2. 11. Isolation and characterization of lipid-associated and neurosecretory polypeptides

   Author : Margareta Stark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Lipid-interacting proteins play important roles in all living organisms. This thesis focuses on isolation and characterization of an enzyme in the triacylglycerol biosynthesis (phosphatidic acid phosphatase, PAP), hydrophobic polypeptides in bile, and polypeptides in cerebrospinal fluid.

5. 13. Tunable and modular assembly of polypeptides and polypeptide-hybrid biomaterials

   Author : Christopher Aronsson; Daniel Aili; Karin Enander; Staffan Dånmark; Dennis Löwik; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Biomaterials are materials that are specifically designed to be in contact with biological systems and have for a long time been used in medicine. Examples of biomaterials range from sophisticated prostheses used for replacing outworn body parts to ordinary contact lenses. Currently it is possible to create biomaterials that can e.g. READ MORE

6. 14. From Macromolecular Design to Supramolecular Self-assembly

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; micelles; core crystallinity; cyclic polypeptides; electroactivity; redox-responsiveness; triggered dissociation; loading; release; N-carboxyanhydride polymerization; polyesters; poly ε-decalactone ; Självorganisation; miceller; kärnkristallinitet; cykliska polypeptider; elektroaktivitet; tidsberoende dissociation; inkapsling; frisläppning; N-karboxyanhydrid polymerisation; polyestrar; poly ε-dekalakton ; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Advancements in drug delivery have enabled a wider array of prevention, control and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Drug delivery systems have the possibility of encapsulating drugs with low solubility, delivering them to specific locations in the body as well as obtaining a controlled and sustained drug release.

7. 15. Midkine - a host defence protein

   Author : Sara Nordin; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial polypeptides; Midkine; antibacterial; antifungal; innate immunity; epithelial surfaces;

   Abstract : Every day we encounter many potentially harmful microbes in our environment. The epithelial linings constitute an anatomical barrier protecting us and they also produce antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) that act as a chemical barrier. These AMPs are small and positively charged, killing a broad range of microbes rapidly. READ MORE
