Parkinsons sjukdom är en neurologisk sjukdom som drabbar upp till 2 % av alla människor över 60 år. De exakta orsakerna som leder till utvecklingen av sjukdomen är fortfarande okända men åldrandet är den största kända riskfaktorn idag. Sjukdomen kännetecknas av en progressiv försämring av kroppens rörelseförmåga i samband med förlust av nervceller. Patienter med sjukdomen har också påvisat proteinParkinson´s Disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Only a small number of cases appear to be caused by genetic mutations, meaning most cases arise due to unknown mechanisms. While there are reported to be multiple causes of the disease, what links all cases is a small protein called α-synuclein whose aggregation appears to correlate to the pathology and progression of the dis

Många gamla industri- och hamnområden, som tidigare låg utanför centrum, har idag växt ihop med stadskärnan. Det har därför blivit allt vanligare att städer utvecklar dessa områden till att bli nya levande stadsdelar. På grund av att jordens befolkning ökar, och att en allt större del av befolkningen väljer att bosätta sig i städer, finns det också ett behov av nya platser att förtäta och utvecklaMany old industrial and port areas that were previously located outside of the city centre, have now become a part of the city centre, due to the expansion of the city. Therefore, it is more and more common for cities to develop these areas into new vibrant neighbourhoods. Because of the earth’s increasing population, and the fact that a larger part of the population chooses to settle in cities, t

Det är välkänt att isarna på polerna krymper och att temperaturerna över hela världen ökar. Att kunna förutsäga vädret i Arktis för att på förhand förstå sig på och ta sig an konsekvenserna av de rådande klimatförändringarna är därför viktigt. Precis som att det görs prognoser av vädret för att underlätta för människors levnad görs det prognoser över Arktis för att förutspå tillväxten och smältninThe Arctic climate and the sea ice drift are important to study both for the improvement in short-term forecasts and to get a better understanding of the climate change. Short-term forecasts are needed to improve the shipping and offshore industries in the Arctic Ocean. Changes in the ice thickness and concentration can have massive consequences for people and the environment. In the present work,

Förekomsten av luftvägsallergier som astma och hösnuva har ökat under de senaste årtiondena. Dessa sjukdomar kan leda till fysiska och psykosociala besvär; astma kan i värsta fall få fatala konsekvenser. Dendritceller är skickliga regulatorer av immunförsvaret och av allergiska reaktioner. I den här studien har vi i en cellkulturmodell undersökt hur dendritceller kan påverkas av deras närmiljö i lDendritic cells (DCs) are influenced by signals from their microenvironment, which may affect how they regulate immunity. Activation of T helper (Th) 2 cells by DCs in allergic reactions is well supported, yet the underlying mechanisms that regulate DCs to stimulate Th2 development are less clear. Airway epithelial cells (AECs) have been suggested as potent regulators of DCs and drivers of DC indu
