Μελέτη του ρυθμιστικού ρόλου του παράγοντα αναστολής της μετανάστευσης των μακροφάγων (MIF) στην επίδραση των κορτικοειδών στην παραγωγή μεταλλοπρωτεασών και των ενδογενών αναστολέων τους, κυτταροκινών και κολλαγόνου στο ρινικό πολύποδα
Στην παρούσα διατριβή μελετήθηκε η έκφραση του παράγοντα αναστολής της μετανάστευσης των μακροφάγων (MIF) στον ιστό από ρινικό πολύποδα αλλά και στον φυσιολογικό ρινικό βλεννογόνο, καθώς και η ικανότητα αυτού να εξουδετερώνει την ανασταλτική δράση των γλυκοκορτικοειδών (ΓΚ) στην επαγόμενη από …
