  1. 1. Taking Pressure of Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma : Molecular Studies of Apoptosis and Interstitial Hypertension

    Författare :Pernilla Roswall; Nils-Erik Heldin; Kristofer Rubin; Sven Påhlman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicine; Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma; Apoptosis; Cre recombinase; 2-Methoxyestradiol; Transforming growth factor-β; Transgenic mouse; Tumor-associated macrophages; Tumor interstitial fluid pressure; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Molecular mechanisms in the development and progression of thyroid carcinomas are still not fully understood. In the present thesis the highly malignant anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) was used to study regulation of apoptosis and tumor interstitial fluid pressure (IFP). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Role of alveolar epithelial cells in macrophage responses against mycobacterial infections

    Författare :Olga Daniela Chuquimia Flores; Carmen Fernández; Diana Boraschi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lung; alveolar epithelial cells; macrophages; AEC-derived media; control of intracellular bacterial growth; mycobacterial infections; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to investigate the role of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) on immune responses against mycobacterial infections, specifically, the role of AEC in modulating macrophage functions through the secretion of broad variety of factors.In paper I, we compared murine AEC with interstitial macrophages (PuM) in their ability to take up and control mycobacterial growth and their capacity as antigen-presenting cells.

  4. 3. Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis

    Författare :Maryam Fathi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :dermatomyositis; polymyositis; interstitial lung disease;

    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

  5. 4. Origin and ontogeny of human lung macrophages

    Författare :Elza Evren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The lung is a vital organ occupied by a large diversity of immune cells due to its close proximity with the external environment. This thesis focuses on a particular type of immune cell: the macrophage. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) of an adenocarcinoma implanted into rat liver - methodology and effects

    Författare :Kjell Ivarsson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; heat shock protein HSP ; tumour immunology; resection; liver; adenocarcinoma; local treatment; monitoring; Interstitial laser thermotherapy; feedback control;

    Sammanfattning : Local treatment of a tumour is of interest from a number of perspectives. It is focused on reducing the tumour volume with minimal trauma, inducing tumour immunity and is a potential component of a combination therapy against tumours. LÄS MER
