  3. 2. Phenotype and function of imiquimod-treated MUTZ-3 derived Langerhans cells in potential psoriatic 3D skin model

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Emilie Allentoft Schousboe; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D models; imiquimod; Langerhans cells; MUTZ-3 cell line; pro-inflammatory cytokines; psoriasis;

    Abstract : Upon encounter of an antigen, epidermis-resident Langerhans cells (LCs) become activated and present the processed antigen to T cells of the draining lymph nodes, resulting in tolerogenic or inflammatory responses. In psoriasis plaques, skin homeostasis is disrupted and replaced by an inflammatory dermatitis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigating the crosstalk between estrogen receptor beta in colorectal cancer and tumor-associated macrophages

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alicia Bodin; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen; macrophages; colorectal cancer; qPCR; cell culture; östrogen; makrofager; tjocktarmscancer; qPCR; cellodling;

    Abstract : Tjock-och ändtarmscancer (kolorektalcancer) är den tredje vanligaste cancertypen och den näst vanligaste cancer-relaterade dödsorsaken i världen.

  5. 4. The potential of the microbiome and inflammatory markers in the faeces of dogs with GI disorders

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Malte Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Gut microbiota; dog; diets; calprotectin; dysbiosis; gastrointestinal disease;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota greatly affects host health. It can hinder the growth of pathogenic bacteria, decrease intestinal wall permeability, modulate the immune system, and provide nutrients for enterocytes. However, an imbalance of the gut microbiota to the point of dysbiosis can cause both acute, and in time, chronic GI disorders. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterisation and Identification of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and the Impact of Different Culturing Media

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Sana Said Yahya; [2023]
    Keywords : Culturing media; Fetal bovine serum; Human serum; Cell proliferation; In-vitro differentiation;

    Abstract : Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types and possess immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, making them interesting candidates for therapeutic applications. MSCs are present in small quantities in tissues like bone marrow and therefore need to be expanded while preserving their essential characteristics. READ MORE
