  1. 1. Smoking and T cell co-stimulation in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Caroline Wasén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatoid arthritis; CD8 T cell; programmed cell death-1; programmed cell death-1 ligand 1; smoking; microRNA;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I investigated if smoking limits the co-stimulatory system of CD8+ T cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I took special interest in the co-inhibitory receptor PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN)comprises a large group of tumours including the oral cavity and nasopharyngealarea, and typically affects older males in association with alcohol/tobacco usage.Within the oral cavity, the mobile tongue is the most common site for tumourdevelopment.

  4. 3. Modulation of invariant NKT cell activity by cytokines and receptors in human disease

    Författare :Carlotta Kuylenstierna; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate-like lymphocytes with both immunoregulatory and cytotoxic functions that play a role as activators and regulators of the immune response in many diseases. NKT cells are believed to bridge the innate and adaptive immune systems by rapidly producing large quantities of cytokines after recognition of CD1d-presented lipid antigens. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Development requirements of neurotrophins in the mammalian nervous system

    Författare :Wael M Elshamy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The survival of the mammalian peripheral nervous system neurons has long been known to depend on neurotrophic factor support during the period of programmed cell death. In fact this was the original hypothesis, put forward after the discovery of the prototype, nerve growth factor (NGF). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Novel immunotherapies for metastatic uveal melanoma - From bench to clinical biomarkers

    Författare :Vasu R. Sah; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, with durable long-term effects in a proportion of patients. However, in around half of these patients, there are little to no effects. Patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM), a rare form of melanoma originating from the eye has lack of effective treatments. LÄS MER
