  2. 16. Ecology and evolution in a host-parasitoid system : Host search, immune responses and parasitoid virulence

    Author : Lisa Fors; Peter Hambäck; Wertheim Bregje; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Host-parasitoid interactions; Plant-herbivore interactions; Host search; Volatiles; Pheromones; Geographic variation; Cellular defence; Melanisation; Encapsulation; Asecodes; Galerucella; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Abstract : In host-parasitoid systems, there is a continuous coevolutionary arms race where each species imposes a strong selection pressure on the other. The host needs to develop defence strategies in order to escape parasitism and the parasitoid must evolve counter-defence strategies in order to overcome the host’s immune defence and successfully reproduce.

  4. 17. Parasite antigens and cellular interactions associated with the membrane of Plasmidium falciparum infected erythrocytes

    Author : Wipaporn Ruangjirachuporn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The asexual erythrocytic stages of malaria parasites are the cause of the pathological manifestations of the disease, Plasmodium falciparum being the species notorious for causing serious complications. This thesis describes studies on parasite-host cell interactions at two different stages of the P. READ MORE

  5. 18. The importance of psychological and physical stressors on diabetes-related immunity in a young population – an interdisciplinary approach

    Author : Emma Carlsson; Maria Faresjö; Arne Gerdner; Anneli Frostell; Kristina Lejon; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; psychological stressors; physical stressors; cellular immune system; type 1 diabetes; young population;

    Abstract : Background: The prevalence of immunological disorders such as type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasingly common amongst children, adolescents and young adults. There is also an increase in psychosomatic symptoms (depression, insomnia, anxiety, headaches and fatigue etc. READ MORE

  6. 19. Interaction between crayfish and some microorganisms; Effect of temperature

    Author : Gül Gizem Korkut; Chadanat Noonin; Kenneth Söderhäll; Javier Diéguez Uribeondo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Innate immunity, which constitutes the first line of defense in vertebrates, is the only immune system that invertebrates rely on to protect themselves from pathogens. The invertebrate immune system is composed of cellular and humoral components. Cellular immunity is phagocytosis, opsonization and encapsulation. READ MORE

  7. 20. The Drosophila POU/Oct factors: multifaceted proteins

    Author : Priya Gohel; Ylva Engström; Mariana Wolfner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; POU Oct factors; transcriptional regulation; innate immunity; developmental processes; mitotic spindles; chromosome segregation; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Dysregulation of physiological and cellular processes underlies various pathological conditions, including cancer and inflammatory disorders. Unraveling the molecular mechanisms driving these processes is crucial. READ MORE
