1. Bacterial toxins for cancer treatment
Sammanfattning : Even though anti‐cancer chemotherapy has been continuously improved during the last decades. problems with adverse effects and drug resistance still constitutes a considerable obstacle and sets a demand for new effective treatment options. LÄS MER
2. Process Analytical Tools for the Monitoring and Characterization of Bacterial Toxins
Sammanfattning : In the era of proteomics, glycomics and ultimately metabolomics, with constantly increasing knowledge regarding the human biosystem, the number of specialized therapeutic agents which will be developed against different diseases is predicted to be on the upswing. An increasing portion of these new drugs will, according to recent predictions (Labrou, 2003), be of proteinaceous origin produced according to biotechnological standards. LÄS MER
3. Genetic diversity of the heat labile (LT) and heat stable (ST) toxins of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC): New insights into polymorphism, regulation, and gene transcription
Sammanfattning : Infection with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a leading cause of diarrhea in children in developing countries and travelers to endemic regions. ETEC is a diverse pathogen, with a wide range of virulence factors including enterotoxins and more than 25 identified colonization factors (CFs). LÄS MER
4. To defend or to offend? : Bacterial defence and competition systems
Sammanfattning : Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that can be found in all niches of the biosphere. Bacteria must constantly evolve in order to survive and adapt to their environments. Defence systems and competition systems play a vital role in ensuring the survival of bacteria. LÄS MER
5. Effects of bacterial toxins on calcium homeostasis in renal inflammation
Sammanfattning : Calcium (Ca2+) is a highly versatile ion used for intra- and inter-cellular signalling in eukaryotic cells, and numerous cellular events are regulated by alteration of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We hypothesized that bacterial virulence factors may alter the Ca 2+ homeostasis in epithelial cells such that the innate immune response is affected. LÄS MER
