6. Autoantigens in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Sammanfattning : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises diseases that are characterized by chronic or relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an extraintestinal manifestation in IBD. LÄS MER
7. A study on the role of T helper cells in allergic inflammation
Sammanfattning : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Central to the development of asthma and allergic airway inflammation are CD4 T cells, which upon activation through their T cell antigen receptor, differentiate into T helper (Th) cells with the potential to secrete distinct sets of cytokines.

8. The mucus layer and other barriers to intestinal drug absorption
Sammanfattning : The extraepithelial mucus layer acts as a barrier to the absorption and diffusion of drugs. Three in vitro models have been used for studies of this and other intestinal barriers to drug transport. A drug absorption model based on monolayers of the mucus-producing human intestinal goblet HT29-H cell line was developed. LÄS MER
9. Defining the role of mast cells in guinea pig models of asthma
Sammanfattning : Asthma is a common respiratory disease characterized by several pathophysiological features, such as allergen induced bronchoconstriction (in allergic asthma), airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), airway inflammation, airway remodeling and mast cell hyperplasia. An increase of mast cells has been found in asthma patients. LÄS MER
10. Bestrophin-3: Localization and function in normal and injured tissues
Sammanfattning : Bestrophin-3 (Best3) is a protein with multiple functions. It can constitute a calcium-activated chloride channel when overexpressed in cultured cells, but the function of Best3 is not well studied in cells in situ. Recently Best3 protein was suggested to play also cell-protective role. LÄS MER
