    Abstract : The oldest-old (people aged 80 or older) constituted 5 % of the population in Sweden in 2000, an increase from 1.5 % fifty years earlier. The immune system undergoes dramatic changes at high age, sometimes referred to as “immunosenescence”. READ MORE

  4. 2. The use of immunological biomarkers to improve individualization of postoperative radiotherapy in breast cancer

    Author : Axel Stenmark Tullberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes; CD8; FOXP3; Radiotherapy; Breast cancer;

    Abstract : Radiotherapy (RT) forms the cornerstone of most curative breast cancer treatment due to its well-established risk-reducing effect on local recurrences at the population level. However, there is heterogeneity regarding treatment benefits at the individual level, and research currently aims to better tailor treatment decisions based on tumor biology. READ MORE

  5. 3. HIV-1 evolution, disease progression and molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 single and HIV-1 and HIV-2 dual-infected individuals in Guinea-Bissau

    Abstract : Celiac disease is a prevalent small bowel disease in children caused by permanent intolerance against gliadin, which is the alcohol-soluble fraction of the cereal protein gluten in wheat, rye and barley. Celiac disease is characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the intestinal mucosa leading to damage of villous structure and loss of absorptive surface. READ MORE
