  2. 6. Macrophages and neutrophils in tissue homeostasis and recovery from ischemic injury

    Author : Kristel Parv; Mia Phillipson; Gustaf Christoffersson; Per-Ola Carlsson; Stephen Jenkins; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; macrophages; neutrophils; hindlimb ischemia; ischemic disease; mural cells; diabetes mellitus; postnatal β cell maturation.;

    Abstract : Neutrophils and macrophages have functions beyond protection against pathogens. The overall aim of the work presented in this thesis was to identify novel tasks for these innate immune cells in maintaining homeostasis. READ MORE

  4. 7. To scar or not to scar : origin and function of fibrotic tissue in the central nervous system

    Author : David Oliveira Dias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : After injury, the adult mammalian central nervous system lacks long-distance axon regeneration, and insufficient repair results in the formation of a multicellular and compartmentalized scar. A great body of work has been dedicated to the study of the glial component of the scar, while the fibrotic lesion core has received less attention. READ MORE

  5. 8. Innervation patterns and locally produced signal substances in the human patellar tendon : of importance when understanding the processes of tendinosis

    Author : Patrik Danielson; Sture Forsgren; Håkan Alfredson; Graham Riley; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; patellar tendon; innervation; tendinosis; tendinopathy; acetylcholine; catecholamines; muscarinic receptors; adrenergic receptors; Anatomy; Anatomi;

    Abstract : Tendinosis is a condition of chronic pain that afflicts several human tendons, not least the patellar tendon, in which case it is often clinically referred to as ‘jumper’s knee’. The exact mechanisms behind tendinosis are yet not fully understood. READ MORE

  6. 9. Scarring and regeneration in the central nervous system

    Author : Jannis Kalkitsas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In response to injury, tissues employ conserved reparative mechanisms to heal the damage and recover their function. The reparative success varies according to the organism, the tissue or organ, and the age of the specimen. The reparative response occurs through two separate but overlapping processes: wound healing and regeneration. READ MORE

  7. 10. Leukocyte recruitment and control of vascular permeability in acute inflammation

    Author : Ellinor Kenne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The inflammatory process is fundamental in host defense against tissue injury or infection. However, the inflammatory reaction may itself cause harm to the host and contribute to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Leukocyte recruitment and edema formation are key components of the inflammatory response. READ MORE
