16. Commensal microbes, immune reactivity and childhood inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammation of unknown etiology, but immune activation by the commensal microbiota probably plays a major role. The two major categories of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. READ MORE

17. On bacteria Persisting Root Canal Treament. Identification and potential mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobial measures
Abstract : Anti-microbial treatment of infected root canals using mechanical instrumentation and chemicals for disinfection does not always lead to complete bacterial elimination and treatment failure may therefore result. As certain bacteria appear more resilient to endodontic treatment than others, the present thesis addresses the species that can most frequently be isolated after treatment and explores mechanisms, which could potentially afford these organisms resistance to anti-microbial treatment measures.

18. Structural Studies of Binding Proteins: Investigations of Flexibility, Specificity and Stability
Abstract : Binding proteins are present both in gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. They are the recognition components of the ABC transport systems that transport different nutrients into the cell, and are in some cases also involved in chemotaxis. READ MORE

19. Valorization of Kraft Lignin by Fractionation and Chemical Modifications for Different Applications
Abstract : AbstractLignin is one of the most abundant biopolymers. Approximately 70 million tons of technical lignin is generated annually, but only little is used for products other than energy. The complexity of lignin hinders full utilization in high-value products and materials. READ MORE

20. Regulation of innate and acquired immunity in infants by commensal bacteria
Abstract : The incidence of atopic diseases in children is steadily increasing in the industrialised world along with an improved hygienic lifestyle. The gastrointestinal flora may be of specific importance for the proper maturation of the immune system and for the induction of tolerance, in which CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role.
