  1. 11. Reduced ROS production triggers arthritis / The role of T cells in arthritis pathogenesis

    Författare :Jens Holmberg; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Spleen and lymph nodes Inflammation Reactive oxygen species T cells MHC; serology; Immunology; Immunologi; serologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to defend a novel mechanism that triggers arthritis susceptibility in both rats and mice through reduced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but also to introduce a novel model for chronic relapsing arthritis. Five papers are included, all of which employ animal models for rheumatoid arthritis and one that also uses animal models for multiple sclerosis. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Control of human papillomavirus type 1 late mRNA stability and translation by an AU-rich RNA element

    Författare :Marcus Sokolowski; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) infect the epithelial tissues in humans and infection with certain high-risk types is associated with cancer. The expressionof the HPV late capsid genes is dependent on cell differentiation. This may be one reason for the lack of HPV replication in vitro. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Myofibroblasts and the Vascular Endothelium : Impact of Fibrin Degradation Products and miRNA on Vascular Motility and Function

    Författare :Peder Fredlund Fuchs; Pär Gerwins; Johan Kreuger; Arne Östman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Angiogenesis; Vascular biology; Chemotaxis; Endothelial cell; Myofibroblast; Wound healing; miRNA; Heparan sulfate; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature and is important during development as well as wound healing and tissue remodeling. Angiogenesis also occurs during pathological conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Roles of voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subunits in pancreatic β cells

    Författare :Abdulla S. Kazim; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :diabetes; Type 2 diabetes T2D ; Ca2 ; Ca2 channels; subunits;

    Sammanfattning : Hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D) include elevated blood glucose and free fatty acids (FFAs) as a result of impaired β cell insulin secretion and decreased β cell mass. The glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in β cells is triggered by depolarization-evoked Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Molecular genetics of cutaneous malignant melanoma

    Författare :Malihe Eskandarpour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cutaneous malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumor of melanocytes in the skin with rapidly increasing incidence. Patients with advanced disease have a poor prognosis since the tumor is usually resistant to current therapies. Therefore, the development of novel strategies for preventing and treating melanoma is important. LÄS MER
