1. Cellular Dyes and Bioactive Peptides - Cell Membrane Interactions and Cellular Uptake
Sammanfattning : Knowledge about mechanisms behind interactions of molecules with biomembranes and cellular uptake is very important for understanding biological processes and for drug design. The work described in this thesis has focused on interactions of cellular dyes and bioactive peptides with cells and the cell membrane. LÄS MER
2. Navigating the Cellular Crowd : Physicochemical Properties of Protein Surfaces as Evolved Interaction Guides
Sammanfattning : The cellular interior is characterised by high concentrations of macromolecules. Compared with dilute conditions, the crowd modifies proteins' ability to fold, diffuse and, ultimately, carry out their biological functions. Cellular fitness depends on ensuring an adequate balance between interactivity and diffusivity. LÄS MER
3. Protein and Cell Interactions with Nanostructured Surfaces
Sammanfattning : A great challenge of today’s implant development is to construct a surface that promotes tissue integration and avoids bacterial colonization. To avoid implant related infections, many argue that a surface promoting strong cell adhesion and tissue integration in favour for bacterial adhesion would solve the problem, the so-called race for the surface concept.

4. Adenovirus-host interactions : implications for tropism and therapy
Sammanfattning : Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are common viruses often associated withgastrointestinal, ocular and respiratory infections. They can infect a widevariety of cells, both dividing and non-dividing. HAdVs attach to and infecttarget cells through interactions with cellular receptors. LÄS MER
5. Endothelial-leukocyte interactions
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes early inflammatory responses involving interactions between leukocytes and the endothelial lining of the blood vessel wall. An adhesion molecule, E-selectin, which is upregulated on interleukin-1 activated endothelium, was found to mediate rolling between leukocytes and endothelial cells in vivo. LÄS MER
