  5. 3. Genetic control of myasthenia gravis : a study on cytokine and co-stimulator genes and their related functions

    Author : DeRen Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a classical autoimmune disease characterised by muscle weakness due to an immune attack against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AchR) on the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction. The aim of the study was to identify the role of the genes encoding potential immune components, such as TNF, IL-1, IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-4, IL-10, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in the pathogenesis of MG.

  6. 4. Separation and Further Characterization of Hematopoietic Cell Populations Based on Phenotypic and Biophysical Properties

    Author : Josefina Dykes; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hematopoiesis; Blood Group; ABO-system; Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation; Cell Separation;

    Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are multipotent and possess self-renewal capacity. Thus, they can sustain a life-long hematopoiesis and are also capable of restoring the hematopoietic system when transplanted to a patient. READ MORE

  7. 5. Norovirus Epidemiology : Prevalence, transmission, and determinants of disease susceptibility

    Author : Johan Nordgren; Per-Eric Lindgren; Lennart Svensson; Andreas Matussek; Annalarua Carducci; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Norovirus (NoV) is today recognized as the most important agent of acute human gastroenteritis, causing a high number of diarrheal episodes in both adults and children. Outbreaks in hospitals, nursing homes, day-care centers, and from consumption of contaminated food and drinking water are common. Wastewater can be a source of NoV dissemination, e. READ MORE
