2. 1. Human intestinal T lymphocytes : a comparative analysis of phenotype and function in normal and inflamed mucosa

   Author : Silvia Melgar; Nadine Cerf-Bensussan; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human intestinal mucosa; intraepithelial lymphocyte; lamina propria lymphocyte; γδ T cell; regulatory T cell; cytotoxicity; cytokine; basal lymphoid aggregate; ulcerative colitis; Crohn s disease;

   Abstract : The epithelial lining of the gut must allow immediate contact with beneficial components as nutrients and normal microflora. At the same time it runs the constant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes and noxious agents. READ MORE

4. 2. Basal lamina genes affected in leiomyomatosis and congenital muscular dystrophy : structure and mutation analyses of the collagen COL4A6 and laminin LAMA2 genes

   Author : Xu Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Basal laminae (basement membranes) are flexible thin sheets of specialized extracellular matrix separating organ cells from the underlying or surrounding connective tissues. They are found beneath epithelial and endothelial cells amd surrounding different cells, such as muscle fibers and nerves. READ MORE

5. 3. Interactions between neural retina, retinal epithelium and choroid

   Author : Lena Ivert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : RPE; neural retina; basal lamina; Bruch s membrane; choroid; subretinal space; bleb detachment; ICG; FAG; SLO; choroidal blood flow.;

   Abstract : The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a non-replicating monolayer that plays a key role nursing the photoreceptors of the neural retina, regulating fluid movement within the subretinal space, maintaining a basal laminar layer of Bruch s membrane, and influencing the choriocapillaris. This project investigates how surgical manipulation of the retinal epithelial layer influences the neural retina, the choroid and the epithelial layer itself. READ MORE

6. 4. Morphology and biochemistry of the tympanic membrane in relation to retraction pathology

   Author : Johan Knutsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Tympanic membrane; retraction pathology; secretory otitis media; cholesteatoma; pars tensa; lamina propria; keratinizing epithelium; collagen type; progenitor cells; stem cells; immunohistochemistry; electron microscopy;

   Abstract : Otitis media is very common during childhood and may predispose for tympanic membrane (TM) pathology later in life. Therefore, it is important to investigate the possible changes in TMs subjected to otitis media. There is evidence of a relationship between previous otitis media and TM retraction disease.

7. 5. Cell Contacts and Airway Epithelial Damage in Asthma

   Author : Shahida Shahana; Godfried Roomans; Rolf Odselius; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anatomy; Desmosomes; tight junctions; major basic protein; eosinophil; cytokines; epithelial damage.; Anatomi; Anatomy; Anatomi;

   Abstract : Airway epithelial damage is commonly found in asthma patients. Epithelial damage was investigated with special reference to contacts between epithelial cells.Eosinophils, common in allergic asthma, secrete cationic proteins, particularly major basic protein (MBP). READ MORE
