  1. 1. Carex humilis - a caespitose clonal plant: ramet demography, ring formation, and community interactions

    Författare :Sofie Wikberg; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ramet density; Plant ecology; Växtekologi; ramet population dynamics; aggregated ramets; intravaginal; phalanx type; LTRE; matrix model; fitness; dry grassland; hollow crown; fairy ring; central die back;

    Sammanfattning : Carex humilis forms rings of densely aggregated ramets in dry grassland vegetation in Central Europe. In the thesis I conclude that ramet demography is important both for analyzing fitness in clonal plants and for understanding how C. humilis rings are formed. I studied the ramet demography of C.

  3. 2. Stress urinary incontinence in women : pathophysiological aspects

    Författare :Christian Falconer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :menopause; paraurethral connective tissue; extracellular matrix; collagen. proteoglycans; sensory innervation; intravaginal slingplasty.;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: The pathophysiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is multifactorial. In this thesis biochemical and ultrastructural changes in the paraurethral supporting connective tissue and changes in the innervation of the vaginal wall in relation to SUI have been focused upon.

  4. 3. Genital tract CD4+ T cells for vaccination and protection against Chlamydia trachomatis

    Författare :Ellen Marks; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Chlamydia; T cell differentiation; genital tract; vaccination; costimulation; Th1; Th2; Th17; Tregs;

    Sammanfattning : Vaccination strategies for protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are lacking due to an incomplete understanding of genital tract T cell responses. This thesis dissects the generation of T helper subsets, including the recently discovered Th17 subset, during genital tract infection with a common sexually transmitted pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, and addresses vaccine requirements for the generation of genital tract CD4+ T cell immunity.

  5. 4. Development of novel immunization approaches to generate immunity in the female genital tract with special reference to genital herpes

    Författare :Sara Tengvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :female genital tract immunity; genital herpes; mucosal adjuvant; TLR; MyD88; CpG ODN;

    Sammanfattning : Development of mucosal vaccines for inducing immunity in the female reproductive tract would have profound implications for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Despite numerous efforts, no such vaccines are currently available for human use. LÄS MER
