1. Chimeric gene delivery vectors : Design, synthesis, and mechanisms from transcriptomics analysis
Sammanfattning : Delivery of nucleic acid is a promising approach for genetic diseases/disorders. However, gene therapy using oligonucleotides (ONs) suffers from low transfection efficacy due to negative charges, weak cellular permeability, and enzymatic degradation. LÄS MER
2. A Study of Biomass Combustion Problems and the Selective Catalytic Oxidation of Ammonia
Sammanfattning : Increasing awareness of the need of reducing CO2, NOx and SOx emissions from combustion systems has led to a strong interest in biomass as a fuel source. Using it in combination with fluidised bed combustion technology can lead to a lowering of NOx emissions to the atmosphere. LÄS MER
3. Investigations in the band-spectra of the diatomic molecules ScO, YO and LaO
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Rational design of novel cell-penetrating peptides
Sammanfattning : Although cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been an active field of research for over 20 years there are still properties such as efficiency and stability that must be improved for CPPs to reach their full potential as delivery vectors.In this thesis two peptides were designed for non-covalent oligonucleotide delivery, in an attempt to overcome two major issues hampering wider use of CPPs, namely low stability and endosomal entrapment.

5. Acylated cell-penetrating peptides for nucleic acid delivery
Sammanfattning : In recent decades many new methods have been developed to cure or treat genetical disorders such as cancer, viral infections or inheritable diseases. The problem is that the nucleic acids and their synthetic analogs, oligonucleotides, are not able to cross the cell membrane due to their physicochemical properties like high negative charge and size.
