  2. 6. The Immune System in the Oldest-Old : Clinical and Immunological Studies in the NONA Immune Cohort

    Author : Bengt-Olof Nilsson; Jan Ernerudh; Anders Wikby; Sture Löfgren; Karlis Pauksens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Elderly; selection; health status; lymphocyte subsets; CD8; CMV; cytomegalovirus; immune risk; immune risk phenotype; IRP; T-cells; interleukin 6; IL-6; survival; mortality; antinuclear antibodies; ANA; ageing; immunosenescence; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The oldest-old (people aged 80 or older) constituted 5 % of the population in Sweden in 2000, an increase from 1.5 % fifty years earlier. The immune system undergoes dramatic changes at high age, sometimes referred to as “immunosenescence”. READ MORE

  4. 7. On the immunopathogenesis of HIV infection

    Author : Jakob Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1; Lymphoid tissue; cell mediated immunity; CD8 T-cells; perforin; cytotoxicity; regulatory T-cells; FOXP3;

    Abstract : CD8+ T-cell dependent clearance of microbial infections by perforin mediated killing of infected cells is a central component in the combat against viral infections. In HIV-1 infected individuals the incidence of virus infected cells in lymphoid tissue, which is the major site for virus production, does not drop, but instead slowly increases as the disease progresses.

  5. 8. Cellular and molecular mechanisms in immune mediated hepatic fibrosis. A study of the inflammatory syndrome and fibrosis development of the NIF mouse liver

    Author : Julia Nilsson; Autoimmunitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fibrosis; liver; mouse model; NKT cells; type 2 inflammation; inflammasome;

    Abstract : Fibrosis is the result of dysregulated inflammation and tissue repair, and is characterized by the excessive accumulation of extra cellular matrix (ECM) proteins. It causes detrimental effects to the afflicted tissue and can subsequently lead to organ failure. READ MORE

  6. 9. Mind the Gap : Human Decision Making and Information Fusion

    Author : Maria Nilsson; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Information Fusion; Decision Making; Distributed Cognition; Decision Support; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Teknik; Technology;

    Abstract : Information fusion, i.e., the automatic integration of information from multiple sources, is an advancing research area which can assist decision makers in enhancing their decisions. Most information fusion research so far has had a technical focus and has paid relatively little attention to human decision making processes. READ MORE

  7. 10. Boundary singularities of plurisubharmonic functions

    Author : Mårten Nilsson; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pluripotential theory; envelope of plurisubharmonic functions; complex Monge-Ampère equation; Jensen measures;

    Abstract : We study the Perron–Bremermann envelope P(μ, φ):=sup{u(z) ; u ∈ PSH(Ω), (ddcu)n≥ μ, u^* ≤ φ} on a B-regular domain Ω. Such envelopes occupy a central position within pluripotential theory as they, for suitable μ and φ harmonic and continuous on the closure of Ω, constitute unique solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge–Ampère operator.
