1. Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis
Sammanfattning : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are rare disease entities affecting skeletal muscle and other organs such as the lungs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of poly-/dermatomyositis. LÄS MER
2. Models of alveolar remodeling in chronic lung disease
Sammanfattning : Lung function is highly dependent on the structure of the lung parenchyma. Remodeling of the alveolar compartment is a central part of the pathology of chronic lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). LÄS MER
3. Immunopeptidomics and autoantigens of interstitial lung diseases
Sammanfattning : We investigate Sarcoidosis and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, IPF, to find markers for early fibrosis development. The aetiologies for both diseases are unknown and there is no specific treatment, moreover, there is a lack of diagnostic biomarkers for both diagnose and disease activity. LÄS MER
4. Lung T cells in inflammatory disorders : an approach to interstitial lung disease, multiple sclerosis and smoking induced inflammation
Sammanfattning : The lungs are constantly exposed to microorganisms and environmental irritants. Pulmonary inflammation is the result of an immune process to protect the body, and may sometimes eventually result in disease. T cells including various subsets are of major importance for orchestrating the protection of the lung as well as for inflammatory reactions. LÄS MER
5. Radiation induced pneumonitis : clinical and experimental studies with special emphasis on the effect of smoking
Sammanfattning : Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an established method providing diagnostic support and evaluation of disease activity in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aims of the present investigation were 1) to study the inflammatory response in pneumonitis evoked by irradiation. LÄS MER
