  2. 1. Osteotropic cytokines : expression in human gingival fibroblasts and effects on bone

    Author : Py Palmqvist; Andersson Göran; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : osteoblasts; osteoclasts; fibroblasts; cytokines; IL-6; LIF; OSM; IL-4; IL-3; bone resorption; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Bone metabolism is regulated by endocrine and paracrine signalling molecules influencing bone cells in the continuously remodelling bone tissue. These molecules include a variety of osteotropic stimulatory and inhibitory cytokines. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cytokines in Metabolic Functions

    Author : Anna Benrick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : IL-1; IL-6; LIF; obesity; fat mass; energy expenditure; hypothalamus; gp130 SNP; myocardial infarction;

    Abstract : During infections, circulating cytokines are largely produced by immune cells. In healthy obese individuals, large parts of these circulating cytokines are produced in adipose tissue, for instance by macrophages that have accumulated there. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hollow cone gasoline/ethanol sprays under cold start conditions

    Author : Jonas Wärnberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SIDI; Cold start; PIV; Piezo-injector; PDA; Ethanol; SI; SGDI; E85; Direct injection stratified charge; LIF; Spark ignition; Mie;

    Abstract : To decrease the release of CO2 from fossil fuels into the atmosphere, within the transportation sector the efficiency of vehicles and their engines must be increased. Additionally renewable fuels may be used to further decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. READ MORE

  6. 4. Leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and gp130 in early defence against HIV-1 infection

    Author : Annelie Tjernlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : LIF; HIV-1; lymphoid tissue; cytokine; innate immune response; Jak Stat signalling pathway; cMAGI cells; siRNA;

    Abstract : Leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) is a polyfunctional cytokine that belongs to the IL-6 family which mainly signals through the Jak/Stat pathway via the gp130/LIFR-α heterodimer. The focus of my research has been to investigate and understand if and how LIF exerts HIV1 suppressing activity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Synthesis and properties of substituted Hg-based superconductors

    Author : Dmitriy A. Pavlov; Ingrid Bryntse; Lauri Niinistö; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hg-based cuprate superconductors; synthesis and structure determination; LiF flux; oxyfluorides; irrevrsibility line; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on studies of substituted Hg-based superconducting copper oxides ((Hg1-xMx)Ba2Can-1CunO2n+2+δ). These compounds are promising objects of investigation, not only from a fundamental point of view but also because of their high values of superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and irreversibility field (Hirr).
