1. Anti-parasitic and anti-viral immune responses in insects
Sammanfattning : Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. LÄS MER
2. Drug Repositioning for Cancer Treatment : Novel Candidate Identification Strategies
Sammanfattning : Regardless of the enormous investments in cancer research and drug development, the proportion of approved drugs in oncology is low compared to other indications, and new avenues are needed. One attractive approach in this regard is drug repositioning where new uses outside the scope of the original medical indications for existing drugs are identified. LÄS MER
3. Elucidating the Gating Mechanism of Cys-Loop Receptors
Sammanfattning : Cys-loop receptors are membrane proteins that are key players for the fast synaptic neurotransmission. Their ion transport initiates new nerve signals after activation by small agonist molecules, but this function is also highly sensitive to allosteric modulation by a number of compounds such as anesthetics, alcohol or anti-parasitic agents. LÄS MER
4. Studies of different secondary metabolites : Natural products from the mevalonate pathway
Sammanfattning : Natural products, also called secondary metabolites, are small molecules that are not involved in main life processes. These can be produced by any living organism and play important roles as chemical weapons, protecting the organism from the competitive environment. LÄS MER
5. Signaling pathways in the activation and proliferation of Drosophila melanogaster blood cells
Sammanfattning : The larva of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model to study the molecular control of innate cellular immune responses. Cellular responses take place, and can be studied, following infestation of the wasp Leptopilina boulardi. This response includes proliferation and activation (differentiation) of the blood cells (hemocytes). LÄS MER
