  2. 1. Defence capabilities of human intestinal epithelial cells

    Author : Anna Fahlgren; Sten Hammarström; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Gudmundur Gudmundsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; intestine; mucosa; epithelium; antimicrobial; defensins; glycocalyx; ulcerative colitis; Crohn´s disease; celiac disease; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : The epithelial cells lining the intestinal mucosa separate the underlying tissue from components of the intestinal lumen. Innate immunity mediated by intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) provides rapid protective functions against microorganisms. Innate immunity also participates in orchestrating adaptive immunity.

  4. 2. Human vaginal epithelial immunity and influences of hormonal contraceptive usage

    Author : Anna Ildgruben; Nils Lycke; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : human vaginal epithelium; hormonal contraceptives; epithelial thickness; intraepithelial immune cells; steroid receptors; steroid hormones; defensins; obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : The vagina is the port of entry for sexually transmitted diseases in women. Its epithelium constitutes the luminal border, thus comprising an important defence barrier. READ MORE

  5. 3. Proteinase 3 and Neutrophil Apoptosis in ANCA-Associated Systemic Vasculitis

    Author : Mohamed AbdGawad; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wegener’s granulomatosis; anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody ANCA . Proteinase 3 PR3 ; myeloperoxidase MPO . Flowcytometry FACS . Vasculitis.; microscopic polyangitis;

    Abstract : ANCA-Associated Systemic Vasculitis (AASV) is characterized by leukocytoclasis- dying neutrophils surrounding small blood vessels. Previous studies have shown increased plasma PR3 and increased proportion of neutrophils expressing plasma membrane-associated PR3 (mPR3+). READ MORE

  6. 4. Defensins and cytokines in inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Arman Rahman; Mats Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) constitute the two major inflammatory bowel diseases in man. Both are serious chronic illnesses of the intestine with severe debilitating effects. The etiology of the diseases is unknown, but involvement of both adaptive and innate immune reactions seems to be major factors in the pathogenesis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Design Space Exploration of Digital Circuits for Ultra-low Energy Dissipation

    Author : Syed Muhammad Yasser Sherazi; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CMOS; ultra low-voltage; ultra low-energy; subthreshold sub-VT ; body biasing; pipelining; unfolding; half-band digital filter.;

    Abstract : The ever expanding market of ultra portable electronic products is compelling the designer to invest major efforts in the development of small and low energy electronic devices. The driving force and benefactors of such devices are (but not limited to) e-health system, sensor network applications, security systems, environmental applications, and home automation systems.
