Impairment of Endothelial Thromboprotective Function by Haemodynamic and Inflammatory Stress - Implications for hypertensive disease
(2007-06-29)
The physiologically most important activator of intravascular fibrinolysis is tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). The endothelium synthesizes and stores t-PA and regulated release of the enzyme is an important local ...

(2021-11-25)
The epithelium of the human airways protects us against harm and helps
maintain immune homeostasis. In respiratory diseases such as asthma and
COPD, the functions of the epithelium are altered and can cause or contribute
to ...
Exhaled particles for monitoring of airway inflammation
(2016-11-17)
Non-invasive collection methods suitable for studying the composition of the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) in small airways are currently not readily available. The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to ...
Priming and activation of neutrophils from blood and tissue
(2023-03-17)
Inflammation is a powerful process, involved in many disease states, as well as in physiological situations. Neutrophils, the main characters of this thesis, are potent immune cells with the capacity to regulate inflammatory ...
