2. Clinical and experimental studies in corticosteroid contact allergy
Abstract : Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative substances that also can induce sensitization, mainly through skin contact. In a sensitized individual, it can be hard to disclose the contact allergy at patch testing because the anti-inflammatory effect may mask the allergic contact reaction. READ MORE

3. Expression of cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides in man and rat
Abstract : Endogenous antimicrobial peptides are effectors of innate immunity. They kill microorganisms by disrupting their cell membranes, but are also believed to have signaling functions in the immune system. They are present in epithelia, secretions and phagocytic cells. READ MORE

4. Whole grain and the gut-brain axis : The role of microbiota composition, dietary fiber, and metabolites
Abstract : Whole grain (WG) is rich in dietary fiber, other nutrients, and phytochemicals, and has potential effects on the brain through the gut-brain axis and non-microbiotarelated routes. This thesis explored the interplay between gut microbiota, dietary fiber, and microbiota-derived metabolites during in vitro fermentation of WG oat bread, WG rye bread, and refined bread. READ MORE

5. Role of antimicrobial peptides in combating shigellosis and in antibiotic-associated diarrhea
Abstract : Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute front-line components of innate immunity in multicellular organisms. AMPs are able to kill a wide range of pathogens and exhibit additional important functions such as chemotaxis, angiogenesis and wound healing. These peptides are constitutively expressed in immune and/or epithelial cells. READ MORE
