  2. 1. The zoonotic pathogen Borrelia afzelii in its natural hosts : Bacterial dissemination and immuno-transcriptomics

    Author : Xiuqin Zhong; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Borrelia afzelii; natural hosts; bacterial load; immune response; RNA-seq;

    Abstract : Most pathogens can infect a number of different host species, but host species often differ considerably in susceptibility to a given pathogen. In the case of zoonotic pathogens, natural hosts typically present little or no disease symptoms, while humans and other “spill-over” hosts often present severe symptoms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modifying xenogeneic immune recognition and engraftment by genetic engineering

    Author : Zhong He; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Xenotransplantation; gene therapy; gene transfer; endothelium; promoters; monocytes; NK cells; alpha-Gal; lentivirus vectors; pancreatic islets;

    Abstract : Transplantation using xenogenic organs, tissues and cells (i.e. xenotransplantation) is a potential solution to the shortage of those from human sources. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are the most immediate barrier between the xenogeneic donor organ and the host defense systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. A sensor network architecture for mobile users

    Author : Chen Zhong; Robert Brännström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industriell elektronik; Industrial Electronics;

    Abstract : Recent developments in sensor technology have resulted in the feasibility of deployingsensors on a human user in order to sense physiological properties such as body temperature,pulse and posture. This enables monitoring of a user’s health condition and stresslevels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Selenium in mammalian thioredoxin reductase

    Author : Liangwei Zhong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is a major enzyme in regulating intracellular redox status. The enzyme from several mammalian tissues has been purified, showing higher molecular weight and a much broader substrate specificity than E. coli TrxR, but the structural basis of these properties remained unknown.
