Effects of toxin-producing phytoplankton on copepods: feeding, reproduction and implications to the fate of toxins

Popular Abstract in Swedish Effekter av giftiga växtplankton på copepoder Vad är växtplankton och copepoder? Växtplankton eller mikroalger som de också kalla's är de dominerande växterna i havet. Det finn's många olika typer av växtplankton och de är alla mycket små (dera's storlek är mellan ett par till några hundra tusendelar av en millimeter). Växtplanktonen använder ljusenergin från solen ocPhytoplankton growth and loss rates are governed by several factors and in many cases, when growth control fails, algal blooms are established. Such blooms can be formed by different phytoplankton species and some of them have harmful impacts on marine ecosystems. One of these negative impacts by some bloom-forming phytoplankton is the ability to produce toxic or inhibitory compounds with broad ef

Staphylococcal induced inflammatory response in human monocytes: Analysis of factors involved

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den medicinska termen sepsis, "blodförgiftning" orsakas av bakterier i blodet. Symptombilden kan variera från tämligen lindriga förlopp till septisk shock, som har en hög dödlighet. Vid sepsis och septisk shock aktiveras olika kroppsegna system såsom koagulations- och komplementsystemet. Många mekanismer medieras av så kallade cytokiner. Dessa budbärarmolekyler byggs upPurified bacterial cell wall components peptidoglycan and teichoic acid were isolated from staphylococcal species S. aureus and/or S. epidermidis and tested for their ability to induce cytokine release from plastic-adherent human monocytes. Both cell wall components dose-dependently induced TNF-alpha, interleukin-1beta, and interleukin-6 release, peptidoglycan being more potent than teichoic acid.

Challenges in teaching international students: group separation, language barriers and culture differences

Every year, there are more than 2500 new international students coming to Lund University and starting their higher education path. A higher number of foreign students increased the international competitiveness of Lund University, but at the same time the international students had to face many problems for instance, culture shock and language barriers. In this report we focused on issues in teac
