  1. 11. Isothiocynates as skin sensitizers. Bioactivation and distribution in skin and draining lymph nodes

    Författare :Kristin Samuelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Development of contact dermatitis can be caused by electrophilic compounds (haptens) or prohaptens that come into contact with the skin. A prohapten is a compound seemingly harmless at first sight that can be transformed into reactive metabolites by metabolizing enzymes in the skin to become a hapten. LÄS MER

  3. 12. On lymph node based immunotherapy of cancer

    Författare :Lu Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer Immunotherapy based on one’s own immune system to fight cancer is emerging as an important treatment option for advanced stage diseases. The earliest attempts of cancer therapy based on the provocation of the immune system with infectious agents can be traced back to the 18th century, and the field of immunotherapy has since developed into three main groups: cellular-, antibody- and cytokine- therapies.

  4. 13. Immune response and tumour cell detection in lymph nodes of head and neck cancer

    Författare :Åsa Kågedal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Many patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma present with regional spread to the cervical lymph nodes. Lymph nodes metastases are today the most important factor influencing both the treatment and outcome for this type of cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Hem- and lymph-angiogenesis in cancer metastasis

    Författare :Hong Ji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis, the process of sprouting new microvessels from the preexisting vasculature, is known to promote tumor growth. However, the role of tumor angiogenic vessels in facilitating metastasis remains poorly understood. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : As a cancer grows it will, at a certain stage of disease progression, start spreading in the body. For several types of cancer this spreading will first occur through the lymphatic system and the first place where metastatic cell will be encountered is the first lymph node that drains the area where the tumor is located.
