  2. 1. Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli water isolates

    Author : Anna Nilsson; Hilpi Rautelin; Astrid Skarp; Cecilia Johansson; Mikael Skurnik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; C. jejuni; C. coli; C.coli clade 2; C. coli clade 3; waterborne pathogens; whole genome sequencing; water survival; pathogenic potential; phenotypical identification; Klinisk bakteriologi; Clinical Bacteriology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli are together the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in the European Union. Campylobacter can be transmitted to humans via contaminated water, but it is largely unknown how these bacteria survive in water. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hereditary Colorectal Cancer; Identification, Characterization and Classification of Mutations

    Author : Anna Rohlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hereditary Colorectal cancer; FAP; AFAP; mutations; mosaic mutation; exome sequencing; massively parallel sequencing; next generation sequencing; atypical polyposis; APC; POLE; GREM1; PPAP;

    Abstract : Hereditary factors are thought to play are role in 20-30% of all colorectal cancers Around 6% are found as high penetrant disease-causing mutations in genes correlated to hereditary polyposis or hereditary non-polyposis syndromes. The aim of this thesis was to identify new causative genes and variants and also mutation mechanisms in families presenting a polyposis, atypical polyposis or nonpolyposis CRC phenotype. READ MORE

  5. 3. Statistical Methods for Taxon Classification and Bird Migration Phenology

    Author : Måns Karlsson; Ola Hössjer; Jonas Knape; Benjamin Bolker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Classification; quantile regression; phenology; statistical ornithology; L-functionals; set-valued classification; species identification; statistical ecology; multispecies modelling; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : The connection between ecology and statistics is deep. Methodological advancement in statistics open up new possibilities to understand the distribution of life on earth, and research questions in ecology cause new statistical methods to be developed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Systematics of Lactobacillus spp. of probiotic potential

    Author : Alejandra Vasquez; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; bacteria; molecular-based identification; probiotics; systematics;

    Abstract : Lactobacillus is a heterogeneous bacterial genus comprising at present 91 species. The high species number often makes classification and identification difficult, especially as the taxonomy to a high degree has been based on phenotypical traits. READ MORE

  7. 5. CD8alpha/alpha+ T-cells and immune memory

    Author : Isabelle Magalhaes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A better understanding of T-cell memory formation is crucial for rationale vaccine design and the identification of correlates of immune protection. The CD8αα homodimer expressed on CD8+ T-cells is not anymore considered to represent a TCR co-receptor, it may rather represent a mechanism to modulate T-cell avidity and identify a subset of memory T-cells.
