1. SAR studies of Capsazepinoid Bronchodilators The B-ring and the C-region
Abstract : Capsazepine and similar compounds, capsazepinoids, were shown to be general inhibitors of agonist (leukotriene D4, histamine, acetylcholine, prostaglandin D2) evoked constriction of human small airway preparations. The mechanism of action remains to be elucidated, but established bronchodilator principles, e.g. READ MORE

2. ROBUST DETECTION AND SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF SIGNALS WITH APPLICATIONS IN SPECTROSCOPY
Abstract : Modern spectroscopic techniques, such as nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy, rely heavily on statistical signal processing systems for decision making and information extraction. The first part of this thesis introduces novel robust algorithms for detection, estimation, and classification of signals obtained through these spectroscopic techniques. READ MORE

3. Lyso-PC and macrophage interplay. Scavenging through the fatty side of atherosclerosis
Abstract : Atherosclerosis is triggered by LDL entrapment in the vessel wall. Oxidation and enzymatic processing of LDL give rise to inflammatory mediators such as lyso-PC. These inflammatory mediators attract monocytes into the vessel wall where they differentiate into macrophages. The macrophages adopt different phenotypes depending on the environment. READ MORE

4. Pharmacophore Refinement and Lead Optimization - A study of the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptors
Abstract : Structure activity relationship studies of synthetic flavone derivatives have been utilized to refine and evaluate a pharmacophore model of the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptors, originally developed by Zhang et al. (Drug Des. Discovery 1995, 12, 193-248). READ MORE

5. Costimulation Blockade in Experimental Transplantation
Abstract : Transplantation is the only cure for end-stage organ failure. With the transplantation follows the need for continuous treatment with immunosuppressive agents for as long as the graft functions, which entails major side effects. Less toxic treatments are therefore in great demand. Preferably, the treatment should also be limited in time. READ MORE
