2. 1. Macrophages in Crohn's Disease: lnnate immune cellular and molecular mechanisms driving intestinal inflammation and fibrosis

   Author : Frida Gorreja; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; macrophages; inflammatory macrophages; tissue-resident macrophages; efferocytosis; innate immunity; myeloid cells; fibroblasts; fibrosis; inflammasomes; Crohn´s disease; inflammatory bowel diseases; digestive diseases; mucosa immunology; intestinal immunity; intestinal inflammation; serum systemic inflammation; microbiota; metabolites;

   Abstract : Macrophages and their interactions with the lamina propria and luminal microenvi-ronment are crucial in the pathogenesis of Crohn´s disease (CD), a chronic inflamma-tory disease with a strong inflammatory innate immune involvement. Therefore, in-terpreting macrophage activity in the intestinal microenvironment may identify treatment targets beneficial for at least a subgroup of patients. READ MORE

5. 3. Impact of the gut microflora on the digestive system in the suckling rat

   Author : Frida Fåk; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; probiotics; prebiotics; antibiotics; lactobacilli; bacteria; intestinal permeability; Small intestine; maturation; weaning; suckling;

   Abstract : The postnatal development of the gastrointestinal (GI) system in mammals is genetically programmed, but is, to an unknown extent, regulated by external factors such as the diet and the gut microflora. These factors can influence the growth of the GI tract, the age-related pattern of appearance of digestive enzymes and the decreased intestinal macromolecular permeability at gut closure, normally timed with weaning in young rodents.

6. 4. Mortality and cancer incidence following cerebral angiography with thorotrast

   Author : Ullakarin Nyberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Epidemiological studies are important tools in assessing radiation-related health effects in humans. The most common form of radiation exposure is low-dose alpha-radiation such as that from radon. However, the long-term health effects of low-dose radiation are incompletely known. READ MORE
