  2. 1. Role of adhesion molecules and chemokines in TNF-alpha-induced leukocyte recruitment

    Author : Xiao Wei Zhang; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; intravital microscopy; microcirculation; inflammation; adhesion; leukocyte; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Migration of leukocytes from the circulating blood into the extravascular tissue is a key component in inflammatory reactions. Leukocyte extravasation (rolling-activation-adhesion-transmigration) is strictly coordinated by adhesion molecules and chemokines expressed on cell surfaces and in tissues. READ MORE

  4. 2. Brain Inflammation and Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Epilepsy

    Author : Deepti Chugh; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; Inflammation; Neurogenesis; Hippocampus; Microglia; Adhesion molecules; Scaffolding proteins;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is a severe chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures. Excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance, neuronal loss, brain inflammation, and altered adult neurogenesis are some of the characteristic hallmarks of epilepsy. READ MORE

  5. 3. On leukocyte recruitment in endotoxemic liver injury

    Author : Daniel Klintman; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ortopedi; traumatology; Kirurgi; orthopaedics; Surgery; Sepsis; Liver; Inflammation; Adhesion; Endotoxemia; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Leukocyte recruitment is a key feature of liver injury associated with endotoxemia and systemic inflammation. The aim of this thesis was to define the adhesive mechanisms underlying leukocyte endothelial cell interactions, and the therapeutic potential of interference with specific adhesion molecules in endotoxemic liver damage.

  6. 4. Innate immunity in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis and sepsis

    Author : Margareta Verdrengh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; mice; sepsis; septic arthritis; neutrophils; monocytes macrophages; GM-CSF; adhesion molecules;

    Abstract : Bacterial arthritis is a severe, rapidly progressing erosive disease with high morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative bacterium. Granulocytes together with cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage, are the earliest leukocytes entering the synovial tissue in response to invading staphylococci. READ MORE

  7. 5. Helicobacter pylori adhesion and patho-adaptation : the role of BabA and SabA adhesins in persistent infection and chronic inflammation

    Author : Jafar Mahdavi; Henrik Clausen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : H. pylori; BabA; adhesin; Lewis b; MUC5AC; sialyl-dimeric-Lewis x; chronic inflammation; SabA; Lewis x; LPS; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human-specific gastric pathogen which is responsible for a spectrum of diseases ranging from superficial gastritis to gastric and duodenal ulceration, and which is also highly associated with gastric cancer. The pathogenesis of severe gastric disorders caused by H. READ MORE
