11. Human myeloid cells in cancer, inflammation, and infection
Sammanfattning : Myeloid cells are a part of innate immunity, playing a major role in orchestrating innate and adaptive immune responses. While work performed in experiment model systems has significantly increased our knowledge on fundamental myeloid cell functions, studies in well-designed clinical cohorts are important for understanding their functions in human health and disease, such as in cancer, infection and chronic inflammation.

12. Immunosuppressive Myeloid Cells in Breast Cancer and Sepsis
Sammanfattning : Immune cells play paradoxical roles in cancer progression. On one hand, the immune system protects us against tumor development by recognizing and eliminating cancerous cells. LÄS MER
13. On the role of dendritic cells in HIV-1 infection
Sammanfattning : Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells with the capacity to initiate primary T cell responses against pathogens such as HIV-1. In addition, DCs express the receptors required for HIV-1 infection and as DCs are prevalent in the mucosa, they encounter the virus early after sexual transmission. LÄS MER
14. Redox reactions in cancer: impact and regulation
Sammanfattning : The reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction involves a change in the oxidation state of molecules where a molecule that donates an electron is oxidized and a molecule that accepts an electron is reduced. The NADPH oxidase of myeloid cells, NOX2, is a major source of oxidants in the form of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are short-lived oxygen derivatives. LÄS MER
15. Human cytomegalovirus and dendritic cell interaction : role in immunosupression and autoimmunity
Sammanfattning : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with an impaired immune system. The virus itself can cause transitory but significant immunosuppression in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised infected individuals. LÄS MER
