    Abstract : Systemic amyloidoses are a group of lethal diseases where proteins aggregate into fibrillar structures, called amyloid fibrils, that deposits throughout the body. Transthyretin (TTR) causes one type of amyloidosis, in which the aggregates mainly infiltrate nervous and cardiac tissue. READ MORE

  5. 3. Role of the CD47/SIRPα-interaction in regulation of macrophage phagocytosis

    Author : Mattias Olsson; Per-Arne Oldenborg; Hans Tapper; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; immunology; cell biology; Histology; Histologi;

    Abstract : CD47 is a cell surface glycoprotein that is expressed by virtually all cells in the body. Binding of CD47 to the macrophage receptor Signal Regulatory Protein alpha (SIRPα) yields an inhibitory signal that counteracts phagocytosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Inflammation and Cell Profileration Following Perinatal Brain Injury

    Author : Katarina Järlestedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypoxia-ischemia; immature brain; reactive gliosis; complement system; C3a; fear conditioning; lipopolysaccharide; inflammation;

    Abstract : Inflammation plays an important role in cerebral ischemic injury in the immature brain. The aim of the thesis was to investigate (1) the role of astrocyte activation and reactive gliosis in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury, (2) the role of complement derived peptide C3a in neonatal HI brain injury, (3) the effect of neonatal HI brain injury on fear learning and behaviour, (4) the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced systemic inflammation on cell proliferation in the developing brain.

  7. 5. Excitotoxic neurodegeneration in mouse brain : roles of immune cells and cytokines

    Author : Zhiguo Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Excitotoxic neurodegeneration is a common feature in many neurological diseases. However, the roles of immune cells and cytokines in this process are unclear. To address this issue, we used knockout (KO) mice deficient in various immune cells or cytokines in our studies. READ MORE
