  2. 16. The role of anti-collagen type II antibodies in the pathogenesis and prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Vivek Anand Manivel; Johan Rönnelid; Arne Egesten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; Anti-collagen type II antibodies; HLADRB1*; Granulocytes; prognosis; ;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which affects 0.5-1% of the world population and is characterised by joint erosions and presence of the autoantibodies anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor. READ MORE

  4. 17. Nano-porous Alumina, a Potential Bone Implant Coating

    Author : Marjam Karlsson; Karin Caldwell; Mats Boman; Matteo Santin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; Nano-porous aluminium oxide; Biomaterial; Hard tissue implant; Surface topography; Osteoblast; Biocompatibility; Neutrophil; Inflammation; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a method of growing a highly adherent nano-porous alumina coating on titanium implant materials, a design which might be useful in hard tissue replacement. Alumina layers were formed by anodisation of aluminium, which had been deposited on titanium and titanium alloys by electron beam evaporation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Effects of a single prolonged milking interval in cows : study of indicators and mediators of inflammation, milk composition and yield

    Author : Branislav Lakic; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : A single prolonged milking interval (PMI), such as might be associated with technical failures in automatic milking systems, leads to a subsequent somatic cell count (SCC) peak in bulk tank milk. Increased SCC indicates mastitis in cows. READ MORE

  6. 19. Functional and structural characterization of integrins and their ligands ICAM-2, vitronectin and fibronectin in leukocytes

    Author : Rosalba Salcedo Amaya; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Leukocytes; Adhesion molecules; Integrins; ICAM-2; Vitronectin; Fibronectin.;

    Abstract : Transient adhesion of leukocytes to cells and extracellular matrices is a crucial process in leukocyte physiology. Cell surface adhesion molecules such as integrins and members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily are involved. READ MORE

  7. 20. Computer simulations of ribosome reactions

    Author : Stefan Trobro; Johan Åqvist; Arieh Warshel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; ribosomal termination; Empirical valence bond; peptidyl transfer; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Peptide bond formation and translational termination on the ribosome have been simulated by molecular mechanics, free energy perturbation, empirical valence bond (MD/FEP/EVB) and automated docking methods. Recent X-ray crystallographic data is used here to calculate the entire free energy surface for the system complete with substrates, ribosomal groups, solvent molecules and ions. READ MORE
