  2. 1. Deciphering neural networks in the somatosensory system using single-cell transcriptomics and rabies tracing

    Author : Jon E. T. Jakobsson; Malin C. Lagerström; Victoria Abraira; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neural networks; somatosensory system; itch; rabies tracing; scRNA-seq;

    Abstract : Itch has evolved to protect us from malicious parasites keen to suck our blood or lay their eggs in our skin. We can detect both the movement of these parasites and the toxins they introduce with specialized neurons called pruriceptors. When we feel an itch, we get a desire to scratch it. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thoughts in Motion : The Role of Long-Term L1 and Short-Term L2 Experience when Talking and Thinking of Caused Motion

    Author : Guillermo Montero-Melis; Emanuel Bylund; T. Florian Jaeger; Henriëtte Hendriks; Lars Fant; Barbara C. Malt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Linguistic relativity; language and thought; conceptualization; thinking for speaking; semantic typology; lexicalization patterns; events; caused motion; bilingualism; second language acquisition; transfer; adaptation; priming; Spanish; Swedish; Bilingualism; tvåspråkighet;

    Abstract : This thesis is about whether language affects thinking. It deals with the linguistic relativity hypothesis, which proposes that the language we speak influences the way we think. This hypothesis is investigated in the domain of caused motion (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptional control of CD4+ T lymphocytes

    Author : Peter C J Janson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immune system can respond to various types of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, tumors and parasites. The ability to provide protection against different types of pathogens partly relies on development of alternative T effector cells with separate effector functions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Strategies for modulation of dendritic cell responses

    Author : Annette E Sköld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With increased knowledge in dendritic cell (DC) biology, innate immune receptors and their ligands, and the shaping of adaptive responses, refined approaches to modulate our immune system are today emerging as treatment strategies for chronic infections and severe cancers. At the center of attention stand DCs – the innate immune cells that orchestrate the adaptive immune responses. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endothelial activation and inflammation in the tumor microenvironment

    Author : Hua Huang; Anna Dimberg; William C. Aird; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tumor angiogenesis; endothelial activation; leukocyte recruitment; VEGF-A; αB-crystallin; ELTD1;

    Abstract : Tumors are composed not only of malignant cells, but also of various types of normal cells, including vascular cells and infiltrating immune cells, which drive tumor development and progression. The tumor vasculature is abnormal and dysfunctional due to sustained tumor angiogenesis driven by high levels of pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE
