About Johan

Johan Bylund is Professor and subject representative at the Department of Oral Microbiology and Immunology, Institute of Odontology, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, affiliated with Odontology Section 3. His professional contact details include telephone numbers +46 31-786 50 18 and +46 766-18 50 18. Bylund's research centers on the biology of oral inflammation, a fundamental host defense reaction triggered by microbial invasion or tissue damage. Neutrophils serve as key effector cells in acute inflammation, rapidly recruited to infection sites to phagocytose and kill invading microbes in the oral cavity and elsewhere. The work investigates how neutrophil activity is regulated by interactions with other immune cells and microbial factors, including intracellular oxidant production. Dysregulated neutrophil responses can lead to tissue damage and contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases, making this area critical for understanding oral health and immunity.
