  2. 1. Laboratory Soft X-Ray Cryo Microscopy: Source, System and Bio Applications

    Author : Emelie Fogelqvist; Hans Hertz; David Attwood; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray microscopy; X-ray optics; Instrumentation; Laser plasma; Cryofixation; Tomography; Tomographic reconstruction; Autophagy; Immune synapse; Physics; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Soft x-ray microscopes routinely perform high-resolution 3D imaging of biological cells in their near-native environment with short exposure times at synchrotron radiation facilities. Some laboratory-sized microscopes are aiming to make this imaging technique more accessible to a wider scientific community. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genetic predisposition to immune cell malfunction and inflammation

    Author : Lamberto J Torralba-Raga; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Our genome contains all the instructions to control the synthesis of proteins, the development of cells and the interaction between body systems. We are armed with an immune system, made up of cells, chemical compounds and physical barriers, that protects us from invading pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 3. Single cell studies of natural killer cell immune surveillance

    Author : Elin Forslund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Our immune system protects us from microbes such as viruses, bacteria and parasitic worms. The immune system also plays a key role in fighting cancer and in carrying out a function termed ‘immune surveillance’, natural killer (NK) cells patrol tissues and participate in the elimination of transformed cells and established tumors.

  6. 4. Regulation of NK cell activity : studies of DAP12-associated receptors in immune synapse formation and in responses to cytomegalovirus infection

    Author : Hanna Sjölin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NK cells; DAP12; MCMV Cytokines; Receptors; Signaling; packages;

    Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cell effector functions are important for innate resistance against tumor cells and viral infections. NK cells display a broad range of inhibitory and activating receptors on the cell surface, which ensure specificity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Calmodulin mediated regulation of NF-kappaB in lymphocytes

    Author : Sofia Edin; Thomas Grundström; Sam Okret; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; calcium; CaM; CaMKII; NF-kappaB; Bc110; immunological synapse; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : NF-κB transcription factors are regulators of a wide spectrum of genes involved in immune responses and inflammation as well as cellular proliferation and survival. Transcriptionally competent NF-κB dimers are retained in the cytoplasm of resting cells by binding to inhibitors of NF-κB (IκBs). READ MORE
