    Abstract : Increased possibilities during the last decades for early detection of prostate cancer have sparked research on preventable or treatable risk factors and on improvements in therapy. Treatments of the disease still entail significant side effects potentially affecting men during the rest of their lives. READ MORE

  4. 2. Inflammation and host-microbe signaling in the development and progression of colorectal carcinoma

    Author : Yinghui Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Gut microbiota play an integral role in the postnatal development and maturation of the intestinal epithelium as well as the innate and adaptive immune system. Gut microbes communicate to the host via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which regulate intestinal homeostasis during health and disease. READ MORE

  5. 3. Occupational exposure alters innate and adaptive immune responses

    Author : Karin Sahlander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The farming environment is contaminated with high levels of organic dust. Especially pig barn facilities are highly polluted with airborne inhalable organic dust containing high amounts of molecular patterns from bacteria and fungi known to activate cells of the innate immunity through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).

    Abstract : Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex disorder with multiple pathophysiological processes contributing to the initiation, progression and development of the disease state. AUD is a chronic relapsing disease with escalation of alcohol-intake over time in repeated cycles of tolerance, abstinence and relapse and hence, it is very difficult to treat. READ MORE

  7. 5. Developmental role and ligand binding properties of macrophage scavenger receptor MARCO

    Author : Yunying Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Macrophages express several cell surface receptors, that mediate the recognition of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous ligands. In this manner, macrophages are able to perform their multiple biological functions in regulation of homeostasis and host defense. READ MORE
