1. Insect immunity : fractionation and characterization of some immune proteins induced by primary infections of giant silk moth pupae
Sammanfattning : A potent antibacterial activity in hemolymph of giant silk moth pupae is demonstrated. The system is inducible and RNA and protein synthesis are needed for the expression of the activity. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were found to be susceptible. The activities could be selectively inhibited, indicating a multicomponent system. LÄS MER
2. Systems Analysis of the Protein Secretory Pathway in Yeast and Human Cells
Sammanfattning : The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, later in nineteen century the cell theory was developed as all organisms are composed of one or more cells. Since then, many tools and experimental methods have been developed to dissect and characterize the cell components which resulted in established solid scientific fields such as biochemistry, molecular cell biology and genetics.

3. Molecular aspects of pheromone evolution in moths
Sammanfattning : Moths rely on the sense of smell (olfaction) as the main sensory input system in search for potential food sources and in selection of suitable females by males. Specific pheromones are fundamental to the reproductive isolation of species and consequently the olfactory system of moths has evolved to a high level of sensitivity and specificity. LÄS MER
4. Fatty Acyl Reductases and Fatty Acyl Desaturases. Deciphering the biosynthesis of species-specific moth female sex pheromones from common fatty acids
Sammanfattning : Moths (Lepidoptera) are dependent on female produced pheromones, chemical signals, for attracting a mate. Pheromones are most commonly made up by saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acid derived alcohols, acetates, and/or aldehydes that are produced by a set of enzymes in the female pheromone gland.

5. Valorization of Low Value Organic Waste by the use of Black Soldier Fly Larvae – Bioconversion of Sludge from the Pulp and Paper Industry
Sammanfattning : The current economic system is not sustainable, as it is based on a linear flow of resources from extraction, production, use and disposal. The linear flow of resources must be replaced with a circular flow where waste is seen as a resource. LÄS MER
