2. 1. Cells in Culture, Cells in Suspense : Practices of Cultural Production in Foetal Cell Research

   Author : Andréa Wiszmeg; Brown Nik; The Cultural Studies Group of Neuroscience; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease; Foetal cells; Praxis; Evidence Based Practice; Ethnology; Ethnography; Science studies; Diffraction; knowledge production; Ethical issues; ethics in practice; ethnology; ethnography; science studies; foetal cells; parkinson s disease; praxis; knowledge production; ethics in practice; evidence based medicine; diffraction; cell transplantation; cross-disciplinarity; epistemology;

   Abstract : Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative affliction to which researchers have long striven to find a cure. The human embryo is a source of vital cells used in regenerative medicine, as well as a powerful symbol of life. READ MORE

4. 2. Approaches to analyses of cytotoxic cells. And studies of their role in H. pylori infection

   Author : Josef Azem; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Helicobacter pylori; mucosal immunology; stomach; duodenum; asymptomatic; duodenal ulcer; gastric adenocarcinoma; NK cells; T cells; B cells; dendritic cells; cytotoxic;

   Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infection causes chronic gastritis that may progress to peptic ulcers or gastric adenocarcinoma and thereby cause major world-wide health problems. Previous studies have shown that CD4+ T cells and the production of the cytokine IFN- × are important components of the immune response to H. pylori in humans. READ MORE

5. 3. Dendritic cells in cancer immunotherapy

   Author : Karin Gustafsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : vaccines; dendritic cells; αDC1; PGE2DC; natural killer cells; T cells;

   Abstract : Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation and regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses and have increasingly been applied as vaccines for cancer patients. Ex vivo generation and antigen loading of monocyte-derived DCs allows a controlled maturation, with the aim of imprinting different DC functions that are essential for their subsequent induction of a T cell-mediated anti-tumor response.

6. 4. Human dendritic cells : a study of early events during pathogen recognition and antigen endocytosis

   Author : Peter Hellman; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dendritic cells; zeolites;

   Abstract : The mononuclear phagocyte cell system includes monocytes, macrophages anddendritic cells which are important cells in order to recognize, ingest, destroyand also present part of a pathogen to T-lymphocytes in order to activate theadaptive immune system. Dendritic cells (DCs) stand out in their ability tostimulate T-lymphocytes and are also believed to be important to keeptolerance for “self-antigens”. READ MORE

7. 5. Regulation of Type I Interferon Production in Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells : Effect of Genetic Factors and Interactions with NK Cells and B Cells

   Author : Olof Berggren; Maija-Leena Eloranta; Niels Heegaard; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Systemic lupus erythemtosus; IFN-alpha; autoimmunity; immune complex; single nuclear polymorphisms; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : The type I interferon (IFN) system plays a central role in the etiopathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, e.g. systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Activation of the type I IFN system in SLE is promoted by endogenous nucleic acid-containing immune complexes (ICs) which stimulate plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). READ MORE
