  2. 6. Innate immune gene expression and function studied in insects and mammals

    Author : Gang Liu; Ulrich Theopold; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Insects and mammals possess innate immune responses to effectively recognize and eliminate invading microorganisms. Insects, who share with mammals conserved molecules for immune defense, are good model systems for innate immunity studies. READ MORE

  4. 7. Characterization of some molecules in the prophenoloxidase-activating and clotting systems in the freswater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus

    Author : Ruigong Wang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; fysiologisk mykologi; Physiological Mycology;

    Abstract : A lipopolysaccharide- and β-1,3-glucan-binding protein (LGBP) was purified from crayfish hemocytes. LGBP has binding activity to lipopolysaccharide, curdlan (insoluble β-1,3-glucans) and laminarin (soluble β-1,3-glucans), but not to peptidoglycan. READ MORE

  5. 8. Mucus associated proteins and their functional role in the distal intestine

    Author : Joakim H. Bergström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intestine; mucus; bacteria; MUC2; AGR2; FCGBP; ZG16;

    Abstract : The mammalian intestine, especially the large intestine, harbors complex societies of beneficial bacteria coexisting with the host. This is a mutualistic relationship, where the host provides nutrients and a favorable environment while the bacteria in return ferment indigestible polysaccharides to short chain fatty acids.

  6. 9. Gut microbes and the developing brain

    Author : Tim Arentsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The discovery that commensal gut microbiota can influence host development and physiology beyond the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has triggered a paradigm shift in our conceptualization of the origin of human diseases. A growing body of preclinical research has demonstrated that gut microbiota exert a modulatory role on the development and function of brain circuits involved in motor control, emotion and cognition.

  7. 10. Grainy head target genes in epithelial morphogenesis and wound healing

    Author : Shenqiu Wang; Christos Samakovlis; Paul Martin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; grh; targets; epidermal wound repair; tracheal tube size control; local immune responses; stit; verm; serp; PGRP-LC; CecA-LacZ; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

    Abstract : grainy head (grh) genes encode a family of transcription factors conserved from fly to human. Drosophila grh is the founding member of this gene family and has multiple functions, including tracheal tube size control, epidermal barrier formation and reconstruction after wounding. READ MORE
