6. Inflammation and cell migration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Abstract : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth most common cause of death worldwide, is characterised by chronic airflow obstruction and chronic inflammation which affects large and, especially, small airways. There is an accumulation of inflammatory cells in the airways in COPD, in particular neutrophils, macrophages and CD8+ T-cells. READ MORE

7. Chemokines and their role in dopaminergic development
Abstract : The main pathological hallmark in Parkinson s disease (PD) is the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), affecting movements such as walking, talking and writing. Today, there is no cure available for PD and existing treatments only provide symptomatic relief, but the prospect of using stem cell based cell replacement therapies for patients with PD have provided new optimism.

8. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis
Abstract : Periodontitis is one of the most common adult infections. Duing bacteremia in healthy individuals or patients with chronic periodontitis, a number of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis encounter inflammatory cells in the blood eg. platelets, neutrophils and monocytes.

9. Febrile Urinary Tract Infection: P fimbriae, Innate Host Response and Bacteremia
Abstract : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common human infections, and febrile UTI with bacteremia the most severe form. The relation between bacteria and host decides disease severity. The dominating uropathogen is Escherichia coli (E. coli). READ MORE

10. Innate immune airway responses after exposure to ultrafine and ambient particles : in vivo and in vitro models
Abstract : Inhalation of ultrafine and ambient particles in the air triggers a response in the innate immune system of the airways. This thesis explores measures to reduce exposure to organic dust, to dampen the adverse immune effects of chronic organic swine dust exposure and develop a refined in vitro bronchial mucosa model to reduce in vivo toxicity testing on humans and animals.
