11. Radiation-induced apoptosis in human lymphocytes : studies on expression, function and effects of different radiation qualities
Sammanfattning : We are constantly exposed to radiation. Radiation causes damage to our cells. By the removal of damaged and unwanted cells, apoptosis is considered to be one of the most indispensable defence processes for a multi-cellular organism. LÄS MER
12. Mechanisms of formation and protection against oxidative DNA damage in vitro and in vivo
Sammanfattning : Oxidative DNA damage has been linked to cancer and aging as well as other diseases. The aim of this thesis was to study the mechanisms for DNA damage generated in cells or in vitro systems by ionizing radiation or transition metals like iron ions. LÄS MER
13. Protein Dimensions and Interactions at Immune-Cell Contacts
Sammanfattning : Immune cells, such as B and T cells, fight pathogens infecting the human body. To fulfil this function the immune cells need to form a contact during which different membrane proteins play an important role. LÄS MER
14. Aggregation behavior and peptide-lipid interaction in an amyloid model system
Sammanfattning : Proteins constitute a major component of living cells and are essential to their function. Sometimes proteins misfold or aggregate in abnormal ways, which can give rise to diseases. Amyloids are a special type of highly ordered protein aggregates made of long intermolecular beta-sheets stacked into fibrils. LÄS MER
15. A Microcalorimetric Study of Macrocyclic Complexes in Aqueous Solution
Sammanfattning : The present work involves a microcalorimetric characterization of the interactions among macrocyclic compounds and aliphatic molecules in aqueous solution. The macrocyclic compounds used in the study are a-,b- and g-cyclodextrin and 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene-5,11,17,23- tetrasulphonate. LÄS MER
