  2. 16. A study on the role of T helper cells in allergic inflammation

    Author : Julian Mario Stark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Central to the development of asthma and allergic airway inflammation are CD4 T cells, which upon activation through their T cell antigen receptor, differentiate into T helper (Th) cells with the potential to secrete distinct sets of cytokines.

    Abstract : Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) is an economically important crop, and recognised as an important source of antioxidants and bioactive compounds with health promoting effects. Yet increased incidence of allergy puts a limit to the choice of food for an increasing percentage of the population. READ MORE

  5. 18. Infant gut microbiota, immune responses and allergic disease during childhood

    Author : Maria A. Johansson; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Christina West; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : The early-life microbiota is important for postnatal immune maturation and implied in immune mediated diseases. The aim of this work was to study specific species of bacteria in the gut microbiota and relate them to immune function and allergic disease during childhood. READ MORE

  6. 19. The Voice of the Patient

    Author : Hampus Kiotseridis; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rhinitis; asthma; Patient-reported outcome; health-related quality of life; Children; asthma control; pollen warning; grass pollen allergy;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases, which constitute a global health problem, have been defined as one of the epidemics of the twenty-first century. Since there are no cures for allergic diseases today, the goal of treatment is to get the disease under control so that the patient can live a normal life with optimal chances of development.

  7. 20. Tailoring bioinformatics strategies for the characterization of the human microbiome in health and disease

    Author : Mauricio Barrientos Somarribas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human microbiome is a very active area of research due to its potential to explain health and disease. Advances in high throughput DNA sequencing in the last decade have catalyzed the growth of microbiome research; DNA sequencing allows for a cost-effective method to characterize entire microbial communities directly, including unculturable microbes which were previously difficult to study.
