2. 1. Chronic stress and intestinal barrier function: Implications for infection and inflammation in intensive salmon aquaculture

   Author : Henrik Sundh; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Intestinal barrier function; stress; cortisol; Ussing chamber; welfare; health; inflammation; neutrophils; cytokines; chronic stress;

   Abstract : Aquaculture is a fast growing food-producing sector worldwide. This has increased the awareness among the public as well as governments of the need to secure the welfare and health of farmed fish. Atlantic salmon is, in non-Asian countries, one of the most successful aquacultured species. READ MORE

4. 2. The role of microorganisms in prostate cancer development

   Author : Johanna Bergh Drott; Fredrik Elgh; Torkel Wadström; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prostate cancer; aetiology; inflammation; Propionibacterium acnes; patologi; Pathology;

   Abstract : Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Swedish men, but the aetiology of this disease is largely unknown. There is evidence for a linkage between chronic inflammation and prostate cancer. The mechanisms causing prostate inflammation and how this could promote tumour development and progression are however largely unknown. READ MORE

5. 3. Regulation of survival and proliferation of human intestinal epithelial cells by leukotriene D4

   Author : Sailaja Paruchuri; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rac; General pathology; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi; PI3K; CREB; p90RSK; Erk-1 2; PKC; inflammation; migration apoptosis; proliferation; LTD4; cell survival;

   Abstract : The pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. READ MORE

6. 4. Vibrio cholerae modulates the immune defense of human gut mucosa

   Author : Aziz Bitar; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Sun Nynt Wai; Mikael Rehn; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vibrio cholerae; intestinal epithelial cell; duodenum biopsy; acute cholera; immunomodulation; microRNA; OMV; cytokine; T84 monolayer; miR-146; miR-155; VCC; PrtV; hemolysis; IL-8; TNF-a; IL-1b; IL-18; CCL20; IRAK2; inflammation; mikrobiologi; Microbiology; immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : The key function of innate immunity is to sense danger signals and initiate effective responses as a defense mechanism against pathogens. Simultaneously, effector responses must be regulated to avoid excessive inflammation with resulting tissue damage. READ MORE

7. 5. Novel Immunotherapies and Immunoregulation in a Chronic Inflammatory Disease of the Central Nervous System

   Author : Shahram Lavasani; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; Djurfysiologi; Animal physiology; probiotics; immunotherapy; CD1; T-cell; CNS; inflammation; EAE; MS; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

   Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system (CNS) which is thought to arise from a breakdown of immunological tolerance in CD4 cells. The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of regulation mechanisms of T cell-dependent chronic inflammation in the CNS and explore ways to overcome the onset and progression of the disease, which can be an important step forward in the treatment of MS.
