  2. 6. β2 integrin-induced signal transduction in granulocytic cells

    Author : Carina Hellberg; Maurice B. Hallett; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Neutrophil granulocytcs are highly mobile, phagocytic white blood cells whose motile functions are critically dependent on adhesion receptors belonging to the B2 integrin subfamily. These integrins are vital for neutrophil functions due to their ability to generate intracellular signals. READ MORE

  4. 7. The role of B cells in rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Maria Rehnberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; Rheumatoid arthritis; B cell depletion therapy;

    Abstract : It has been known for a long time that B cells play a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). By production of autoantibodies, presentation of auto-antigens and by producing cytokines B cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. In recent years it has been shown that anti-B cell therapy is a powerful tool in the treatment of RA. READ MORE

  5. 8. Pinpointing biomarkers of importance for children with combined type 1 diabetes and celiac disease

    Author : Andrea Tompa; Maria Faresjö; Karin Åkesson; Mikael Karlsson; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; celiac disease; children; biomarkers; immune markers; flow cytometry; cryopreservation; T cells; T-regulatory cells; B cells; B-regulatory cells; cytokines; chemokines; acute phase proteins; adipocytokines; matrix metalloproteinases;

    Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease are both characterized by an autoimmune feature. The diseases also share the same risk genes, and thereby patients have an increased risk of developing the other disease subsequently. READ MORE

  6. 9. Astroglial Cells : Role in Neurodegenerative-Inflammatory Processes in the Central Nervous System

    Author : Gun Eriksson; Karl Åkerman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; Kemi; neurokemi och neurotoxikologi; Neurochemistry and Neurotoxicology;

    Abstract : Inflammatory processes, mediated by the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) -1a/b, tumor necrosis factora(TNFa), IL-6 and excitotoxic actions of glutamate, are proposed to be implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.A neurotoxic fragment ofb-amyloid,bA25-35, was shown to induce a reactive phenotype of primary astrocytes and microglial cells in a time-dependent manner.

  7. 10. Modeling hybrid halide perovskites for solar cell applications : Simulations of electronic structure and X-ray spectroscopy

    Author : Cody M. Sterling; Michael Odelius; Alison B. Walker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solar cells; perovskites; computational chemistry; simulations; electronic structure; density functional theory; X-ray spectroscopy; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : Over the past 13 years, perovskites have become a very promising candidate in the search for cheap and effective photovoltaic materials for solar cells.  Perovskite solar cell power conversion efficiency has increased from 3. READ MORE
