1. Development of robust cyanobacterial strains for biotechnological applications : Stress tolerance and cell-specific expression in heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria
Sammanfattning : Synthetic biology tools can be used to exploit potential applications of cyanobacteria, promising photosynthetic hosts for production of fuels and chemicals. Specific genetic tools are needed for the development of robust cyanobacterial strains for bioengineering. LÄS MER
2. Cytomegalovirus Infection in Immunocompetent and Renal Transplant Patients : Clinical Aspects and T-cell Specific Immunity
Sammanfattning : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a β-herpesvirus that, after primary infection, establishes a life-long persistence in the human host. Up to 90% of humans are infected with CMV, that is kept under control by CMV-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. In patients with an impaired cellular immunity, however, CMV infections can be life-threatening. LÄS MER
3. Cell-Specific Ca2+ Response in Pancreatic ß-cells
Sammanfattning : Pancreatic ß-cells are heterogeneous in their secretory responsiveness, glucose sensitivity and metabolic rate. A diminished and delayed first-phase insulin release is an early sign of failing ß-cells in diabetes. LÄS MER
4. Specific genetic modifications in the CNS - Cell specific expression and gene specific regulation
Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic tool for many diseases of the CNS. Lentiviral vectors are particularly attractive since this vector type can transduce both dividing and non-dividing cells, have a relatively large cloning capacity, can sustain long-term transgene expression and have low immunogenicity.

5. Serglycin-dependent mast cell-specific proteases and their potential interactions with Giardia intestinalis
Sammanfattning : Mast cells are located in mucosal and connective tissues throughout the body where they play important roles in immune reactions towards infections. Mast cell deficiency results in failure of clearance of the non-invasive intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis in mice, but the mast cell-driven mechanisms remain poorly understood.
