  2. 1. Studies on scavenger receptor class B type I and genes implicated in foam cell formation

    Author : Per-Arne Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; scavenger receptor class B type I; high-density lipoprotein; oxidized low-density lipoprotein; macrophages; expression profiling;

    Abstract : The risk of atherosclerosis correlates with plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and is inversely correlated to plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Accumulation of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) by arterial macrophages is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of molecular mechanisms of action of TNF antagonists in rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Anca Irinel Catrina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Rheumatoid arthritis; TNF antagonists; cytokines; macrophages; matrix metalloproteinases; osteoprotegerin; RANKL; apoptosis;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive bone destruction that leads to joint deformity and physical disability. Even though several therapeutic drugs are available, none have emerged as an ideal RA treatment that delays joint destruction and halts disease progression. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nanofeatures of Biomaterials and their Impact on the Inflammatory Response

    Author : Shiuli Pujari-Palmer; Marjam Ott; Håkan Engqvist; Matteo Santin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanofeatures; alumina; hydroxyapatite; inflammation; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

    Abstract : Nanomaterials offer an advantage over traditional biomaterials since cells naturally communicate via nanoscale interactions. The extracellular matrix, for example, modulates adhesion and cellular functions via nanoscale features. READ MORE

  6. 4. Host cell responses to Helicobacter pylori secreted factors

    Author : Raquel Garcia Lobato Tavares; Sushil Kumar Pathak; Åsa Sjöling; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; Secreted proteins; Host cell responses; Macrophages; Apoptosis; Pro-inflammatory cytokines; MAPKs; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : The infection of the human gastric mucosa by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori can lead to the development of gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, and cancer. The factors that determine disease development in a small percentage of infected individuals are still not fully understood. READ MORE

  7. 5. Apoptosis of Peripheral Blood Leukocytes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Studies on Serum Induction and Complement-Dependent Clearance Mechanisms

    Author : Birgitta Gullstrand; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Complement; Apoptosis; SLE; Autoimmunity;

    Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease involving many organ systems. The cause is not known, but a complex combination of environmental and genetic factors seems to be involved. READ MORE
