21. Immune recognition molecules in synaptic plasticity and regeneration of spinal motoneurons
Abstract : This thesis is based on the emerging concept that pattern recognition molecules, originally characterized in the immune system, may be expressed and used by neurons to mediate non-immune functions. In line with this concept, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and certain complements proteins have been implicated in synaptic plasticity in the developing visual system. READ MORE

22. Structural characterization of proteins to investigate their roles in diseases: Focus on MID & LTA4H
Abstract : Protein molecules are responsible for many biological functions in cells. In order to fulfill their various biological roles, these chain-like molecules must fold into precise three-dimensional shapes. The knowledge of accurate molecular structures is a prerequisite for rational drug design and for structure based functional studies. READ MORE

23. Neutrophil Function and Signaling Induced by Ligands for the Formyl Peptide Receptor 2
Abstract : Neutrophil pattern recognition receptors belonging to the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family play a role in the processes of initiation as well as resolution of inflammatory processes. Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) in neutrophils is such a receptor and plays an important role in inflammation. READ MORE

25. Hsp70 in immunotherapy : a potential vector in cancer and viral vaccines
Abstract : New efficient vaccines against cancers and infectious diseases are in demand. In 1993 heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) purified from tumour was shown to elicit tumour protection in mice. It was also shown that the protection was not mediated by the hsp70 itself, but by tumour-specific peptides bound to the molecule. READ MORE
