11. Revealing Secrets of Synaptic Protein Interactions : A Biosensor based Strategy
Sammanfattning : Protein interactions are the basis of synaptic function, and studying these interactions on a molecular level is crucial for understanding basic brain function, as well as mechanisms underlying neurological disorders. In this thesis, kinetic and mechanistic characterization of synaptic protein interactions was performed by using surface plasmon resonance biosensor technology. LÄS MER
12. Creating Ultrafast Biosensors for Neuroscience
Sammanfattning : Neuronal communication is the basis for all our brain function and relies on regulated exocytosis, a cell function that involves release of quantal amounts of neurotransmitters into the gap space between interconnected neurons to serve as chemical signals. To study exocytosis, which is a fast process that occurs on the timescale of sub-milliseconds to milliseconds, a toolbox of analytical methods has been developed where the electrochemical based techniques offer quantitative and sufficient high temporal recording speed.

13. Mechanisms in Tendon Healing : Pain, Biomarkers and the Role of Mast Cells
Sammanfattning : Tendon injuries and tendinopathy are common disorders, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The overall aim of this thesis was to better understand the mechanisms underlying tendon healing, pain, and inflammation. LÄS MER
14. Conjugated Polymers for Neural Interfaces : Prospects, possibilities and future challenges
Sammanfattning : Within the field of neuroprosthetics the possibility to use implanted electrodes for communication with the nervous system is explored. Much effort is put into the material aspects of the electrode implant to increase charge injection capacity, suppress foreign body response and build micro sized electrode arrays allowing close contact with neurons.

15. GABA signaling regulation by GLP-1 receptor agonists and GABA-A receptors modulator
Sammanfattning : GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the main neuroinhibitory transmitter in mammalian brains. It binds to GABA-A and GABA-B receptors. The GABA-A receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. A variety of GABA-A receptor agonists and antagonists have been developed to study the GABA-mediated inhibition and to explore new medications. LÄS MER
