2. Mucosal dendritic cells in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract : Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammation of the bowel, is a multi-factorial condition where uncontrolled immune responses to luminal bacteria occur in genetically predisposed individuals. The first observable clinical signs are small ulcers that form at a specialised form of epithelium, follicle-associated epithelium (FAB). READ MORE

5. Studies on nitric oxide in autonomic neurotransmission
Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to study nitric oxide (NO) as a mediator in autonomic neurotransmission in the enteric nervous system, including studies on the mechanism for neuronal release of NO, as well as the effects of NO on intestinal smooth muscle and enteric neurones. Furthermore, the signal transduction pathway for the evoked effects of NO and nitrergic neurotransmission were investigated. READ MORE
