2. 1. Metabolomic features and viral infections in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease

   Author : Niklas Nyström; Jonas Halfvarson; Kjell Alving; Yigael Finkel; Ignacio Catalan Serra; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; Crohn s disease; ulcerative colitis; pediatric; metabolomics; lipidomics; enterovirus; coxsackievirus; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Internal Medicine; Internmedicin;

   Abstract : Background: Up to 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease have a paediatric onset (PIBD). The pathophysiological processes underlying PIBD are complex and largely unknown.  Aims: To investigate a hypothesized role for human enterovirus B (HEV-B) in Crohn’s disease (CD) (I). READ MORE

4. 2. Infection, early entry events and replication processes of picornaviruses

   Author : Helena Vandesande; A. Michael Lindberg; Jorma Hinkula; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Picornavirus; enterovirus; cardiovirus; echovirus; rhinovirus; coxsackievirus B; Saffold virus; early entry; replication; gastroenteritis; aseptic meningitis.; Virology; Virologi;

   Abstract : The Picornaviridae is a large and diverse family of small RNA viruses, several of which have exhibited a distinct clinical and socioeconomic impact on human society. While many infections are asymptomatic, some members of this virus family have the potential to cause severe disease, including, but not limited to, poliomyelitis, myocarditis, meningitis, and foot-and-mouth disease.

5. 3. Reverse genetic studies of Enterovirus replication

   Author : Anna Sävneby; A. Michael Lindberg; Björn Andersson; Peter Gierow; Jonas Waldenström; Martin Ryan; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Enterovirus; picornavirus; coxsackievirus; echovirus; rhinovirus; reverse genetics; replication; translation; transfection; cassette vector.; Virology; Virologi;

   Abstract : Enteroviruses belong to the Picornaviridae family and are small icosahedral viruses with RNA genomes of positive polarity, containing a single open reading frame. They mostly cause mild or asymptomatic infections, but also a wide array of diseases including: poliomyelitis, encephalitis, gastroenteritis, aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, hepatitis and respiratory diseases, ranging from severe infections to the common cold.

6. 4. Host-microbe interactions in coxsackievirus infection : focus on innate immunity

   Author : Michael Hühn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Coxsackievirus group B (CVB) is a common virus that usually causes only mild symptoms in humans. However, occasionally these infections result in severe diseases like meningitis, myocarditis and pancreatitis. READ MORE

7. 5. Interferons in antiviral defense and autoimmunity : focus on type 1 diabetes

   Author : Monica Hultcrantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Type 1 diabetes; interferons; islets of Langerhans; Coxsackievirus; nonobese diabetic mouse;

   Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease characterized by the loss of insulin producing beta-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Interferons (IFNs), produced by immune cells and infected parenchymal cells, may be protective or damaging in the pathogenesis of T1D. READ MORE
