  1. 1. Regulation of human eosinophil transmigration across lung epithelium

    Författare :Lixin Liu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Eosinophils; regulation; migration; epithelial cells; lung; calcium; CD11b CD18; neutrophils; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Eosinophil infiltration into the lung tissues and airways is a hallmark of allergic asthma. To reach the lung lumen, eosinophils migrate across the vascular endothelium, through the interstitial matrix and across lung epithelium. 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. Mesenchymal heterogeneity in the adult human lung

    Författare :Måns Kadefors; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lung; Extracellular matrix; Adventitia; Fibroblast; mesenchymal cell; Alveolar epithelial cell; Fibrosis; Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; Mass spectrometry; RNA-sequencing;

    Sammanfattning : The human lung is a complex tissue consisting of a heterogeneous mix of different structures and cells, each which a specific role that together contribute to the primary function of the organ: the gas exchange. Different mesenchymal cells populate the interstitial areas around airways and blood vessels and form the connective tissue together with the extracellular matrix. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Activation of lung epithelial cells by group 2 mite allergens

    Författare :Camilla Österlund; Anders Bucht; Thomas Sandström; Jan Wahlström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; group 2 mite allergens; Der p 2; Der f 2; Eur m 2; Lep d 2; airway epithelium; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Throughout many parts of the world house dust mites (HDM) are considered as a major source of indoor aeroallergens and they are powerful inducers of allergic diseases. Proteolytic HDM allergens are recognised as being able to directly activate respiratory epithelial cells and thereby actively participate in innate immune responses. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Models of alveolar remodeling in chronic lung disease

    Författare :Oskar Rosmark; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular matrix ECM ; Decellularization; Mass Spectrometry MS ; Biomechanics; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD ; Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF ; Alveolar epithelial cells; Fibroblasts; Lung slices;

    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
