invaders. LÄS MER
43. Thiol redox state in apoptosis : physiological and toxicant modulation
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis is a physiological type of cell death used to regulate the number of cells during development and in adult organs. However, apoptosis can also be inappropriately activated or inhibited under pathological conditions. One of the critical mechanisms of apoptosis is the activity of cysteine proteases belonging to the caspase family. LÄS MER
44. Regulation of apoptotic processes in neurodegeneration and cancer : In vitro studies on human neuroblastoma cells
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis is a highly controlled process of cell death, which is vital for maintenance of all multicellular organisms. Aberrant regulation of apoptosis can give rise to pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. LÄS MER
45. The role of the mitochondrion in organotin-induced T-cell apoptosis
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis plays a central role in the development and the function of the immune system. The cell death program can, however, be inappropriately activated or suppressed under pathological conditions. Several toxins have been shown to interfere with intra-thymic processes, thereby contributing to autoimmune disorders. LÄS MER
