  1. 1. Reproductive Factors and Breast Cancer - Parity, Breastfeeding and Genetic Predisposition in Relation to Risk and Prognosis

    Författare :Salma Butt; Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; subgroups; stage; survival; Breast cancer risk; parity; nulliparity; multiparity; breastfeeding; age at first birth; single nucleotide polymophisms;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study reproductive factors and genetic polymorphisms in relation to breast cancer risk and survival. An important component of this was to investigate the risk of specific breast cancer subgroups. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Activation and dysregulation of innate immunity in HIV-1 and HIV-2 infections

    Författare :Salma Nowroozalizadeh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors, expressed by antigen presenting cells (APCs) that recognize conserved molecular patterns of diverse microorganisms. TLR triggering activates APCs, leading to expression of innate effector molecules and signals that initiate adaptive immune responses. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies of innate immune stimulation with CpG in HIV infection

    Författare :Salma Nowroozalizadeh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Two types of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may cause acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS): HIV-1, the most pathogenic virus of the two and found worldwide, and HIV-2, which is mostly detected in West Africa and known to be less transmissible and which demonstrates slower progression towards immunodeficiency. How CD4+ T cells are lost during these two infections is not yet completely clear; however, a constant battle against the rapid viral turnover, resulting in chronic inflammation, is thought to exhaust several compartments of the immune system.

  5. 4. Antimicrobial peptides in innate immunity : interactions with antibiotics and effects of post-translational modifications

    Författare :Salma Al Adwani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important innate immunity factors contributing to the clearance of invading pathogens and immunomodulating immune responses. In this thesis, the focus is on AMPs of the cathelicidin family, i.e. the human LL-37 and the canine K9CATH. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Analysis of different forms of locomotor behavior in lamprey

    Författare :Salma Sanzida Islam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Motor coordination; undulatory locomotion; postural corrections; spinal cord damage; lamprey;

    Sammanfattning : The ability to locomote, that is move actively in space, is characteristic of the animal kingdom. Many species are capable of different forms of locomotion. They include forward and backward locomotion, fast and slow progression, etc. LÄS MER
