1. Inhibition of acute allogaft rejection - experimental transplant studies with biological and chemical immunosuppressants
Sammanfattning : In clinical transplantation immunosuppressive agents are used in combination with the objective to achieve additive effects and less toxicity. A large number of novel drugs are candidates for clinical introduction at this time and experiments in animal models have an important role to play. LÄS MER
2. Computer Vision Based Analysis of Animal Behavior
Sammanfattning : The behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology. There is a large variation in what animals are studied, in experimental paradigms and purpose.However, many studies on animal behavior have at least one thing in common - it typically involves measuring or studying the kinematics of the animal.

3. Mitochondrial medicine. New strategies to evaluate drug toxicity and develop pharmacological protection of the cell’s powerhouse
Sammanfattning : Mitochondria produce the majority of the cell’s energy. Any dysfunction in, or interference with mitochondrial function can have severe consequences. And yet, it was only within the last decades that screening for potential mitochondrial toxicity was included as routine toxicity assay during early drug development. LÄS MER
4. Modeling of combination therapy to support drug discovery in oncology
Sammanfattning : Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations, with impulses, are used to describe tumor growth after different treatment combinations, including chemicals as well as radiation. The models are calibrated, using a nonlinear mixed-effects framework, based on time series data of tumor volume from animal experiments. LÄS MER
5. Preproenkephalin Gene and mRNA : Studies of Structure, Function, Cocaine Responses in an Animal Model, and Genetic Association with Human Opiate Addiction
Sammanfattning : The endogenous opioid enkephalin neuropeptides are mediators of pain perception and have been implicated in human addictions. The preproenkephalin gene and its mRNA have also provided many examples of tissue- and species-specific variations in mRNA structure produced through a variety of transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms.
