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 ...
149. Diesel Engine Exhaust
(Arbets- och miljömedicin vid Göteborgs universitet & Arbetsmiljöverket, 2016-06-08)
Diesel engine exhaust is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate compounds produced during the combustion of diesel fuels. The gas phase includes carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide and small amounts ...
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) ...
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 ...
A methodological platform to study molecular biocompatibility of biomaterials. Experimental and clinical studies
(2016-05-13)
The aim of this project was to develop a methodological platform in order to advance our scientific understanding of the mechanisms of osseointegration. Screw-shaped, titanium implants, with different surface properties, ...
Biomarkers in Multiple Sclerosis - Monitoring disease activity and treatment afficacy
(2018-03-21)
The pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is complex with the presence of inflammation and neurodegeneration in all stages of the disease. The disease course, treatment response and outcome are highly variable in MS. ...
The percutaneous implant. The effects of design, host site and surgery on the tissue response
(2018-02-14)
This research project focuses on the multiple challenges associated with implants that breach the skin. The role of device design, host site, and surgical approach on tissue response and outcome are evaluated, experimentally ...
