  2. 1. The importance of monocyte and granulocyte activation in rheumatoid arthritis and primary Sjögren's syndrome

    Author : Ingunn Torsteinsdóttir; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Rheumatoid arthritis; primary Sjögren s syndrome; peripheral blood; monocyte; macrophage; neutrophil; eosinophil; adhesion; phagocytosis; respiratory burst; CRP; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Macrophages and neutrophils infiltrate the synovium and synovial fluid in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These cells are considered to contribute to the destructive process in RA.The expression of adhesion and phagocytosis receptors on the surface of peripheral granulocytes and monocytes was increased in patients with RA.

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes increases the risk for cardiovascular disease three- to fourfold. Because of the rise in diabetes prevalence there is a need for a better understanding of the link between diabetes and atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Recruitment, Differentiation, and Function of monocytes during Salmonella infection

    Author : Anna Rydström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Salmonella; Monocyte; Neutrophil; Chemokine; Toll-like receptor; Differentiation;

    Abstract : Monocytes are a heterogeneous population in the blood with an enormous plasticity whose fate and functions are dictated by the microenvironment. They are phenotypically and functionally related to neutrophils and dendritic cells (DCs) and share an overlapping expression pattern of surface molecules with these cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modulation of cytokine production by mononuclear cells in allergic inflammation. The effects of allergen exposure and anti-inflammatory agents

    Author : Katarzyna Wosinska-Becler; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytokines; seasonal allergy; kinetics; CysLTR1 antagonist; montelukast; rush immunotherapy; monocyte; basophil; eosinophil; NK cell; T cell;

    Abstract : In pollen-sensitized subjects, seasonal allergen exposure results in clinical allergic disease, which in affected tissues displays a morphological picture typical of chronic inflammation. The cellular responses to allergens include the production of inflammatory cytokines that can be examined in peripheral blood cells. READ MORE
