  2. 1. Microbe-induced apoptosis in phagocytic cells and its role in innate immunity

    Author : Robert Blomgran; Olle Stendahl; Limin Zheng; Boris Zhivotovsky; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; apoptosis; cell death; inflammation; innate immunity; microbiology; neutrophil; macrophage; phagocyte; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a controlled process by which aged or damages cells are eliminated in multicellular organisms. Neutrophils, short-lived phagocytes of the innate immune system, are highly equipped effectors that can sense, locate, ingest and kill bacterial pathogens. READ MORE

  4. 2. Endothelial activation and inflammation in the tumor microenvironment

    Author : Hua Huang; Anna Dimberg; William C. Aird; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tumor angiogenesis; endothelial activation; leukocyte recruitment; VEGF-A; αB-crystallin; ELTD1;

    Abstract : Tumors are composed not only of malignant cells, but also of various types of normal cells, including vascular cells and infiltrating immune cells, which drive tumor development and progression. The tumor vasculature is abnormal and dysfunctional due to sustained tumor angiogenesis driven by high levels of pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Innate immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection : How extracellular traps and trained immunity can restrict bacterial growth

    Author : Clara Braian; Maria Lerm; Olle Stendahl; Parasa Venkata Ramanarao; Nordenfelt Pontus; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the cause of 1.5 million deaths in 2018. During a pulmonary TB infection, the bacterium reaches the lungs and is phagocytosed by cells of the innate immune system, primarily macrophages. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular Regulation of Inflammation and Angiogenesis in the Tumor Microenvironment

    Author : Lothar Dieterich; Anna Dimberg; Lena Claesson-Welsh; Jonas Fuxe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stroma; glioma; alphaB-crystallin; HSPB5; cryab; myeloid cells; Morphology; cell biology; pathology; Morfologi; cellbiologi; patologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Tumor growth and progression not only depend on properties of the malignant cells but are strongly influenced by the tumor microenvironment. The tumor stroma consists of various cell types such as inflammatory cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts, which can either inhibit or promote tumor growth. READ MORE

  7. 5. The role of periodontitis in cardiovascular disease

    Author : Kåre Buhlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Periodontitis; cardiovascular disease; risk factor; inflammation; epidemiology; oral health; questionnaire; self-assessment.;

    Abstract : Periodontitis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are both common diseases affecting a large part of the society. Both diseases are considered to have a chronic inflammatory origin. During the last decades research has focused on a possible link between them. READ MORE
