  5. 4. Coupling between iron and humic substances in a land-sea transitional zone in the northern Baltic Sea

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anna Osterman; [2023]
    Keywords : Iron; Humic substances; Dissolved organic carbon; Baltic Sea; Rivers;

    Abstract : In marine ecosystems around the world, iron (Fe) is a well-studied and important trace element which has been found to stimulate phytoplankton and cyanobacteria growth, as well as limit nitrogen fixation and being essential for Legionella pneumophila which is known as the main cause of Legionnaires’ disease. Fe also contributes to the brownification of freshwater and has recently been documented to increase in concentration in rivers in Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a PNA-drug conjugate for pretargeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs

    Author : Astrid Haraldsson; [2023]
    Keywords : PNA; pretargeting; cancer therapy; cytotoxic payload;

    Abstract : One of the major challenges in cancer treatment is delivering high enough doses of active substance specifically to cancer cells without accumulation in healthy organs. Pretargeting has emerged as a potential solution, where the delivery of a cancer recognizing (primary) agent and a cancer killing (secondary) agent are separated. READ MORE
