1. Studies of Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Islet Transplantation
Sammanfattning : Clinical islet transplantation is today an established alternative treatment for a selected group of type 1 diabetes patients. The predominant technique for transplantation is infusion of islets in the liver via the portal vein. LÄS MER
2. Patient-Specific Finite Element Modeling of the Blood Flow in the Left Ventricle of a Human Heart
Sammanfattning : Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Therefore, numerous studies are undertaken to identify indicators which can be applied to discover cardiac dysfunctions at an early age. LÄS MER
3. Adenovirus-mediated Gene Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Sammanfattning : Adenovirus-mediated gene therapy is a potential complement to standard cancer treatments. Advantages are that vectors can be used to target tumors and that replicating viruses lead to increased therapeutic dosage. LÄS MER
4. Biomaterials and Hemocompatibility
Sammanfattning : Biomaterials are commonly used in the medical clinic today; however, artificial materials can activate the cascade systems in the blood (complement-, coagulation-, contact- and fibrinolytic systems) as well as the platelets to various degrees. When an artificial surface comes in contact with blood, plasma proteins will be adsorbed to the surface within seconds. LÄS MER
5. Antibody- and Peptide-based Immunotherapies : Proof-of-concept and safety considerations
Sammanfattning : The aim of cancer immunotherapy is to eradicate tumours by inducing a tumour-specific immune response. This thesis focuses on how antibodies and peptides can improve antigen presentation and the subsequent tumour-specific T cell response. Tumour recognition by the immune system can be promoted through delivery of antigen in the form of a vaccine. LÄS MER
