1. 16. The human antimicrobial protein hCAP18/LL37 in wound healing and cell proliferation

   Författare :Johan Heilborn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Innate immunity; antimicrobial peptides; LL-37; epithelial cell; keratinocytes; proliferation; reepithelialization; wound healing; tissue repair; angiogenesis; tumor growth; vitamin D;

   Sammanfattning : Epithelia constitute the principal barriers separating the host and the potentially injurious environment, and defence of this interface is therefore essential. Antimicrobial peptides are key effector molecules of the innate immune system. LÄS MER

3. 17. Cleavage Specificity of Mast Cell Chymases

   Författare :Mattias K. Andersson; Lars Hellman; Gunnar Pejler; Per Venge; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Biology; Immunology; Mast cell; Serine protease; Chymase; Cleavage specificity; Phage display; Biologi;

   Sammanfattning : Mast cells (MC) are potent inflammatory cells that are known primarily for their prominent role in IgE mediated allergies. However, they also provide beneficial functions to the host, e.g. in bacterial and parasitic defence. LÄS MER

4. 18. G-protein - cytoskeleton interactions in the human neutrophil during chemoattracant activation

   Författare :Eva Särndahl; Eduardo Lapetina; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The human body survives constant attacks by bacteria and other pathogens thanks to the surveillance of the neutrophil leukocytcs. At the site of an infection, several messenger molecules are generated that attract neutrophils from the blood and direct their migration toward the microbes. LÄS MER
