  2. 1. Intestinal dendritic cell migration and induction of T cell responses

    Author : Karin Hägerbrand; Adaptivt immunförsvar; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The intestine represents the body’s largest surface exposed to the outer world and is thus a major entry site for pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. The intestinal immune system has the important task of protecting us against infection while maintaining tolerance against the vast amount of commensal microbes populating the intestinal tract and the multitude of foreign antigen present in the diet.

  4. 2. Requirements for the Induction of Adaptive Immune Responses to Rotavirus

    Author : Joy Nakawesi; Virusrekognition; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rotavirus; classical dendritic cells; Lymphoid organ hypertrophy; B cells; IgA; Retinoic acid; CD8 T cells; TLR3 and Poly I:C ;

    Abstract : Rotavirus (RV) infections remain the leading cause of world-wide diarrhea-associated morbidity and mortality among children 200,000 deaths annually mostly in the low-income countries of Africa and Asia. Efficient clearance of the primary RV infection and protection from future re-infections is mediated by adaptive immune responses. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analysis, Modeling and Control of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators for Wind Turbines

    Author : Andreas Petersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the analysis, modeling, and control of the doubly-fed induction machine used as a wind turbine generator. The energy efficiency of wind turbine systems equipped with doubly-fed induction generators are compared to other wind turbine generator systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Induction and repair of clustered DNA damage sites after exposure to ionizing radiation

    Author : Andris Abramenkovs; Bo Stenerlöw; Peter O'Neill; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NHEJ; DSB repair; clustered DNA damage; DNA repair; DNA-PKcs; HSCS; Ra-223; ionizing radiation; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The mechanisms that maintain genomic stability safeguard cells from constant DNA damage produced by endogenous and external stressors. Therefore, this thesis aimed to specifically address questions regarding the requirement and involvement of DNA repair proteins in the repair of various types of radiation-induced DNA damage.

  7. 5. On the role of different signal transduction pathways in induction of apoptosis by anticancer drugs

    Author : Maria Berndtsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Anticancer drug treatment gives rise to complex cellular responses in tumor cells. An improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying these responses is important in order to improve treatment. It is also of importance to investigate novel mechanisms of drug action that could potentially represent new concepts for treatment. READ MORE
