    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Sania Merchant; [2022]
    Keywords : Asthma; Airway hyperresponsiveness; Airway smooth muscle cells; Calcium flux; Dupilumab; Astma; luftvägshyperreaktivitet; glatta muskelceller från luftvägarna; kalciumflöde; dupilumab;

    Abstract : Typ 2-cytokiner, IL-4 och IL-13 är kända för att spela en viktig roll i airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) eller luftvägshyperreaktivitet, där de glatta muskelcellerna (ASM) drar ihop sig för lätt och för mycket som svar på direkta eller indirekta stimuli.

  3. 2. Factors and mechanisms associating the mobilisation of Ca2+ with the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Maria Panagiota Theodorou; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that play a critical role in the regulation of inflammation and the inflammatory responses against pathogens. NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR-and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) is among the molecules involved in the homonymous and well-studied NLRP3 inflammasome that accounts for the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) 1-β and 18.

  4. 3. Spatiotemporal reconstructions of black carbon, organic matter and heavy metals in coastal records of south-west Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Marcus Rudolf; [2016]
    Keywords : organic matter; spheroidal carbonaceous particles; black carbon; geology; physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; heavy metals; coastal sediments; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study presents reconstructions of black carbon (BC), including spheroidal and amorphous carbonaceous particles (SCP and ACP), organic matter (OM; total organic carbon, TOC; total nitrogen, TN; total sulfur, TS), and heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, As and Hg) in coastal sediments off the south-west coast of Sweden. Sediment records from eight stations along a north-south transect off the south-west of Sweden were retrieved. READ MORE
