  1. 11. Interferons in antiviral defense and autoimmunity : focus on type 1 diabetes

    Författare :Monica Hultcrantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Type 1 diabetes; interferons; islets of Langerhans; Coxsackievirus; nonobese diabetic mouse;

    Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease characterized by the loss of insulin producing beta-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Interferons (IFNs), produced by immune cells and infected parenchymal cells, may be protective or damaging in the pathogenesis of T1D. LÄS MER

  3. 12. A battle between host and pathogen : the innate immune response and enterovirus evasion strategies

    Författare :Katharina Lind; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Infections with Coxsackieviruses are common and in most cases the infection is asymptomatic and efficiently cleared. On rare occasions, however, an infection can lead to severe diseases including myocarditis, hepatitis and pancreatitis. Infections with Coxsackieviruses have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Enterovirus infections in type 1 diabetes and cystic fibrosis : antiviral defence and viral immune evasion strategies

    Författare :Emma Svedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Enteroviruses are common viruses which cause infections in humans that usually result in mild flu-like symptoms before viral clearance. However, in some cases these infections can progress to more severe diseases such as myocarditis, pancreatitis and hepatitis. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Aberrancies associated with dendritic cells and T lymphocytes in type 1 diabetes

    Författare :Susanne Skarsvik; Dan Holmberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The incidence of type 1 diabetes has rapidly increased in the Western world and the age of onset has shifted to younger ages. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease caused by destruction of the insulin producing ß-cells in the pancreas leading to severe insulin deficiency. This results in hyperglycaemia and diagnosis of overt type 1 diabetes. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Common respiratory virus infections in cystic fibrosis : from immunity to vaccine

    Författare :Renata Utorova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal monogenetic disease in Caucasians. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is responsible for appropriate ion and water transport across epithelial cell membranes. LÄS MER
