  2. 21. Controlled axonal outgrowth and cell reactions to nanostructures

    Author : Fredrik Johansson; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Contact guidance; neuron; axon; fibroblast; macrophage; polymethylmethacrylate; porous silicon; nanowire; magnetic; immunoresponse; nanoimprint lithography; haptotaxis;

    Abstract : The interface between living cells and artificial surfaces are highly relevant for biomedical applications such as implants and organized cell growth for tissue reconstruction as well as for basic science purposes. In the present thesis, we have studied axonal guidance on various nano-patterned surfaces such as polymethyl-meth-acrylate, porous silicon and on magnetically aligned Ni nanowires. READ MORE

  4. 22. Exploring Novel Catalytic Chalcogenide Antioxidants

    Author : Henrik Johansson; Lars Engman; Helena Grennberg; Troels Skrydstrup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antioxidant; tellurium; selenium; catalytic; toxicity; ROS; neutrophil; glutathione peroxidase mimic; macrophage.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Kemi med inriktning mot organisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and evaluation of regenerable chalcogen containing antioxidants. Variously substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]selenophene-5-ol antioxidants were evaluated in order to gain information about structure/reactivity-relationships. READ MORE

  5. 23. Immunopathology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Author : Mohammad Kadivar; Leukocyt migration; []
    Keywords : Inflammatory bowel disease IBD ; Crohn s disease; Ulcerative colitis; T cell; Monocyte; macrophage; Neutrophil; anti-TNFa treatment; IBD disease activity index;

    Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract, with a remitting and relapsing course. There are two main forms of IBD: Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). READ MORE

  6. 24. Signal Transduction in Malignant Cells – Transformation, Activation and Differentiation

    Author : Karin Kårehed; Fredrik Öberg; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular medicine; transformation; PDGF; PI3K; Rho-GTPase; U-937; FcγRI; macrophage; Stat1; PKR; NFκB; ATRA; differentiation; Molekylärmedicin; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; Pathology; Patologi;

    Abstract : All aspects of cell life are regulated by signal transduction mechanisms. This thesis describes the regulatory roles of a few key signal transduction molecules involved in three major biological responses. READ MORE

  7. 25. Functional properties of galectin-3. Beyond the sugar binding

    Author : Adriana Lepur; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; galectin-3; galectin-1; M1 macrophage; M2 macrophage; self-association; fluorescence anisotropy; citrus pectin; galactomannane;

    Abstract : Contemporary diseases like diabetes, asthma, atherosclerosis etc. are marked by chronic inflammation, often supported by the activity of different macrophages. Proteins from galectin family were found to contribute to disease pathophysiology. Therefore, there is an intensive interest in understanding different galectin functions. READ MORE
