Plant Innate Immunity: Genetically engineered Brassica napus MINELESS plants and its effect on insect and sulphur stresses

The ability to discriminate between self and non-self is a key feature of all living organisms, and forms the basis for the activation of innate defence mechanisms against attempted microbial infection. Interestingly, innate immunity in plants and animals shows striking parallels, suggesting tha...

The Function of Cyclin Dependent Kinases in the DNA Damage Response and Maintenance of Genome Stability

Project Summary Genome instability is one of the hallmarks of cancer. However, the mechanisms that protect the genome against spontaneous gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) are not well understood. In recent years several pathways have been identifi ed that protect the genome against sponta...

Reversible protein adsorption to membranes and nanoparticles

The delivery of protein-drugs using nanoparticles is an attractive therapeutic concept. The delivery would be greatly improved if the protein was firmly attached to the nanoparticle outside the target cell, and released when the nanoparticles enter the ce ll. Such a mechanism would rely on differ...
