We always love to show off our users amazing work. Empower scientists to enable a more more visual and reachable science.\u00a0 In the post, I will\u00a0present\u00a0Christina Hermanrud<\/a> research thesis for her doctoral degree entitled\u00a0Immunogenicity of Biopharmaceuticals in Chronic Inflammatory diseases<\/a>. Dr.\u00a0Hermanrud is a neuroscientist from\u00a0Karolinska Institutet\u00a0in Sweden. Her research focuses on chronic inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)\u00a0where genetic and environmental factors influence the pathogenesis.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Hermanrud thesis incluide five studies to evaluate\u00a0endogenous immune processes\u00a0affected<\/p>\n

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are chronic inflammatory diseases where genetic and environmental factors influence the pathogenesis. MS is a disease of the central nervous system, while RA primarily affects the joints. Biopharmaceuticals such as interferon beta (IFN\u03b2) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1) inhibitors are widely used treatments to achieve a reduction in disease activity in people with MS and RA respectively. Over time, however, some of the treated patients develop anti-drug antibodies (ADA) or neutralizing ADA (NAb) that can reduce or abrogate the drug efficacy and subsequently lead to loss of clinical response.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She is also a Mind the Graph user and created her illustrations using the platform. That makes us very proud, so I will share some of her creations to inspire and help other scientists to create their own illustrations. Dr.\u00a0Hermanrud used the graphical abstracts she made at Mind the Graph in a way to complement and illustrate main points of his research.<\/p>\n

Inspirations for who is writing a thesis<\/h3>\n

She created illustrations to show immune complex formation, cell signaling pathways,\u00a0drug administration and leukocytes migration:<\/p>\n

Also, she created graphical abstracts to illustrate the assays\u00a0used to measure\u00a0neutralizing anti-drug antibody \u00a0(NAb). These assays were\u00a0based on the antibodies ability to antagonize the biopharmaceutical in for example the cellular response of the drug.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Dr. Hermanrud and thank you for using Mind the Graph!<\/p>\n

And if you want to learn about how to make amazing graphical abstracts of your own, here are a couple posts that can help you:<\/p>\n
