  2. 21. A Study of Eosinophils – From the Human Thymus to Eosinophilic Esophagitis

    Author : Sofie Albinsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Eosinophil; Eosinophilic esophagitis; Galectin-10; Human; Patient-reported outcome; T cell; Thymocyte; Thymus;

    Abstract : Eosinophils are cells of the innate immune system. They primarily reside within tissues and are most numerous in the gastrointestinal tract but are absent from the healthy esophagus. During the inflammatory disease eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophils infiltrate the esophagus but their function is unknown. READ MORE

  4. 22. Recognition requirements and regulatory events directing T cell responses

    Author : Martin Gullberg; Eva-Lotta Larsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; T cell growth factor production; Lyt-2-positive T suppressor cell; Lyt-2-positive cytotoxic T lymphocytes; activation requirements of T lymphocytes; blocking of T cell functions;

    Abstract : The present study has considered cellular and molecular requirements in T cell responses. The central role of T cell growth factors (TCGF) in T cell responses prompted us to study the regulatory events directing TCGF production in lectin stimulated cultures. READ MORE

  5. 23. Host-parasite interactions in space and time

    Author : Franziska Hildebrandt; Johan Ankarklev; Volker T. Heussler; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : The recent emergence of a number of new viral diseases as well as the re-emergence of tuberculosis (TB), indicate an urgent need for new drugs against viral and bacterial infections.Coronavirus nsp1 has been shown to induce suppression of host gene expression and interfere with host immune response.

  7. 25. Computational modelling in systems biology: from rewriting cell fates to detecting tumours

    Author : Emil Andersson; Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC); []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Beräkningsmodeller; Systembiologi; Genreguleringsnätverk; Cellomprogrammering; Energilandskap; iPSC; Agentbaserad modellering; T-cellsutveckling; Maskininlärning; Tumördiagnostik; Computational modelling; Systems biology; Gene regulatory network; Cell reprogramming; Energy landscape; iPSC; Agent-based modelling; Multi-scale modelling; T-cell development; Machine learning; Tumour diagnostics;

    Abstract : Computational modelling is becoming an increasingly important tool in biological research. By performing computer simulations of models, it becomes possible to test theories about a biological system against experimental data. Simulations can also be used as a replacement for experiments otherwise unattainable. READ MORE
