1. 1. The GSK-3 inhibitor has no effect on production of IL-1β in LPS- and Nigericin-stimulated THP-1 macrophages

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Jessica Halan Söderberg; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Inflammation is the body's natural defense reaction and is known since ancient times. The inflammation is divided into two main phases, acute and chronic inflammation dependent on the process and cellular mechanisms of the inflammation. READ MORE

3. 2. Promote neuroprotection and axonal outgrowth in the central and peripheral neural system

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

   Author : Elin Petersson; [2021]
   Keywords : Spinal cord injury; interleukin-1 receptor antagonist; excitotoxicity; qPCR; dorsal root ganglion.;

   Abstract : Acute spinal cord injury is often caused by collisions with motor vehicles, falls or violence. This injury could potentially lead to paraplegia or tetraplegia, causing great economic and personal loss. The patophysiology is biphasic, with primary and secondary mechanisms. READ MORE

4. 3. Inflammasome : Investigating the effect of NEK7 in the activation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Cosmas Adindu Uzowuru; [2020]
   Keywords : NLRP3 inflammasome; NEK7 protein; THP-1; Prime; activate; differentiate; stimulate; cytokines; Interleukin-1 Beta; Interleukin-18;

   Abstract : Inflammation is a biological defence mechanism applied by living organisms against foreign invaders. In the response to DAMPs and PAMPs, organisms use inflammatory multi-protein complexes to fight the attackers. The most studied inflammasome proteins are NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1. READ MORE

5. 4. Characterisation of the epistatic hybrid incompatibility locus STRUBBELIG RECEPTOR FAMILY 3 in Arabidopsis

   University essay from SLU/Department of Plant Biology (from 140101)

   Author : Fredrik Dölfors; [2018]
   Keywords : abiotic stress; arabidopsis; co-evolution; hybrid incompatibility; receptor-like kinase;

   Abstract : Populations of Arabidopsis thaliana have spread throughout temperate zones of the world and adapted to prevailing biotic and abiotic stress factors. Diverging popula-tions of Arabidopsis accessions can evolve postzygotic hybrid incompatibility (HI). READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of Macrophage Activation Induced by Leukotoxin from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans 

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

   Author : Niklas Sundling; Lisa Lü; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT  Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, non-motile coccobacilli colonizing the human oral cavity and is strongly associated with localized aggressive periodontitis (LAP). Aa possesses several virulence mechanisms, among others; Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin found in the outer membrane of Aa and Leukotoxin (LtxA), an exotoxin attached to the bacterial cell surface or in outer membrane vesicles and which has been correlating with periodontal disease mostly.
