4. 2. HAMLET - In vivo effects and mechanisms of tumor-cell death

   Author : Lotta Gustafsson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Biomedical sciences; proteasome stress; HAMLET; human milk; tumor-cell death; clinical trial; rat xenograft model; skin papilloma; glioblastoma;

   Abstract : HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells), a molecular complex derived from human milk, is an interesting new tool in cancer research since it induces programmed cell death in tumor cells while leaving normal, differentiated cells unharmed. The in vivo effects of HAMLET were studied in a rat xenograft model of human glioblastoma. READ MORE

5. 3. Effects of galectins and antibodies in HIV infection; Novel Assays

   Author : Enas Sheik-Khalil; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HIV-1; galectin-1; galectin-8; neutralizing antibodies; cell-cell fusion; Microscale anisotropy assay; virus binding assay; glycosylation; gp120; Automated plaque reduction assay; CellProfiler; NeutNet;

   Abstract : The high variability of the HIV envelope glycoproteins (Env), and their heavy glycan coating, contributes to the limited host immune control. Still, broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are found in some chronically infected HIV-infected individuals, which has spurred the research on antibody-based vaccines. READ MORE

6. 4. On the effects of Streptococcal NAD+-glycohydrolase and Streptolysin O on macrophages

   Author : Elsa Westerlund; Värd-patogeninteraktioner; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Innate immunity; macrophage; Streptococcus pyogenes; IL-1beta; Nad -glycohydrolase;

   Abstract : SummaryThe human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) causes both superficial infections, such as strep throat, and invasive infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis, and is responsible for about half a million deaths each year. The number of GAS infections have increased since the 1980’s, due to the emergence of a M1T1 strain that has become widely disseminated. READ MORE

7. 5. Phantom of the Neighbourhood : Longitudinal Studies on Area-based Conditions and Individual Outcomes

   Author : Lars Brännström; Sten-Åke Stenberg; Tomas Korpi; Björn Halleröd; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Neighbourhood effects; Contextual effects; Residential segregation; Sweden; Sociology; Sociologi;

   Abstract : This dissertation consists of three self-contained but interrelated empirical studies focusing on theoretical, empirical and political questions in the multidisciplinary field of neighbourhood effect research. Along with a comprehensive introductory essay, each study addresses questions concerning the potential influence of neighbourhood characteristics on individual social and economic outcomes at different life stages.
