  1. 6. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE

  3. 7. Epidemiology and genotyping of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with amplicon-based Nanopore-sequencing : Creating a panel of clinically relevant genes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Max Koivistoinen Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Amplicon-sequencing; Genomic typing; MRSA; MSSA; MinION;

    Abstract : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a variant of the more common Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), an opportunistic pathogen a portion of the human population carries as normal bacterial flora. When an outbreak of MRSA occurs, it is often important to determine if and how these strains are related to each other. READ MORE

  4. 8. Phenotype and function of imiquimod-treated MUTZ-3 derived Langerhans cells in potential psoriatic 3D skin model

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Emilie Allentoft Schousboe; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D models; imiquimod; Langerhans cells; MUTZ-3 cell line; pro-inflammatory cytokines; psoriasis;

    Abstract : Upon encounter of an antigen, epidermis-resident Langerhans cells (LCs) become activated and present the processed antigen to T cells of the draining lymph nodes, resulting in tolerogenic or inflammatory responses. In psoriasis plaques, skin homeostasis is disrupted and replaced by an inflammatory dermatitis. READ MORE

  5. 9. Investigating the crosstalk between estrogen receptor beta in colorectal cancer and tumor-associated macrophages

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alicia Bodin; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen; macrophages; colorectal cancer; qPCR; cell culture; östrogen; makrofager; tjocktarmscancer; qPCR; cellodling;

    Abstract : Tjock-och ändtarmscancer (kolorektalcancer) är den tredje vanligaste cancertypen och den näst vanligaste cancer-relaterade dödsorsaken i världen. Östrogen har visat sig ha en skyddande roll mot kolorektalcancer och östrogenreceptor beta är den dominerande östrogenreceptorn i normalt kolonepitel. READ MORE

  6. 10. Hypoxia and hematopoietic stem cell control with the substance Adaptaquin : An evaluation of hematopoietic stem cell’s proliferation and differentiation in artificially induced hypoxia

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Jens Christiansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Adaptaquin; Flow cytometry; Hematopoietic stem cells; Hypoxia; Hypoxia inducible factor; Prolyl hydroxylase; Adaptaquin; Flödescytometri; Hematopoetiska stamceller; Hypoxi; Hypoxi inducerande faktor; Prolylhydroxylas;

    Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have historically been difficult to maintain ex vivo with many attempts to culture them in vitro by mimicking their natural biological environment. Providing a hypoxic environment is one way to achieve this goal and can be performed by using hypoxia stimulating compounds that inhibits the degradation of HIF1a which plays an important role in regulating hypoxia.
