2. 1. Revealing the secrets of MARCO : a target for cancer immunotherapy

   Author : Silke Eisinger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Our immune system protects us from infectious agents and sustains the homeostasis in our body. However, the immune system can also play a role in initiation and progression of diseases such as autoimmune diseases and cancer. Cancer is still one of the leading causes for death worldwide and inflammation became one of the hallmarks of cancer. READ MORE

4. 2. Links Between Structure and Function of Heterotrophic Aquatic Bacterial Communities

   Author : Silke Langenheder; Lars Tranvik; Eva Lindström; David Kirchman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; heterotrophic bacteria; dissolved organic matter; diversity; community composition; ecosystem functioning; salinity; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Abstract : Heterotrophic bacteria utilize dissolved organic matter, and the carbon flow through an ecosystem depends on the fractions of the utilized carbon that is either respired or transferred to higher trophic levels. The major aim this thesis is to investigate 1) the relationship between composition and functioning in heterotrophic bacterioplankton communities and 2) the influence of environmental conditions on both parameters.

5. 3. Assembly Mechanisms in Aquatic Bacterial Communities : The Role of Disturbances, Dispersal and History

   Author : Mercè Berga Quintana; Silke Langenheder; Eva Lindström; Örjan Östman; Mathew Leibold; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diversity; community composition; metacommunity;

   Abstract : Environmental conditions, biotic interactions, dispersal and history have been suggested to be important processes influencing the spatial distribution of organisms and thus to affect community assembly. Understanding how these processes influence community assembly is important, particularly because community diversity and composition are suggested to be relevant for ecosystem functioning.

6. 4. Theoretical Studies of Magnetism and Electron Correlation in Solids

   Author : Oscar Grånäs; Lars Nordström; Biplab Sanyal; Silke Biermann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetism; Superconductivity; Electron Correlation; DMFT; DFT; Actinides; multipoles; hidden order; magnetic anisotropy; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

   Abstract : This work presents new development and applications of ab-initio simulation tools for material science. Focus lies on materials with strong electronic correlation and strong spin-orbit coupling. READ MORE

7. 5. Functions and memory features of adaptive- and innate immune cells in physiological and inflammatory settings

   Author : Gintare Lasaviciute; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Silke Appel; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Innate immune memory; Limosilactobacillus reuteri; dendritic cells; lymphocytes; cytokines; immunological memory; intestinal epithelial cells; chemotherapy; bone marrow; secondary lymphoid organs; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : The immune system is a complex but well-regulated network which cooperates with the microbiota to maintain optimal homeostasis under physiological settings. A number of factors display the capacity to alter the immune system and thus microbiota crosstalk including host genetics, diet, environmental influences and drugs such as antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.
