  1. 1. Autophagy and senescence in primary human bronchial epithelial cells in the context of COPD

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Annie Vegraeus; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third largest cause of death worldwide, with its most prominent risk factor being inhalation of smoke and pollutants. In this project, we studied two processes that are involved in COPD: autophagy and cellular senescence. READ MORE

  5. 4. Crystallization, optimization, and crystal structure determination of ligands in complex with galectin-8N

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : George Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biochemistry; Structural Biochemistry; Galectin-8; Protein Crystallization; Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the protein “galectin-8N” which is a lectin protein that takes part in several physiological functions such as inflammation, autophagy, cell migration, and more. The project has three objectives: to observe and increase the reproducibility of crystallization of two variants (wildtype and mutant) of the human protein galectin-8N and to analyze the binding site when three different novel ligands are each inserted.

  6. 5. The roles of heparan sulfate in autophagy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Asifa Khan; [2022]
    Keywords : Heparan sulfate; LC3-II; p62; Autophagy;

    Abstract : Background: Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process to eliminate damaged components from the cells. It also provides a survival mechanism in stressed conditions and limits growth processes. Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide attached to different proteoglycans. READ MORE
