  2. 1. Exploring Novel Catalytic Chalcogenide Antioxidants

    Author : Henrik Johansson; Lars Engman; Helena Grennberg; Troels Skrydstrup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antioxidant; tellurium; selenium; catalytic; toxicity; ROS; neutrophil; glutathione peroxidase mimic; macrophage.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Kemi med inriktning mot organisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and evaluation of regenerable chalcogen containing antioxidants. Variously substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]selenophene-5-ol antioxidants were evaluated in order to gain information about structure/reactivity-relationships. READ MORE

  4. 2. Photoemission and Characterization of Neutrophils and Nanoparticles : Energy Mapping and Elemental Composition with sub-µm Resolution

    Author : Andreas Skallberg; Kajsa Uvdal; Christelle Prinz; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Imaging and visualization of cells and tissues are important when studying various biological phenomena. The ability to provide spatial information with molecular and chemical specificity may increase our insight and understanding of biological problems within life sciences. READ MORE

  5. 3. Imaging and Spectroscopic Mapping of Blood Cell Activity : Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

    Author : Kalle Bunnfors; Kajsa Uvdal; Caroline Brommesson; Christelle Prinz; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neutrophils; Neutrophil extracellular traps; fluorescence; XPS; TEM;

    Abstract : Imaging and visualization of cell activity when exposed to nanomaterial are of main importance, when investigating biological response to a wide range of biomaterials from medical implants to smart nanoprobes. The ability to provide molecular and chemical information with spatial resolution in the region of sub-µm leads to increased insight and understanding of these biological challenges. READ MORE

  6. 4. C4b-binding protein: Identification of binding sites and a possible function of the interaction with protein S

    Author : Joanna Webb; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical chemistry; apoptosis; binding sites; complement; C4b-binding protein; protein S; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is plasma protein C4b-binding protein (C4BP). C4BP is an important regulator of the classical pathway of the complement system, a cascade-like system comprised of over 35 proteins, which partakes in the defence against micro-organisms and is involved of clearance of immune-complexes and apoptotic cells.

  7. 5. Regulation of human eosinophil transmigration across lung epithelium

    Author : Lixin Liu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Eosinophils; regulation; migration; epithelial cells; lung; calcium; CD11b CD18; neutrophils; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Eosinophil infiltration into the lung tissues and airways is a hallmark of allergic asthma. To reach the lung lumen, eosinophils migrate across the vascular endothelium, through the interstitial matrix and across lung epithelium. READ MORE
