  2. 16. Biomarkers in chronic and experimental human muscle pain

    Author : Sofia Louca Jounger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : 5-HT;

    Abstract : The main aim of this thesis was to improve the knowledge ofthe peripheral mechanisms that may participate in the underlying pathophysiology of chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) myalgia i.e. pain that is experienced locally in the jaw muscles and has myofascial trigger points.

  4. 17. Bone Development and the Nervous System

    Author : Gregor Sisask; Olof Nilsson; Anders Bjurholm; Kenneth B Jonsson; André Stark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Innervation of bone influence bone modeling, growth and remodeling. Pro-inflammatory cytokines released after tissue trauma are recognized as neurotrophic factors as well as factors influencing bone formation. The Wnt signaling pathway, essential for cell migration during embryogenesis is found to influence bone formation during fracture healing. READ MORE

  5. 18. Cytokine regulation of pancreatic -cell function with special reference to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes

    Author : Johnny Sternesjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; Diabetes; pancreatic islets; insulin secretion; cytokines; nitric oxide; streptozotocin; NOD mice; proteasome; nuclear factor-kappaB; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Abstract : Cytokines produced by inflammatory cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. The overall aim of the present work was to test how different cytokines, supposed to be present in the insulitic lesion, could influence the function of islets of Langerhans. READ MORE

  6. 19. Effects of inflammatory mediators on human osteoblasts

    Author : Anders Frost; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Abstract : Inflammatory mediators produced in or adjacent to bone have implications on bone and may induce both osteolysis and/or osteosclerosis. Inflammatory cytokines mediate these effects by acting either directly or indirectly on the bone cells. READ MORE

  7. 20. Cytokine studies in the generation and treatment of IgE-mediated allergy

    Author : Ankie Söderlund; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytokines; Hypersensitivity; Allergy; Allergi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : So called Th2 cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-13 are responsible for the formation of IgE antibodies, the effector antibody in atopic allergy. Cytokines of Th1 type, for example IFN-g, inhibit these responses. This thesis describes work aimed at elucidating the cytokine production underlying IgE-mediated allergy. READ MORE
