1. Tailoring and Characterization of Polymer-linked Fibrillar Structures
Sammanfattning : The development of sustainable and renewable materials is paramount in today’s society. As the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, cellulose from cellulose-rich fibres is an excellent alternative for advanced and innovative material solutions. LÄS MER
2. Immunoglobulins in the adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in malaria
Sammanfattning : Characterisation of the delicate cell-to-cell interactions involved in the binding of Plasmodium falciparum- infected erythrocytes to host cells is central for the understanding of the development of severe malaria. Infected erythrocytes adhere in the deep vasculature of several organs, sequestration, leading to cerebral malaria, pulmonary oedema or renal failure. LÄS MER
3. Amyloid β peptide: from monomer solubility to fibril structure
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common human neuro-degenerative disease characterized by the formation of cerebral plaques. Several are the amyloid-beta (Aβ) variants found in the brain of healthy individuals. LÄS MER
4. On the colloidal and molecular aspects of peptide self-assembly
Sammanfattning : Peptide self-assembly is a spontaneous process, ubiquitous in nature for the creation of highly ordered and complex biological structures, making it a sought after technique in the development of novel biocompatible materials. The process is also strongly associated with various neurodegenerative diseases in the formation of amyloid plaques in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, where fully functioning proteins aggregate are reassembled into nonfunctional fibrillar aggregates that eventually lead to cell death.

5. Mechanistic and morphological studies of Aβ amyloid formation using surface plasmon resonance
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and apart from the individual suffering AD also causes a large economic burden for society. AD is associated with progressive neurodegeneration and atrophy of the brain. LÄS MER
