  1. 1. Novel Endogenous Antimicrobial Peptides

    Författare :Emma Nordahl; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; D5; HK; C3a; HMWK; complement; heparin-binding; antibacterial; Antimicrbial peptide; AMP;

    Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial peptides serve as a first line of defence against invading microorganisms and are an essential part of our fast innate immune system. They are ancient molecules found in all classes of life. Antimicrobial peptides rapidly kill a broad spectrum of microbes and are immunomodulatory, i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. STRUCTURAL, FUNCTIONAL AND EVOLUTIONARY STUDIES OF ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES

    Författare :Mukesh Pasupuleti; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amphipathicity and end-tagging protease susceptibility; anaphylatoxin C3a; P. aeruginosa; S. aureus; innate immunity; amphipathic molecules; Antimicrobial peptides; infectious disease; bacteriostatic; microbicidal and cytolytic properties;

    Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial peptides represent a heterogeneous group that displays multiple modes of action such as bacteriostatic, microbicidal and cytolytic properties that are sequence and concentration dependent. Life threatening infectious disease is now a worldwide crisis and treating them effectively is becoming difficult day by day, due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains at alarming rates.

  4. 3. Statin treatment and beta-Amyloid Production in Patients with Alzheimer s Disease

    Författare :Kina Höglund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer s disease; amyloid precursor protein; beta-amyloid; cholesterol; statins; CSF;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder pathologically characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, the increased production of beta-amyloid (Abeta), derived form the amyloid precursor protein (APP), and its aggregation into plaques are key pathological events, driving neurodegeneration in AD.
