11. Interleukin-1 Receptors and their Ligands
Sammanfattning : Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is an endogenous mediator of the inflammatory response. IL-1 executes its actions by binding and subsequent activation of the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) proteins. Among the many systemic effects of IL-1, the fever response was the first to be investigated. LÄS MER
12. Development of a new class of protecting groups for use in solid phase peptide synthesis
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
13. On inflammatory cytokines and β-amyloid peptides in acute and chronic neurodegeneration
Sammanfattning : Insults to the brain as well as neurodegenerative diseases are known to elicit inflammatory responses. Inflammation in the brain can on one hand initiate processes that are harmful to the injured tissue and exacerbate the damage, leading to neuronal degeneration and glial activation, and on the other hand activate processes that may be necessary for repair mechanisms and regeneration.

14. Galanin : Studies by Modification of the Ligand and the Receptor
Sammanfattning : This thesis is devoted to the deeper understanding of the molecular details of the interaction between the neuropeptide galanin and its target protein, the G-protein coupled 7TM galanin receptor. The enzymatic control of galanin degradation and second messenger systems triggered by galanin receptor activation are also studied. LÄS MER
15. Cell-penetrating peptides : Uptake, stability and biological activity
Sammanfattning : Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as a group of remarkable delivery vectors for various hydrophilic macromolecules, otherwise excluded from cells due to the protective plasma membrane. Unbiased conclusions regarding e.g. LÄS MER
