  2. 11. Transmigration of Toxoplasma gondii across biological barriers

    Author : Emily C. Ross; Antonio Barragan; Ildiko Rita Dunay; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Apicomplexa; blood-brain barrier; leukocyte; immune cell; transendothelial migration; cell adhesion molecule; host-pathogen; FAK; integrin; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can likely infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, with estimates of up to 30% of the global human population being infected. Although infection with T. gondii is usually asymptomatic or mild, in immunocompromised individuals infection can lead to lethal toxoplasmic encephalitis. READ MORE

  4. 12. Human dendritic cells : a study of early events during pathogen recognition and antigen endocytosis

    Author : Peter Hellman; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dendritic cells; zeolites;

    Abstract : The mononuclear phagocyte cell system includes monocytes, macrophages anddendritic cells which are important cells in order to recognize, ingest, destroyand also present part of a pathogen to T-lymphocytes in order to activate theadaptive immune system. Dendritic cells (DCs) stand out in their ability tostimulate T-lymphocytes and are also believed to be important to keeptolerance for “self-antigens”. READ MORE

  5. 13. The effects of growth hormone on opioid-induced toxicity in vitro

    Author : Erik Nylander; Mathias Hallberg; Alexis Bailey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth hormone; opioids; methadone; morphine; ketobemidone; fentanyl; oxycodone; hydromorphone; insulin-like growth factor; cell viability; NG108-15; SH-SY5Y; hippocampus; cortex; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : There is an ongoing opioid crisis in the United States that is portrayed by a large number of opioid-related deaths. Many of these cases involve commonly used prescription opioids, such as morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and methadone. This is concerning and highlights the problems associated with long-term opioid treatment. READ MORE

  6. 14. Regulation of B cell function by plasmacytoid dendritic cells

    Author : Cornelia Gujer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Dendritic cell;

    Abstract : Dendritic cells (DCs) are early sentinels of pathogen exposure and central in the initiation and orchestration of adaptive immune responses. Apart from the prominent role of DCs in the activation of T cells, DCs have been shown to influence humoral B cell mediated responses. READ MORE

  7. 15. Dissection of the tonsillar cancer immune microenvironment : Perspectives of the myeloid APC – T-cell axis

    Author : David Gomez Jimenez; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dendritic cell; Macrophage; CD8 T-cell; Human papillomavirus HPV ; Tonsillar cancer; Tumor microenvironment; Immuno-oncology; Single-cell RNA sequencing; Spatial proteomics; Flow Cytometry;

    Abstract : Tonsillar cancer (TC) is a subset of head and neck cancer (HNC). TC incidence is sharply rising due to an increased prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the western world. Currently HPV status is considered during clinical staging due to its positive association to patient prognosis. READ MORE
