  1. 1. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  3. 2. Synthesis and Investigation of Nitrile-Containing Polymers Inspired by Lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Tobias Lindborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Lignin; Polymer; Renewable; Bioresource; Glass transition temperature; Nitrile; Polymer technology; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The lignin-inspired derivatives coniferyl aldehyde and sinapyl aldehyde were used to prepare nitrile-containing methacrylate monomers with the aim to synthesize bio-based polymers exhibiting high glass transition temperatures (Tgs). The aldehydes were initially transformed to the corresponding nitriles and then underwent methacrylation before being polymerised by free-radical polymerisation. READ MORE

  4. 3. How much can the cross-linking of chromatographic media affect the porosity?

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Carl Östling; [2022]
    Keywords : Liquid chromatography; Size exclusion chromatography; Agar; Chromatographic resins; Distribution coefficient; Vätskekromatografi; Storleksuteslutningskromatografi; Agar; Stationär fas; Fördelningskoefficient;

    Abstract : Vätskekromatografi är vanligt förekommande metod för separationer av molekyler inom bioteknik. Det finns inom begreppet vätskekromatografi många olika tekniker och vilken specifik teknik som är mest lämplig för en given separation beror på egenskaperna hos den avsedda målmolekylen. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessment of a Light-Activated Adhesive for Hernia Mesh Repair

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Ludivine Amathieu; [2021]
    Keywords : Intraperitoneal laparoscopic ventral hernia repair; Light-activated adhesive; Acrylate conversion; Cross-linking quantification; Fixation strength performance;

    Abstract : Background and objectives: TISSIUM light-activated adhesive was investigated as an alternative to tissue-penetrating products to fix meshes in intraperitoneal laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. The objective of this study was to ensure efficient polymer light activation through commercial meshes and to assess the acute and chronic fixation strength of the light-activated adhesive in a porcine model in comparison to commercial fixation products.

  6. 5. Development of a porous material from cellulose nanofibrils

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Hedda Törneman; [2021]
    Keywords : CNF; cellulose nanofibrils; xerogels; aerogels; cross-linking; porous materials; polymers;

    Abstract : Cellulose nanofibrils are a biobased and renewable material with potential to be used in many different applications. Such applications include air filtration, absorption of liquids, and thermal insulation.  To be used for these applications the cellulose nanofibrils must form a porous and dry material. READ MORE
