  2. 1. Cancer and Inflammation : Role of Macrophages and Monocytes

    Author : Alexander Hedbrant; Jonny Wijkander; Dick Delbro; Ann Erlandsson; Anita Sjölander; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; M1 macrophages; M2 macrophages; colon cancer; lung cancer; prostaglandin E2; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Macrophages are cells of the innate immune system that can be found in large quantities in cancer tumors and affect cancer progression by regulating growth and invasiveness of cancer cells. There are two main phenotypes of macrophages denoted M1 and M2. READ MORE

  4. 2. Macrophage programming and host responses to bacterial infection

    Author : Xiao Wang; Hong Sjölinder; Martin Rottenberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Macrophages; meningococci; mycobacteria; NhhA; CD46; cytokines; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Macrophages are dynamic, plastic, and heterogeneous immune cells that play an important role in host immune defense against bacterial infection. Various bacterial pathogens, such as Neisseria meningitidis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can modulate host immune responses by interfering with macrophage differentiation and polarization.

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide with approximately 1.150.000 new cases each year and accounting for over 400.000 deaths per year. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional properties of galectin-3. Beyond the sugar binding

    Author : Adriana Lepur; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; galectin-3; galectin-1; M1 macrophage; M2 macrophage; self-association; fluorescence anisotropy; citrus pectin; galactomannane;

    Abstract : Contemporary diseases like diabetes, asthma, atherosclerosis etc. are marked by chronic inflammation, often supported by the activity of different macrophages. Proteins from galectin family were found to contribute to disease pathophysiology. Therefore, there is an intensive interest in understanding different galectin functions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Eicosanoids and exosomes : a link between macrophages and lung cancer

    Author : Ana Lukic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic inflammation increases the risk of lung cancer. Macrophages (MO) are important players in inflammation, with regulatory and executive functions. Eicosanoids and exosomes can be both triggers and mediators of these functions. READ MORE
