  1. 1. Comparison and optimization of extracellular vesicle (EV) capturing on functional thin films for their molecular profiling

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Prattakorn Metem; [2023]
    Keywords : extracellular vesicle; plasmonic nanohole array; atomic force microscopy; fluorescence analysis; extracellulära vesiklar; nanohålsuppsättning; atomkraftsmikroskopi; fluorescensanalys;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer encapsulated nanoparticles which have emerged as an excellent source of biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancer. However, they are highly heterogeneous in their molecular compositions which remains a major challenge hindering the utilization of their biomarker potential. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Judging a loaf by its appearance : A protocol to study bread and bread-like fragments based on the study cases of Gamla Uppsala, Valsgärde, and Gnista

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia

    Author : Sara Scaglia; [2023]
    Keywords : Bread; Organic charred remains; Uppland; Experimental archaeology; Archaeobotany; Lipid analyses.; Bröd; organiska förkolnade lämningar; Uppland; experimentell arkeologi; arkeobotanik; lipidanalyser;

    Abstract : Bread is an important cultural and social marker, and it occurs in many contexts, often preserved as carbonised. However, as bread fragments are typically small and anonymous, their total value of them is not appreciated. Often bread material is grouped simply as organic and not considered. READ MORE

  5. 4. Diffusion and Camera-Noise Modelling for Analysis of Single-Particle Tracking Movies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Erik Clarkson; [2022]
    Keywords : reaction-diffusion; camera-noise modelling; single-particle tracking; Gillespie simulations; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Interactions between T-cells and other body cells is an essential part of the immune system. It involves the binding between surface receptors of the two cells. Specifically, T-cell receptors (TCRs) bind onto pMHC (peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the partnering cell surface. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of Pre-Analytical Processes on Lipemic Whole Blood Samples Used in Forensic Toxicology

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

    Author : Emily Elenstål; [2022]
    Keywords : lipemia; post-mortal; whole blood; benzodiazepines; Intralipid; liquid-liquid extraction; solid-phase extraction;

    Abstract : Introduction: Post-mortem whole blood samples differ greatly in quality, lipemia is one cause of concern in toxicological analyses. Around 4 % of all samples sent to RMV are given a notation of lipemic content. READ MORE
