11. Synthesis and investigation of bacterial effector molecules
Abstract : During infections, bacterial microorganisms initiate profound interactions with mammalian host cells. Usually defense mechanisms of the host destroy intruding bacteria in rapid manner. However, many bacterial pathogens have evolved in a way to avoid these mechanisms. READ MORE

12. Management of Ischemia and Brain Death-Associated Injuries in Porcine Kidney Grafts
Abstract : Organs from deceased donors after brain death (BD) remain the major source of organs for transplantation. The catastrophic event of BD and the inevitable consequences of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) are linked to impaired graft quality and transplantation outcome. READ MORE

13. Clinical studies in severe heart failure : neurohormonal, electrolyte and metabolic aspects
Abstract : Congestive heart failure is a common and complex syndrome with a poor prognosis. Although heart disease is usually the primary event, the clinical syndrome is characterised by several extra-cardiac manifestations. Neurohormonal activation seems to play a crucial role for these manifestations and the progression of the disease. READ MORE

14. Pathogenic mechanisms affecting mitochondrial DNA replication and transcription
Abstract : Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles fundamental to life and health. In mitochondria, energy from the food we eat is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which in turn is used as a source of chemical energy to drive a multitude of cellular reactions. READ MORE

15. Cardioprotective treatment strategies
Abstract : In myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, complement activation, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release contribute to myocardial injury. ATP is degraded into adenosine by the enzyme apyrase, and adenosine possesses cardioprotective properties. READ MORE
