The role of S100A4 protein as a regulator of inflammation and bone metabolism in experimental arthritis
(2011-10-28)
S100A4 belongs to the family of calcium-binding S100 proteins and modulates cell proliferation,
cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell motility, and angiogenesis. Increased levels of S100A4 expression
correlate with high ...
Functional and Phenotypic Studies of Eosinophilic Granulocytes in Patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis
(2015-04-27)
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, in which the esophagus is infiltrated by eosinophils and T cells. Topical corticosteroids are one of the treatment options for patients ...
Acute and chronic peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: neurogenic inflammation and citrate treatment
(2009-10-06)
The prevalent problems associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) are ultrafiltration failure and peritonitis. During PD the patient is sustained on a state of intraperitoneal inflammation, which over time impairs structure, ...
Neurochemical and cognitive aftermaths of surgery - studies on short- and long-term effects of surgery and anesthesia
(2020-10-01)
Background: Each year, around the world, more than 230 million patients have surgery. Improvements in healthcare have resulted in older and sicker patients undergoing surgical interventions. As a result, surgical safety ...
Molecular and cellular interactions on noble metal nanopatterned surfaces − applications towards bone, soft tissue and infection control
(2014-05-09)
Biomaterial-associated infection is recognised as one of the main risks for failure of medical devices. The presence of a foreign material in tissues has been suggested to compromise the ability of host cells to eradicate ...
Central and Peripheral Neuroendocrine Factors in Cancer-Associated Anorexia and Cachexia
(2015-11-26)
Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) develops in response to tumor-host biochemical interactions. A loss of appetite (anorexia) and increased metabolism results in a progressive wasting of adipose and skeletal muscle ...

Inflammation and Cell Profileration Following Perinatal Brain Injury
(2010-08-30)
Inflammation plays an important role in cerebral ischemic injury in the immature brain. The aim of the thesis was to investigate (1) the role of astrocyte activation and reactive gliosis in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) ...
Inflammatory response in the immature brainafter hypoxia-ischemia. Application of microarray and transgenic technology
(2004)
Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury remains a common problem encountered during theneonatal period, and it is a major cause of perinatal mortality and long term neurologicalimpairments. After HI, an inflammatory reaction ...
In vitro wound healing characteristics of amelogenins
(2011-05-09)
Wound healing involves the co-ordinated actions of several cell types, soluble cell mediators and extracellular matrix (ECM). This research project intended to investigate the role of certain ECM proteins in different ...
