Immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis : the role of T cells in murine models of atherosclerosis
(2000-05-19)
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Much interest has been focused on the immune responses in the pathogenesis of the disease. The role of T cells in the development of atherosclerosis was therefore investigated ...
Linking innate and adaptive immunity to streptococcus pneumoniae
(2012-09-05)
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) most commonly colonizes the human nasopharyngeal mucosa without causing any symptoms. However, this organism has the potential to spread to normally sterile sites and cause ...
Potential mechanisms for acute health effects and lung retention of inhaled particles of different origin
(2012-05-11)
, measured lung retention was 91% at the group level. After correction for free radioactivity leaching from urine and blood samples, respectively mucociliary clearance from the central airways, the cumulative lung-particle retention was approximated to 96...
Neuroendocrine studies in suicide attempters and in hypersexual disorder
(2016-05-06)
Early life adversity is associated with increased risk of high psychiatric disease, suicidal behavior as well as risky sexual behavior in adulthood. Altered functioning of several neurobiological systems, like the serotonergic ...
Breathe (in the air) : pulmonary immunology in multiple sclerosis
(2018-02-28)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, with etiology still unknown. MS is thought to arise from a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. One of the most well ...
Elevated fasting glucose levels in obese children and adolescents : prevalence and long-term consequences
(2016-01-29)
Background: Obesity in childhood and adolescents is a major concern in Sweden, as in many parts of the world. Already during the pediatric years is obesity associated with several metabolic complications, which often ...
Assessment and differential diagnosis in childhood apraxia of speech
(2022-05-24)
Introduction and aims: Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a disorder of speech motor planning and programming affecting the ability to transform the linguistic code into movements needed for intelligible speech. CAS is ...
Modelling and calculation of DNA damage and repair in mammalian cells induced by ionizing radiation of different quality
(2013-05-21)
by monoenergetic electrons, and ultrasoft X-rays. For this purpose we proposed a method to sample the protein repair actions for every individual DSB, and finally calculate the total repair time for that specific DSB. The DSB-repair kinetics for the number of DSB...
Small artery dysfunction : focus on preeclampsia and end-stage renal disease
(2012-04-18)
Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with high risk of cardiovascular events and characterized by endothelial dysfunction. Resistance arteries are actively involved in the control ...
Modelling and genetic correction of liver genetic diseases
(2021-03-24)
The urea cycle is a set of biochemical reactions that converts highly toxic ammonia into urea for excretion. Deficiencies in any of the genes of the cycle can be life-threatening, with liver transplantation currently being ...
