  2. 16. Drosophila immune responses in a model for epithelial hypertrophy

    Author : Robert Krautz; Ulrich Theopold; Hugo Stocker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Apoptosis, differentiation and proliferation have to be tightly balanced and thus regulated to maintain tissue homeostasis. Stress, metabolic cues, genetic variability, infections and physiological host-commensal interactions influence this balance and thus need to be integrated. Therefore, beyond the discrimination between self and non-self (i.e. READ MORE

  4. 17. Molecular characterization of the Drosophila responses towards nematodes

    Author : Md. Badrul Arefin; Ulrich Theopold; Ioannis Eleftherianos; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila; nematodes; infection; danger situations; immune response; coagulation; apoptosis; nitric oxide; leukemia; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : A sophisticated evolutionary conserved innate immune system has evolved in insects to fight pathogens and to restrict damage in harmful (danger) situations including cancer. A significant amount of knowledge about different infection models in Drosophila has been generated in past decades, which revealed functional resemblances and implications for vertebrate systems.

  5. 18. Relish and the Regulation of Antimicrobial Peptides in Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Marika Hedengren Olcott; Barbara Taylor; Jean-Marc Reichhart; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila immunity; NF-kappaB; Relish; antimicrobial peptides; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been a powerful model system in which to study the immune response. When microorganisms breach the mechanical barrier of the insect, phagocytosing cells and a battery of induced antimicrobial molecules rapidly attack them. These antimicrobial peptides can reach micromolar concentrations within a few hours. READ MORE

  6. 19. 11B4C containing Ni/Ti neutron multilayer mirrors

    Author : Sjoerd Broekhuijsen; Fredrik Eriksson; Jens Birch; Thierry Bigault; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The work in this thesis covers the design, growth and characterisation of neutron multilayers. The performance of these multilayers is highly dependent on the obtained interface width between the layers, even a modest improvement can offer a substantial increase in reflectivity performance.

  7. 20. Insights from comorbidity into multiple sclerosis aetiology and outcomes

    Author : Homayoun Roshanisefat; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Multiple Sclerosis;

    Abstract : Aim: The overall aim of this research was to investigate the nature of the comorbidities in multiple sclerosis (MS) in four large population-based studies. The first study assessed whether the diagnosis underlying appendicectomy is a useful marker of MS risk. READ MORE
