  2. 1. Cytokines in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis. For better for worse

    Author : Olof H. Hultgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; septic arthritis; sepsis; cytokines; IL-4; IL-12; TNF; LTa; IFN-g.;

    Abstract : Septic arthritis is an inflammatory condition in joints caused by in situ residing bacteria accompanied by a septic reaction. Bacteria reach their target via the blood stream and the major human pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. READ MORE

  4. 2. Candidate Genes for Late Diabetic Complications

    Author : Eero Lindholm; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TNF; sekretion; LTA; Endocrinology; nephropathy; diabetes mellitus; retinopathy; neuropathy; genetic; UCP; diabetologi; AGER; MHc2TA; HLA-DQB1; Endokrinologi; secreting systems; diabetology;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The new WHO criteria for classification of diabetes takes into account also clinical stages dividing the diabetic patients into noninsulin requiring (NIR), insulin requiring for control (IRC) and insulin requiring for survival (IRS) subgroups.

  5. 3. Multiscale Modeling of Molecular Sieving in LTA-type Zeolites : From the Quantum Level to the Macroscopic

    Author : Amber Mace; Laaksonen Aatto; Tina Düren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CO2 separation; carbon capture; kinetic sieving; Zeolite A; Zeolite NaKA; cation exchange; temporal coarse graining; Kinetic Monte Carlo; Molecular Dynamics; AIMD; DFT; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : LTA-type zeolites with narrow window apertures coinciding with the approximate size of small gaseous molecules such as CO2 and N2 are interesting candidates for adsorbents with swing adsorption technologies due to their molecular sieving capabilities and otherwise attractive properties. These sieving capabilities are dependent on the energy barriers of diffusion between the zeolite pores, which can be fine-tuned by altering the framework composition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Intracellular regulation of TLR signaling Basic mechanisms and importance in intestinal inflammation

    Author : Martin Berglund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TLR IL-1R signalling; Gαi2- - mice; IRAK; peritoneal macrophages; cross-tolerance; dextran sulfate sodium; IBD;

    Abstract : Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize conserved structures on/in microorganisms. The intracellular signalling pathways of TLRs are shared with IL-1R and IL-18R and their activation leads to transcription of proinflammatory cytokines and type-I interferons. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 in hematological malignancies

    Author : Gudmundur Runarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : LTB 4; 5-LO; cPLA 2; iPLA 2; AML; B-ALL; B-CLL;

    Abstract : Leukotrienes (LT) are biologically active metabolites of the fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA). After liberation of AA by phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2), this fatty acid can be converted to leukotrienes, lipoxins, prostaglandins or thromboxane. The conversion of AA to LTA 4 is catalyzed by five-lipoxygenase (5-LO). READ MORE
