1. Catalytic Upgrading of Waste Oils to Advanced Biofuels – Deactivation and Kinetic Modelling Study
Sammanfattning : The demand for liquid hydrocarbons as transportation fuels is enormous and ever growing. Advanced biofuels is one of the promising solutions to keep pace with the global transition to cleaner energy by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. LÄS MER
2. Acylated cell-penetrating peptides for nucleic acid delivery
Sammanfattning : In recent decades many new methods have been developed to cure or treat genetical disorders such as cancer, viral infections or inheritable diseases. The problem is that the nucleic acids and their synthetic analogs, oligonucleotides, are not able to cross the cell membrane due to their physicochemical properties like high negative charge and size.

3. Fatty Acid Composition in Skeletal Muscle : Influence of Physical Activity and Dietary Fat Quality
Sammanfattning : Insulin sensitivity is related to the fatty acid profile of skeletal muscle. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether physical activity and dietary fat quality, independent of each other, influence the fatty acid composition of the skeletal muscle lipids. LÄS MER
4. Nucleic acid delivery : reports from the search of the magic bullet
Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is regarded as one of the most promising therapeutic approaches, since it has the potential to treat disorders by correcting malformations at the nucleic acids level rather than proteins, as opposed to conventional medicine. However, for non-viral gene therapy to successfully fulfill the requirements associated to the “magic bullet” has proven difficult. LÄS MER
5. The dynamic surface nature of calcite and its role in determining the adsorptive stability toward hydrophobizing carboxylic fatty acids
Sammanfattning : Calcium carbonate has attracted a lot of interest over the centuries. Nowadays, mainly as mineral pigment and filler, it has a wide use in technological applications ranging from paper, construction, polymers, and environmental solutions to consumer goods. LÄS MER
