  2. 1. Mucosal dendritic cells in inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Sa'ad Yislam Salim; Johan D. Söderholm; Mary jo Wick; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Blood; Crohn s disease; dendritic cells; E. coli; FACS; follicle-associated; epithelium; human; ileum; mixed lymphocyte reaction; permeability; Peyer s patches; SAMP1 YitFc; Ussing chambers; villous epithelium; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammation of the bowel, is a multi-factorial condition where uncontrolled immune responses to luminal bacteria occur in genetically predisposed individuals. The first observable clinical signs are small ulcers that form at a specialised form of epithelium, follicle-associated epithelium (FAB). READ MORE

  4. 2. Mucosal Vaccination Using Polyacryl Starch Microparticles as Adjuvant with Salmonella enteritidis as a Model Pathogen

    Author : Lena Strindelius; Ingvar Sjöholm; Mary Jo Wick; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutics; mucosal vaccination; polyacryl starch microparticles; salmonella enteritidis; flagellin; fimbriae; rCTB; LPS; Ussing chamber; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci; galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : Polyacryl starch microparticles have been developed as a new mucosal vaccine adjuvant intended for use in oral vaccination. The main objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the efficacy of these polyacryl starch microparticles and to study their uptake through mucosal tissues. READ MORE

  5. 3. Investigation of Thermal Performance of Cylindrical Heatpipes Operated with Nanofluids

    Author : Morteza Ghanbarpourgeravi; Rahmatollah Khodabandeh; Björn Palm; Oronzio Manca; KTH; []
    Keywords : Nanofluid; heat pipe; thermal resistance; heat transfer coefficient; evaporator; condenser; wick; porous layer; heat flux; inclination angle; thermal conductivity; viscosity; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

    Abstract : Nanofluids as an innovative class of heat transfer fluids created by dispersing nanometre-sizedmetallic or non-metallic particles in conventional heat transfer fluids displayed the potential toimprove the thermophysical properties of the heat transfer fluids. The main purpose of this study is toinvestigate the influence of the use of nanofluids on two-phase heat transfer, particularly on thethermal performance of the heat pipes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development and Characterization of Reliable Graphene-based Materials for Lightweight and Efficient Thermal Management in Electronics

    Abstract : Cement production is responsible for a significant portion of manmade CO2 emissions. This motivates the development of cementitious binders with a lower carbon footprint. Considering the emissions in a longer perspective, the durability of concrete structures is absolutely essential. READ MORE
