  2. 1. Effects of the host defense peptide LL-37 on human cells : Immunomodulation and cytotoxicity

    Author : Sara Bodahl; Kärlfysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LL-37; Host defense peptides; Cathelicidin; Inflammation; Cytotoxicity; TLR3; Poly I:C;

    Abstract : The human host defense peptide LL-37 has an essential role in the first line of defense against invading pathogens. This cathelicidin is mainly produced by immune cells and epithelial cells aligning the mucosal areas and is normally upregulated upon infection and inflammation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Imaging-based methods for NK cell studies at the single-cell level

    Author : Quentin Verron; Björn Önfelt; Niklas Sandström; Michael Dustin; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; NK cells; microscopy; single-cell; Biological and Biomedical Physics; Biologisk och biomedicinsk fysik;

    Abstract : The immune system provides defense against infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. Besides eliminating extracellular agents, the immune system also constantly monitors our own cells for signs of transformation, including tumor development and virus infection. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanisms regulating Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity

    Author : Hanna van Ooijen; Björn Önfelt; Karl-Johan Malmberg; Karolin Guldevall; Morgan Huse; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural Killer cell; Live-cell microscopy; Single cell; 3D; Microwell;

    Abstract : Over the last 50 years, cancer survival rates have steadily improved thanks to earlier detection and novel treatment regimens. For example, drugs that act on the immune system, so-called immunotherapy, have drastically increased the prospect of survival for patients suffering from some of the most aggressive cancer types including advanced malignant melanoma.

  6. 4. Amyloids here, amyloids there…What’s wrong with them?

    Author : Anna Gharibyan; Ludmilla Morozova-Roche; Tuomas Knowels; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amyloids; oligomers; fibrils; cytotoxicity; Alzheimer s disease; Aortic stenosis; S100A9; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Amyloid formation is inherent property of proteins which under certain circumstances can become a pathologic feature of a group of diseases called amyloidosis. There are about 30 known human amyloidosis and more than 27 identified proteins involved in these pathologies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Targeting Gb3 and apoptosis-related proteins to overcome cisplatin resistance

    Author : Andreas Tyler; Kjell Grankvist; Simon Ekman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cisplatin resistance; exosomes; gb3; HSP70; the Bcl-2 family; cell research; cellforskning; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi; onkologi; Oncology;

    Abstract : Background Cisplatin is used for treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but treatment with cisplatin often leads to acquired resistance to cisplatin, resulting in poor patient survival. Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) have been associated with cisplatin resistance. READ MORE
