1. Cellular targets of HAMLET, their role in tumor cell death and therapeutic potential
Sammanfattning : Protein-lipid complexes have broad and specific effects against cancers of different origins. HAMLET (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells) is a complex of partially unfolded α-lactalbumin and oleic acid that kills a wide range of tumor cells but leaves healthy differentiated cells unaffected.

2. Disturbed Islet Function and Alterations in Islet Protein Expression
Sammanfattning : Pancreatic β-cells sense the concentration of glucose in the systemic circulation through metabolism of the sugar molecule. Failure to correlate the blood sugar concentration to an appropriate metabolic signal disrupts the function of the β-cell as a controller of glucose homeostasis and may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

3. Surfactants based on natural products - enzymatic synthesis and functional characterization
Sammanfattning : Surfactants are molecules that contain a water-soluble and afat-soluble part. They have important functions in productssuch as detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and foods aswell as in many industrial processes. Surfactants are used onvery large scale, which makes it important to decrease theirimpact on the environment. LÄS MER
4. Shape Control Synthesis and Microstructure Studies of Metal Nanoparticles
Sammanfattning : Metal nanoparticles have been extensively studied in recent years due to their unique chemical, biological and physical properties. Gold (Au) and palladium (Pd) nanoparticles are two of the most popular materials because Au nanoparticles have a strong localized surface plasmon resonance effect and Pd nanoparticles have high hydrogen adsorption and chemical catalytic capacities.

5. Lipid Self-Assembly and Lipase Action
Sammanfattning : In this thesis the action of the Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase (TLL) on "real" substrates, that is, lipid aggregates - vesicles, micelles, emulsions, gels and liquid crystals is discussed. Even for a pure triolein, the system becomes quite complex as the lipolytic process starts, both in terms of structure and composition, involving 5 additional components - diolein (DO), monoolein (MO), oleic acid (OA), sodium oleate (NaO) and glycerol .
