2. 21. Disease-causing Keratin Mutations and Cytoskeletal Dysfunction in Human Skin : In vitro Models and new Pharmacologic Strategies for Treating Epidermolytic Genodermatoses

   Author : Jean Christopher Chamcheu; Anders Vahlquist; Hans Törmä; Harshad Navsaria; Marie Virtanen; Torbjörn Egelrud; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidermolysis bullosa simplex; epidermolytic ichthyosis; genodermatoses; keratin; keratin mutation; keratinocytes; gene therapy; pharmacological therapy; immortalization; gene regulation; trimethylamine N-oxide TMAO ; sodium 4-phenylbutyrate 4-PBA ; tissue engineering; cell culture; heat shock proteins; MAP kinases; Dermatology and venerology; Dermatologi och venerologi; Dermatologi och venereologi; Dermatology and Venerology;

   Abstract : Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) and epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) are rare skin fragility diseases characterized by intra-epidermal blistering due to autosomal dominant-negative mutations in basal (KRT5 or KRT14) and suprabasal (KRT1 or KRT10) keratin genes,  respectively. Despite vast knowledge in the disease pathogenesis, the pathomechanisms are not fully understood, and no effective remedies exist. READ MORE

4. 22. Transforming growth factor-ß. Signal regulation in health and disease

   Author : Urban Molander; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : TGF-b; BMP; Smad; signal transduction; LDL; skin tumour; mesangial;

   Abstract : TGF-b superfamily members have been shown to play a pivotal role in multicellular organisms. Knowledge about signal transduction pathways is important in order to understand and cure diseases like cancer where TGF-b´s growth inhibitory signal often are disenabled via mutated or absent signalling components.

5. 23. Aspects on Chronic Venous Disease of the Lower Limb

   Author : Gudmundur Danielsson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; traumatology; orthopaedics; Surgery; duplex ultrasound; foot volumetry; Chronic venous disease; CEAP classification;

   Abstract : Controversies exist regarding both what is required for a proper diagnosis of chronic venous disease (CVD), and what treatment to offer patients. An objective evaluation is mandatory to individualize treatment. READ MORE

6. 24. Biophysical aspects of the skin barrier : towards increased non-invasive extraction and optimized biomarker sampling

   Author : Maxim Morin; Johan Engblom; Sebastian Björklund; Nicole K Brogden; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The skin provides a link to the body’s health via its rich variety of high and low molecular weight biomarkers, reflecting both systemic diseases (e.g., cancer, diabetes) and local skin disorders (e.g. READ MORE

7. 25. Composition and maintenance of skin resident T-cells in health and disease

   Author : Elena Hoffer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) reside in healthy skin at sites of previous infections. Upon re-infection, TRM cells rapidly respond by initiating tissue inflammation and exert effector functions to eliminate pathogens. TRM cells are potent effector cells and as such, they are key players in focal inflammatory skin diseases. READ MORE
