    Author : Reuben Clark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the tooth supporting tissues; gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone.

  5. 3. Chemotactic factors in the human follicle at ovulation

    Author : Eva Runesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chemokine; follicle; gonadotropin; human; ovary; ovulation;

    Abstract : Ovulation is initiated by the midcycle gonadotropin surge, which leads to a controlled degradation of the follicle wall ending in follicular rupture and oocyte extrusion. The gonadotropins triggers several biochemical and biophysical changes such as vascular alterations, increased proteolytic enzyme activity and leukocyte extravasation, within the preovulatory follicle.

  6. 4. Microglia : health promoting pathways and therapeutic targets in ageing and neuroinflammation

    Author : Rasmus Berglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microglia are the innate immune cells of the CNS with an embryonic origin and self-renew with a slow turnover throughout life.

  7. 5. Gateway to the gut : alterations in saliva in inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Mirjam Majster; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which consists of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic immune-mediated disease thought to result from genetic and environmental interaction which influence the commensal flora to trigger an inappropriate mucosal immune response. IBD primarily affects the intestines but is not restricted to them. READ MORE
