6. Regulatory Immune Responses and Repair Mechanisms in Atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of lipid rich plaques in the arterial wall. Rupture of a plaque results in clinical manifestations such myocardial infarction or stroke. LÄS MER
7. Regulation of gut IgA induction by helper T cells
Sammanfattning : The gut is the largest lymphoid organ in the body. Due to intense and constant exposure to the outside world, it also functions as the most important portal of entry for many pathogens. LÄS MER
8. Studies on the function of CD4CD25 regulatory T cells: An in vitro approach
Sammanfattning : Immunological self-tolerance is a state of the whole organism where deleterious responses are either avoided or regulated. Breaking of immunological tolerance will lead to autoimmune disease or chronic inflammatory conditions. LÄS MER
9. The immortalization process of T cells : with focus on the regulation of telomere length and telomerase activity
Sammanfattning : Cellular immortalization is a major hallmark of cancer and is a multi-step process that requires numerous cell-type specific changes, including inactivation of control mechanisms and stabilization of telomere length. The telomeres at the chromosome ends are essential for genomic stability, and limit the growth potential of most cells. LÄS MER
