  1. 1. Gene expression editing in myeloma cell lines using CRISPR/Cas9 technique

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Wilma Wadman; [2023]
    Keywords : BMPR1A; BMPR2; bone morphogenetic protein; gene knockout; multiple myeloma;

    Abstract : Multiple myeloma, or myeloma, is a bone marrow cancer which characterizes by uncontrolled proliferation of mutant plasma cells. It is a disease that claims many lives every year, mostly due to the absence of curative treatment. Finding a suitable treatment is therefor of great importance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Green and red fluorescent protein tagging of endogenous proteins in glioblastoma using the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jenny Lindvall; [2016]
    Keywords : Glioblastoma; Cancer stem cells; CRISPR Cas9; Nestin; GFAP; GFP; RFP;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma multiforme is the most malignant primary brain tumor that affects adults, recognized by the World Health Organization as an aggressive grade IV astrocytoma. Patients diagnosed with this type of tumor are left with a poor prognosis even with the most advanced treatment available. READ MORE

  5. 4. Microwave phantoms for Craniotomy and bone defect monitoring

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Velander Jacob; [2015]
    Keywords : agar; BMP; body morphogenetic protein; bone implant; brain phantom; craniosynostosis; craniotomy; cube phantom; phantom; re-growing bone; skin phantom; skull phantom; tissue;

    Abstract : To facilitate examination for osteogenesis and follow up after craniotomy similar head models called phantoms are made. The head phantom should emulate the tissues from a real head. This requires that the realistic head phantom have the same electrical properties as relative permittivity (dielectric constant) and conductivity. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Computational Model for Fracture Healing Integrated with Mechanical Stimulation and Growth Factors

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Cassandra Jernberg; [2014]
    Keywords : Computational modelling; Non-union bone fracture; Fracture healing; Growth factors; BMP-2; rhBMP-2; Mechanical loading; FEM;

    Abstract : Non-union bone fractures are a standing problem for clinical treatments. It has been found that the exogenous growth factor recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) induces bone healing in potential non-union fractures. However, the currently used clinical dose of rhBMP-2 is high and causes side-effects. READ MORE
