11. Functional Characterization of Centrally Expressed Solute Carriers and G Protein-Coupled Receptors
Sammanfattning : Transmembrane proteins are gatekeepers of the cells; controlling the transport of substrates as well as communicating signals among cells and between the organelles and cytosol. Solute carriers (SLC) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are the largest family of membrane transporters and membrane receptors respectively. LÄS MER
12. The thrombin receptors PAR1 and PAR4 and their relative role in platelet activation
Sammanfattning : Many blood cell mechanisms in the human body are working all the time to maintain haemostasis in the blood vessels. Once a wound arises platelets are alerted via different substances to cover the wound and prevent loss of blood. Most of the times these mechanisms do stop the blood, and further heal the wound.

13. Emerging role of RIG-I-like receptors in antiviral innate immunity in airway structural cells
Sammanfattning : Respiratory viral infections, especially involving rhinovirus, are main triggers of exacerbations of asthma and COPD. These severe conditions are a great burden to both the individual and society and currently lack effective treatments. LÄS MER
14. Functional studies of purinergic and cholinergic interactions in the rat urinary bladder - Characterization of ATP-evoked urothelial release of acetylcholine
Sammanfattning : Functional interplays between different transmitter systems are known to affect the signalling of the micturition reflex arc. The functional implications of many of these interactions, such as between ATP and acetylcholine, have yet to be unravelled. LÄS MER
15. The Synthesis and Use of Certain Pyridine Derivatives as Modulators of the G-protein Coupled Receptors mGlu5 and P2Y12
Sammanfattning : The glutamatergic mGlu5 receptor and the purinergic P2Y12 receptor are two important targets in the development of novel treatments of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and thrombosis, respectively. Synthesis was developed to investigate the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a novel series of 2-alkynylpyridine derivatives as mGluR5 antagonists. LÄS MER
