  2. 1. Effects of Enterovirus Infection on Innate Immunity and Beta Cell Function in Human Islets of Langerhans

    Author : Oskar Skog; Gun Frisk; Olle Korsgren; Åke Lernmark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; Enterovirus; Coxsackievirus; Innate immunity; Pancreatic islets; Islet function; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on enteroviral effects on human pancreatic islets. Most knowledge of viral effects on host cells relies on studies of immortalized cell lines or animal models. The islets represent a fundamentally different and less well studied cellular host. Also, enterovirus has been implicated in the etiology of type 1 diabetes (T1D). READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of the human pancreas to understand the pathologic events leading to type 1 diabetes

    Author : Louise Granlund; Skog Oskar; Olle Korsgren; Marcus Lundberg; Per Andrén; Teresa Rodriguez-Calvo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreas; Type 1 Diabetes; Islets of Langerhans; Exocrine tissue; Acinar cells; Islet Microvasculature; Endocrine cells; Extra-islet cells; Insulin; Glucagon; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is classically described as a disease emanating from beta-cell loss, and as such, the beta cells have been the main target of investigation. However, recent years have witnessed a shift in perspective, with T1D being increasingly recognized as a condition that affects the entire pancreas. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characterization of the Pancreas in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

    Abstract : Diabetes is recognized by hyperglycaemia and polyuria. Complications, reduced quality of life and staggering health-care costs are all derived from the disease. Two subclasses of diabetes are Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of the Pancreas: Implications for Type 1 Diabetes Aetiology

    Author : Peter Seiron; Oskar Skog; Michele Solimena; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreas; Type 1 Diabetes; Insulitis; Beta cells; Immunology; Tissue resident memory T cells; Islets of Langerhans; Endocrinology and Diabetology; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease of severe insulin deficiency through loss of β cells in the endocrine pancreas. The T1D dogma maintains that a precipitating event unleashes autoimmunity in at-risk individuals, often measured through autoantibodies against β cell antigens. READ MORE

  7. 5. Transcriptional and morphological analysis of organ donor pancreata

    Author : Anton Stenwall; Oskar Skog; Lena Eliasson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreas; Diabetes; Islet of Langerhans; Beta-cell; Immunology; Inflammation; Ageing; Biology with specialization in Molecular Immunology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär immunologi;

    Abstract : The diabetes disease panorama affects more than 400 million people world wide – a number projected to rise above 640 million in the next 20 years. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are associated with adverse complications, resulting in severe morbidity and high healthcare costs exerting substantial strain on society. READ MORE
