16. The role of the epithelial cell in Escherichia coli induced neutrophil migration into the urinary tract
Sammanfattning : This study examined the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. (1) Bacterial induction of neutrophil chemotactic cytokines and their role in neutrophil migration. Uropathogenic E. LÄS MER
17. Mast Cell Migration in Inflammatory Diseases
Sammanfattning : Mast cells (MCs) are forceful multifunctional effector cells of the immune system. MCs are normally distributed throughout connective and mucosal tissues, but in several pathological conditions accumulation of MCs occur. LÄS MER
18. Helicobacter pylori and Chlamydia pneumoniae in primary care- cardiovascular and gastrointestinal aspects
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori and Chlamydia pneumoniae are common infectious agents in the Swedish population, causing gastritis ulcers and respiratory infections. The metabolic syndrome is characterised by overweight, insulin resistance, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. LÄS MER
19. Mechanisms of Escherichia coli induced transepithelial neutrophil migration
Sammanfattning : Mucosal infections trigger an inflammatory response that includes the secretion of cytokines and the recruitment of neutrophils to the infected site. This thesis describes studies examining the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. Escherichia coli (E. LÄS MER
20. Effects of the host defense peptide LL-37 on human cells : Immunomodulation and cytotoxicity
Sammanfattning : The human host defense peptide LL-37 has an essential role in the first line of defense against invading pathogens. This cathelicidin is mainly produced by immune cells and epithelial cells aligning the mucosal areas and is normally upregulated upon infection and inflammation. LÄS MER
