  2. 1. The glycobiology of human adenovirus infections : implications for tropism and treatment

    Author : Naresh Chandra; Niklas Arnberg; Lars Frängsmyr; Gunnel Haldén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; denovirus; cellular receptor; glycosaminoglycan; sialic acid; decoy receptors; tropism; epidemic keratoconjunctivitis; antiviral drugs; GAG-mimetic; obesity; medicinsk virologi; Medical Virology;

    Abstract : Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are common human pathogens, causing gastrointestinal, ocular, and respiratory infections on a regular basis. Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a severe ocular infection for which no approved antivirals are available. READ MORE

  4. 2. Experimental multiuser secure quantum communications

    Author : Jan Bogdanski; Mohamed Bourennane; Nobuyuki Imoto; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum key distribution; multiparty quantum secret sharing; Sagnac interferometer; “plug play” QKD; Passive Optical Network PON ; decoy states; single mode fiber birefringence compensation; quantum bit error rate; visibility; Physics; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : We are currently experiencing a rapid development of quantum information, a new branch of science, being an interdisciplinary of quantum physics, information theory, telecommunications, computer science, and many others. This new science branch was born in the middle of the eighties, developed rapidly during the nineties, and in the current decade has brought a technological breakthrough in creating secure quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum secret sharing, and exciting promises in diverse technological fields.

  5. 3. Inflammatory cytokines and NFκB in Alzheimer’s disease

    Author : Linda Fisher; Kerstin Iverfeldt; Illana Gozes; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; β-amyloid; interleukin-1; interleukin-6; cell-penetrating peptide; PNA; Neurochemistry; Neurokemi;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The main constituent of the senile plaques is the neurotoxic β-amyloid peptide. READ MORE

  6. 4. The functional organization of nuclear membrane proteins and development of new technology for studies of cell signaling

    Author : Ricardo A. Figueroa; Einar Hallberg; Yosef Gruenbaum; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : The eukaryotic cell is defined by the nucleus, which is delimited by a double membrane structure termed the nuclear envelope (NE). The NE is implicated in a multitude of different processes, for example chromatin organization. READ MORE

  7. 5. Engineered extracellular vesicles for biomedical applications

    Author : Dhanu Gupta; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nature's very own nanoparticle, Extracellular vesicles (EVs), are lipid membrane-enclosed vesicles encapsulated with diverse biomolecules and are actively secreted by all cell types for intercellular communication. The unique properties of EVs, such as stability in circulation, biocompatibility, immune tolerance, and the ability to cross biological barriers, render EVs a next-generation drug delivery tool.
