  1. 1. Severe viral respiratory tract infections in children

    Författare :Samuel Arthur Rhedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are estimated to cause 703.000 deaths annually in children below five years. The majority of RTIs in children are caused by viruses, yet the number of antivirals approved for treatment of these infections is very limited. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Gene regulation models of viral genetic switches

    Författare :Maria Werner; Erik Aurell; Michael Hörnquist; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biological physics; Biologisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The recent decades of research in molecular biology have resulted in break-throughs concerning our knowledge of the genetic code, protein structures and functions of the different cellular components. With this new information follows an increased interest in constructing computational models of the biological systems. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies on viral encephalitis with emphasis on herpes simplex encephalitis

    Författare :Anders Hjalmarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis studies of two types of viral CNS-infections are presented; influenza related encephalitis and herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE).

    Sammanfattning : Background Dengue is a significant problem of international health concern. According to the World Health Organization in 2012, globally, dengue is “the most important mosquito borne viral disease” with incidence 30 higher than it had been 50 years ago. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Potential role of MAIT cells in cancer immunotherapy and viral infection

    Författare :Katie Healy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an unconventional T cell subset with specialized antimicrobial functions. In humans, MAIT cells are characterized by their effector memory phenotype, rapid cytolytic capacity, and tissue-homing properties. LÄS MER
