  1. 1. Laminin-332 Regulates Expression of CC chemokine ligand 7 and 20 in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Bolaños; [2021]
    Keywords : Laminin-332; chemokines; endothelial cells; gene expression; protein expression;

    Abstract : Cells that cover the body’s inner and outer surfaces are called epithelial cells. Endothelial cells are specialised epithelial cells which, among other things, line the inside of blood vessels. The endothelium is anchored to the basement membrane through molecules called laminins.

  3. 2. Effects of Different Laminins on Human Neural Progenitor Cells Cultured in 3D Electrospun Fibers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Karl Vesterlund; [2019]
    Keywords : two-dimensional; three-dimensional; Alamar Blue; cell culture; drug development; extra-cellular matrix; electrospinning; immunocytochemistry; laminin; polycaprolactone; polymerase chain reaction; western blot; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : A low success rate of drug candidates in clinical trials, and especially in brain research, motivates development of better screening models. Hence, in neuroscience and many other fields of Life Science, development of more physiological relevant experimental cell-based models is motivated. READ MORE

  4. 3. Laminin motifs inserted into a recombinantspider drag-line silk protein increase theproliferation of human dermal fibroblasts

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Carl-Olof Hillerdal; [2009]
    Keywords : 4repCt; Spider dragline silk; RGD; YISGR; IKVAV; extracellular matrix; fibroblasts; biomaterial; laminin;

    Abstract : Spider silk is a promising biomaterial. It is highly biocompatible, non-toxic, most likely naturally degraded by the host organism over time and strong and resilient. Importantly, it consists of proteins and new motifs can relatively easily be added. READ MORE

  5. 4. Cellular localization of the blood-brain barrier in the brainstem: Area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarius

    University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Sara Willumsen Fransson; [2008]
    Keywords : Laminin; RECA1; EBA; Glia cells; NPY; Immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : The blood-brain barrier regulates the transport into the brain and protects the central nerve system (CNS) from toxics substances. However some areas of the brain, called circumventricular organs (CVO), lack the blood-brain barrier. READ MORE
