  2. 1. Towards a Refined Model of Neutrophil Motility

    Author : Vesa-Matti Loitto; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Tommy Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. PMNL; neutrophils; neutrophil motility; N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : The ability of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL; neutrophils), to sense and move to sites of infection is essential for our defense against pathogens. Cell motility is critically dependent on a dynamic remodeling of morphology. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mineral fibers, cigarette smoke, and oxidative DNA damage : An experimental study

    Author : Per Leandersson; Östergötlands Läns Landsting; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This study concerns the ability of mineral fibers and cigarette smoke to generate reactive oxygen metabolites and to cause damage to DNA. The generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH") was demonstrated by using the DNA base, deoxyguanosine (dG) as a trapping agent for OH" and determining its hydroxylation to 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (80HdG), and oxidative DNA damage was assessed as formation of 80HdG in isolated DNA or in DNA of human lung cells in culture.
