  1. 1. Computational prediction of cell-cell interactions in the brain-tumour microenvironment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Paula Camargo Romera; [2023]
    Keywords : Cancer; Glioblastoma; Computational Biology; Bioinformatics; Microenvironment; Brain tumour; Interactions; Systems Biology;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the fastest-growing, and the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. It is normally treated with surgery and radio- or chemotherapy, but the approximate life expectancy is of 15 months with a high probability of cancer recurring. Therefore, there is a need for decreasing its severity. READ MORE

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Elnaz Bakhtiyari; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an aging-related neurodegenerative disorder with large implications for society and individuals. AD is a multi-factor disorder, with these factors having a direct or indirect correlation with each other. READ MORE

  4. 3. Simulations of Astrocyte Induction by Transient Overexpression

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jonas Petersson; [2019]
    Keywords : astrocyte; overexpression; sox9; nfia; nfib; n-cor; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Astrocytes are one of the most common types of cells found in the central nervous system, and they play an important supportive role for neurons and other brain cells. In order to obtain astrocytes for medical or experimental purposes, some protocols enable the production of astrocytes from stem cells, but it is of interest to be able to produce astrocytes from fibroblasts, a cell type found in the skin.

  6. 5. The influence of astrocytes and their culturing environment on blood-brain barrier modeling in a microfluidic chip

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Michaela Hällevall; [2017]
    Keywords : Blood-brain barrier; Organs-on-chip; BBB-on-chip; Astrocytes; Hydrogels; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective barrier separating the brain from the circulatory system. The physical barrier is built up by a monolayer of endothelial cells, which is the main component used for in vitro modeling. READ MORE
