  1. 1. Airway epithelial shedding: Morphological and functional aspects in vivo

    Author : Jonas Erjefält; Luftvägsinflammation; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; eosinophils; neutrophils; plasma exudation; barrier restitution; basal cells; ciliated cells; secretory cells; Epithelial repair; epithelial shedding; fibrinogen; fibronectin; Respiratory system; Andningsorganen;

    Abstract : Epithelial damage may contribute to the pathology in airway diseases such as asthma and rhinitis. However, the distribution of epithelial shedding in inflammatory airway diseases and, particularly, the ensuing repair processes are largely unknown. READ MORE

  2. 2. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia from newborn disease to long-term sequelae

    Author : Eva Berggren Broström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) is a complication of premature birth that is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in infancy and impaired lung function and obstructive lung disease from childhood to adulthood. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial, and may involve one or more of the following: a deficiency in surfactant production in the immature lung, chronic inflammatory processes before and after birth, oxidative stress, and trauma due to mechanical ventilation.

  3. 3. On the regulation of immune responses to dietary and self antigens

    Author : Susanne Lindgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Tolerance; regulatory T cells; self antigens; oral tolerance; dietary antigens; intestinal epithelial cells; exosomes; Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A;

    Abstract : Regulatory mechanisms are necessary to avoid the misdirected aggressive immune responses responsible for the pathology seen in autoimmunity and allergy. Thymic-derived CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are indispensible for this regulation. We investigated if CD4+CD25+ Treg prevents auto-reactive responses in adult peripheral blood and cord blood.
