  2. 1. Endogenous and microbial modulators of inflammation

    Author : Jamie D. Kraft; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammation; Resolution; Specialized pro-resolving mediators; Lipoxins; Neutrophils; Cardiometabolic disease; Next-generation probiotic; Oxygen-tolerance; Faecalibacterium prausnitzii; Desulfovibrio piger; Inter-strain variation;

    Abstract : Cardiometabolic disease is characterized by dysregulated, chronic inflammation, that may result from impaired resolution pathways or alterations in the gut microbiota. Thus, restoring specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) or intestinal bacteria with immunomodulatory properties represent potential therapeutic strategies for patients. READ MORE

    Abstract : Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most feared complication of diabetes with an overall prevalence of 21.9-36.8% and may, if untreated, lead to severe visual disability or blindness. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glucocorticoid receptors in severe inflammation : Experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Maria Bergquist; Göran Hedenstierna; Christian Rylander; Catharina Lindholm; Cecile Martijn; Djillali Annane; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glucocorticoid receptor; sepsis; inflammation; flow cytometry; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Septic shock is one of the most common causes of mortality in intensive care, in spite of antibiotic treatment. Glucocorticoid treatment can be used to blunt an overwhelming immune response in severe inflammation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterization of Pleiotropic Activities of alpha1-Antitrypsin

    Author : Caroline Sandström; Enheten för kroniska inflammatoriska och degenerativa sjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammation; alpha1-Antitrypsin deficiency; alpha1-Antitrypsin;

    Abstract : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lung parenchyma that involves the influx of inflammatory, structural cells and mediators. The inflammatory process resulting in lung tissue destruction, emphysema, includes the excess of uninhibited proteases released from inflammatory cells. READ MORE
