1. Mechanisms for immune escape in epithelial ovarian cancer
Sammanfattning : Tumors develop mechanisms to subvert the immune system, constituting immune escape. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the deadliest of all gynecological malignancies, uses a variety of mechanisms to undermine immune surveillance, aiding its establishment and metastatic spreading.

2. Glucocorticosteroid effects on cytokine production: studies in a glucocorticosteroid resistance model and in allergic airway disease
Sammanfattning : Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) are potent anti-inflammatory drugs, probably due to inhibitory effects on cytokine production. However, a small number of asthma patients seem GCS-resistant. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-2(IL-2) and IL-4, produced during allergic airway inflammation have been proposed to induce the resistance to GCS. LÄS MER
3. Intracellular lipids and inflammatory activity in macrophage foam cells
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is characterized by lipid accumulation and inflammation in arteries. The disease starts early in life with migration of monocytes into the arterial wall where they engulf entrapped lipoproteins and become macrophage foam cell. LÄS MER
4. Granulopoietic growth factors. Cytokine and cellular regulation of GM-CSF and G-CSF production
Sammanfattning : Granulocyte-macrophage- (GM-) and granulocyte- (G-) colony stimulating factor (CSF) are important cytokines in the regulation of hematopoiesis and for the function of mature blood cells. They are also involved in the cytokine network regulating the inflammatory and immune response. LÄS MER
5. Maturation of T-lymphocytes and monocytes in children in relation to development of atopic disease
Sammanfattning : Bakgrund: Atopiska sjukdomar har ökat i västvärlden under de senaste årtiondena. För att förstå den bakomliggande mekanismen vid sensibilisering mot allergen behöver vi förbättra vår kunskap av T-lymfocyters och monocyters utmognad hos små bam. LÄS MER
