  2. 1. Diversity of Skin Infections

    Author : Johanna Ekström; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papillomavirus; high-throughput sequencing; Staphylococcus auereus; multiple displacement amplification; non melanoma skin cancer;

    Abstract : The identification of infectious agents in cancer has been one of the most rewarding endeavors in cancer research. Currently about 20% of the global cancer burden is linked to an infection. A common characteristic of virus-induced cancer is an increased incidence in immunosuppressed patients, presumably because of impaired host control of virus. READ MORE

  4. 2. Infections in skin cancer

    Author : Laila Sara Arroyo Mühr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of skin cancer results in that it will soon equal that of all other cancers combined. Sun exposure is a well-known risk factor for its development, but despite the growing public awareness of the harmful consequences of ultraviolet radiation, the cancer incidence continues to increase, implying that other factors might also have a role in promoting this disease.

  7. 5. Studies of innate and adaptive lymphocytes in human liver diseases and viral infections

    Author : Christine Lea Zimmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immune system, including innate and adaptive lymphocytes, is involved in determining the outcome of many human diseases. Two lymphocyte subsets, natural killer (NK) cells and T cells, which are present in both peripheral blood and in tissues, will be further discussed in the context of acute and chronic viral infections and inflammatory liver diseases in this thesis.
