11. Study of pruritus in psoriasis vulgaris : role of tachykinins
Sammanfattning : Pruritus has not been considered as the most important symptom of psoriasis. In the present thesis various methodologies have been used to investigate this symptom in psoriasis. The focus groups created a proper atmosphere for discussion on different aspects of pruritus in psoriasis. Pruritus was most common on the lower back and legs. LÄS MER
12. Somatosensory Circuits in the Central Nervous System
Sammanfattning : Spinal glycinergic neurons prevent spontaneous sensations of pain and itch, and development of persistent pain and itch conditions. The glycine receptor alpha 3 subunit (GLRA3) is suggested to be involved in certain inflammatory models, but not in acute nociception. LÄS MER
13. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of bile acid receptor activation for the treatment of human liver disease
Sammanfattning : Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear transcription factor that is activated by bile acids and regulates bile acid homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism. FXR activation by a ligand has been identified as a therapeutic modality for a range of liver and metabolic diseases. LÄS MER
14. Atopic dermatitis and distress
Sammanfattning : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by itching, redness, and skin lesions, affecting approximately 10–20% of children and 1–3% of adults worldwide. Distress associated with AD can negatively impact quality of life, work, and daily activities. LÄS MER
15. Genetic control of sensory neuron diversification
Sammanfattning : The somatosensory system of vertebrates transmits information from external and internal environments to the brain. This information relates to various modalities such as touch, temperature, itch and pain. The different modalities require a variety of subtypes of sensory neurons, tuned to detect and transmit specific stimuli. LÄS MER
