This thesis explores different avenues to develop insurmountable antagonists for CC Chemokine Receptors, such as CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5.

This thesis describes the development and optimization of the first molecular tools to study the enzyme PLA2G4E.

Tin electrodeposition applications have rapidly evolved in the past 25 years.

The deeper understanding of an organism's pathology is important for developing treatments. Over centuries of systematic research, clinical researchers have demonstrated that the more information they acquire about the cellular properties and their organisation in the tissue, the better they can understand…

Lysosomal acid glucosylceramidase (GBA1) is a lysosomal enzyme that degrades glucolipids with its main substrate being glucosylceramide (GlcCer). Defects in the GBA1 gene lead to glycosphingolipidosis Gaucher disease (GD), in which the hydrolysis of GlcCer is impaired and therefore, it accumulates in…

Low-carbon (LE) technologies have a significant potential to reduce the total carbon emissions in China.

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.

Thermodynamics is one of the founding scientific pillars that has helped us better understand heat engines, biology, ecosystems, and even black holes. While it fundamentally describes large systems by examining the bulk behavior of their constituents, it is anchored in the statistical equivalence of…

In this thesis the links between allergy and intestinal health, the gut microbiome (GM), and external factors were studied by exploring the metabolome in longitudinal clinical studies and in vitro models.
