  2. 11. Transport of sodium and protons in the human placenta. Mechanisms in normal pregnancy and alterations in intrauterine growth restriction

    Author : Martin Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; placenta; Na K ATPase; Na H exchanger; H K ATPase; intrauterine growth restriction; BeWo cells; epithelial transport;

    Abstract : The syncytiotrophoblast cell of the human placenta represents the interface between maternal and fetal blood supplies. This polarized epithelium consists of a maternal facing microvillous membrane (MVM) opposing a fetal facing basal membrane (BM). This unique syncytial cell is responsible for transfer of all nutrients to the developing fetus. READ MORE

  4. 12. Effect of quinoline-3-carboxamides on myeloid cells in inflammation and cancer

    Author : Adnan Deronic; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quinoline-3-carboxamide; myeloid cell; inflammation; cancer; peritonitis; mammary carcinoma; fibrosis;

    Abstract : The quinoline-3-carboxamides (Q compounds) are a family of small molecules that ameliorate various types of murine inflammatory autoimmune disease. One such compound has also demonstrated anti-tumor effects in murine tumor models. READ MORE

  5. 13. Host epithelium integrity in the female reproductive tract during Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection

    Author : Linda Weyler; Helena Aro; Lene Rasmussen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Female reproductive tract; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; VK2 E6E7 cells; DNA damage; cell cycle; mitosis; restriction endonucleases; infection models; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are asymptomatic in approximately fifty percent of the affected women. Left untreated, this can develop into a long-term inflammatory state with detrimental secondary complications such as ectopic pregnancy and sterility. Furthermore, studies have shown that N.

  6. 14. Plasmonics with a Twist: from Single Particles to Metasurfaces

    Author : Robin Ogier; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; colloidal lithography; localized surface plasmons; circularly polarized light; metsurfaces; nanofabrication; chirality; optical trapping;

    Abstract : Nanophotonics deals with how electromagnetic fields can be confined and squeezed to orders of dimensions below the light wavelength. Plasmonics, one of the fields of nanophotonics, study collective free electron oscillations driven by light in metallic nanostructures and interfaces. READ MORE

  7. 15. War and peace in the tumor microenvironment : tumor-associated cells as facilitators or adversaries during tumor development

    Author : Margarita Bartish; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The tumor microenvironment, including immune cells, fibroblasts and vasculature, profoundly affects tumor development by initially opposing, but eventually facilitating tumor growth, vascularization and spread. Though corrupted by the growing tumor, such cells remain non-transformed and thus, with proper cues, are possible to direct toward their physiological anti-tumor function. READ MORE
