  4. 3. The Effect of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Leukotoxin on Cell-to-Cell Communication in Human Monocytes

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

    Author : Bejyan Hussein; Ali Tamali; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a complex and multifactorial dental disease and without proper treatment it eventually leads to the loss of teeth. Individuals with a higher number of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in their micro-flora have a greater risk of developing periodontitis and the bacterium is associated with local aggressive periodontitis that affects younger populations.

  5. 4. Expression of connexin 43 gap junctions and hemichannels following cerebral ischemia in near-term fetal sheep

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi

    Author : Carolina Hawranek; [2006]
    Keywords : Connexin 43; connexin 43 hemichannels; ischemic brain damage; apoptosis; astrocytic network; cell death spread; brain cooling; hypothermia; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Connexins are proteins that make up the gap junctions that directly link the intracellular spaces of neighboring cells. Each gap junction is formed by the joining up or docking of two hemichannels in the cell membranes. READ MORE
