A prospective birth cohort (BAMSE) of 4,089 infants was followed for 4 years using parental questionnaires at ages 2 months, 1, 2...
The human antimicrobial protein hCAP18/LL37 in wound healing and cell proliferation
(2005-08-26)
Epithelia constitute the principal barriers separating the host and the potentially injurious environment, and defence of this interface is therefore essential. Antimicrobial peptides are key effector molecules of the ...
Occupational exposure to pesticides and risk of leukemia among offspring in Costa Rica
(2006-11-03)
assessment models. A sensitivity analysis suggested satisfactory robustness of the model weights. In the case-control study, 876 mothers and 762 fathers were included in the analysis. Mothers' exposures to any pesticides anytime and during year before...
Synthesis of indole and oxindole derivates incorporating pyrrolidino, pyrrolo or imidazolo moieties
(2004-11-26)
The focus of this thesis is on the synthesis of oxindole- and indole-derivatives incorporating pyrrolidins, pyrroles or imidazoles moieties.
Pyrrolidino-2-spiro-3'-oxindole derivatives have been prepared in high ...

binding to the inner mitochondrial membrane, followed by its release into the cytosol through pores in the outer mitochondrial membrane - an event that is usually triggered by proapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, such as Bid, Bax and Bak. Cytochrome c...
Chromatin structure and histone modifications in gene regulation
(2006-11-24)
In the living cell, DNA is densely packed into a chromatin structure constituting nucleosomal arrays. One nucleosome core particle includes a disc shaped protein octamer consisting of pairs of histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. 146 bp of DNA is wrapped...
