  1. 11. Validation of a 3D culture model for toxicity studies in malignant and non-cancerous cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för immunteknologi

    Author : Kajsa Andreasson Dahlgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Dose-response; potency; in vitro; 2D model; 3D model; cancer; MEK inhibitor; trametinib; A549; LL47; Western blot; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. READ MORE

  3. 12. Simulation of THz Quantum Cascade Lasers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Viktor Rindert; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have since their invention in 1994 become a crucial source for mid-infrared and THz radiation. Mid-infrared QCLs have achieved room temperature operation while THz QCLs have not. As such, simulations are an important tool in order to achieve a THz QCL operational at room temperature.

  5. 14. Why coconut water is both a biostimulant and an anti-cancer agent

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Estefany Reyes Estevez; [2021]
    Keywords : Cocos nucifera; phytohormones; cytokinins; kinetin; kinetin riboside; zeatin; iP; functional foods; cancer; cell cycle; micropropagation; tissue culture;

    Abstract : Coconut water (CW) naturally contains phytohormones called cytokinins, which exist in different forms like kinetin, kinetin riboside and zeatin. The bioactive cytokinins in plants are the zeatin-type, and these natural compounds exert many vital plant physiological effects. READ MORE

  6. 15. Mathematical modelling andsimulation for tumour growth andangiogenesis

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för matematik och datavetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : René Edgardo Luna; [2021]
    Keywords : Multiscale modelling; tumor growth; angiogenesis; agent-based model; variance reduction;

    Abstract : Cancer is a complex illness that affects millions of people every year. Amongst the most frequently encountered variants of this illness are solid tumours. The growth of solid tumours depends on a large number of factors such as oxygen concentration, cell reproduction, cell movement, cell death, and vascular environment. READ MORE
