  2. 16. Priming and activation of neutrophils from blood and tissue

    Author : Lisa Davidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophil; priming; gout; inflammation; transmigration; neutrophil extracellular traps NETs ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a powerful process, involved in many disease states, as well as in physiological situations. Neutrophils, the main characters of this thesis, are potent immune cells with the capacity to regulate inflammatory responses. In health, circulating blood neutrophils are regarded as quiescent, with limited responsiveness to stimuli. READ MORE

  4. 17. Regulation of neutrophil apoptosis

    Author : Maria Alvarado-Kristensson; Malmö Molekylär patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; General pathology; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi; PP2A; p38 MAPK; caspases; signal transduction; inflammation; Apoptosis; human neutrophils;

    Abstract : The human neutrophil is the most abundant granulocyte and the major type of cell involved in an acute inflammatory response. Neutrophils are armed with various systems of enzymes, that can find and kill pathogens, but unfortunately, these "weapons" cannot distinguish between the host tissues and the "invaders. READ MORE

  5. 18. Neutrophil phagocytosis and secretion : The role of calcium and the cytoskeleton

    Author : Lena Serrander; Joel D. Ernst; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Neutrophils assure rapid removal of bacteria by a variety of processes. They crawl out of the vessels, phagocytose the bacteria and kill them by secretion of bactericidal substances and production of oxidative metabolites. READ MORE

  6. 19. Towards a Refined Model of Neutrophil Motility

    Author : Vesa-Matti Loitto; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Tommy Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. PMNL; neutrophils; neutrophil motility; N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : The ability of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL; neutrophils), to sense and move to sites of infection is essential for our defense against pathogens. Cell motility is critically dependent on a dynamic remodeling of morphology. READ MORE

  7. 20. Inflammation and neutrophil recruitment in healing of colonic anastomosis

    Author : Peter Månsson; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; experimetnal; anastomotic healing; Inflammation; neutrophil redruitment; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Wound healing is a multistep process with an initial inflammatory response, followed by synthesis of extracellular matrix components and finalized by a repair phase. One main goal was to determine the impact and adhesive mechanisms of neutrophil recruitment in anastomotic healing in the colon. READ MORE
