  4. 2. Aspects of T cell development contributing to autoimmunity

    Author : Maria Carlsén; Diabetes - immunovirologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; FTOC; T cell development; Type 1 diabetes; p53; Insulin; NOD; Negative selection; TGF-β; Tolerance; Thymus; Conditional cre lox knock out; Autoimmunity;

    Abstract : Autoimmunity, such as type 1 diabetes (T1D), arises as a result of tolerance breakdown against host tissues, i.e. the β-cells. Central tolerance is established during thymic T cell development and defects in key events during this process could contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glucocorticoid in T cell differentiation

    Author : Yintong Xue; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thymocytes differentiate into mature T cells with an immunological restriction for self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. Cells that do not recognize self MHC expressed on thymic epithelial cells (TEC) die by a rapid induction of apoptosis (default selection). READ MORE

  6. 4. Engineered Alcohol Dehydrogenases for Stereoselective Chemical Transformations

    Author : Thilak Reddy Enugala; Mikael Widersten; Manfred T. Reetz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alcohol dehydrogenase-A; biocatalysts; protein engineering; enzyme kinetics; sec-alcohols; ketones; stereoselectivity; regioselectivity; substrate selectivity and promiscuity.; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Enzymes are biomolecules built from amino acids and catalyze the chemical transformations in a cell. Enzymes are by nature stereoselective, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and can perform catalysis in aqueous solutions and at ambient temperatures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling T helper cell activation and development

    Author : Andreas Jansson; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; T cells; mathematical models; differentiation; computer simulation; mathematical models; cellular signal transduction; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Natural sciences; Naturvetenskap; Technology; Teknik;

    Abstract : T helper (Th) cell activation and development is one of the most critical events in regulating the adaptive immune response. Understanding its regulation could be of great therapeutical value as many severe diseases are associated with failure in controlling T cell activation and development. READ MORE
