  1. 1. Relations between intracellular pH and gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, after two types of anaerobic treatment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Mingmin Tao; [2023]
    Keywords : tea leaves; intracellular pH; gamma-aminobutyric acid; glutamate; decarboxylase; fluorescent dye;

    Abstract : Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world. In Gabaron tea, the levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are more than 1.3 mg/g. In the human body, GABA lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels. READ MORE

  3. 2. Phenotype and function of imiquimod-treated MUTZ-3 derived Langerhans cells in potential psoriatic 3D skin model

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Emilie Allentoft Schousboe; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D models; imiquimod; Langerhans cells; MUTZ-3 cell line; pro-inflammatory cytokines; psoriasis;

    Abstract : Upon encounter of an antigen, epidermis-resident Langerhans cells (LCs) become activated and present the processed antigen to T cells of the draining lymph nodes, resulting in tolerogenic or inflammatory responses. In psoriasis plaques, skin homeostasis is disrupted and replaced by an inflammatory dermatitis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Gene expression and mechanical properties regulating two phenotypes of horse’s skin appendages: hoof strength and hair structure

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Asmaa Alameddine; [2022]
    Keywords : horse; hair; hoof quality; RNA-seq; gene expression; mechanical properties; barefoot racing;

    Abstract : Background: The hair follicle and hoof are two parts of the horse’s skin appendages that emerge from the dermis and epidermis. Different phenotypes characterize these two integument structures and determine their quality. In this project, we were interested in studying two phenotypes, the strength of the hoof and two types of horse hairs. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of skin care ingredients on keratinocytes : - Interplay between osmotic stress, cell viability, and gene expression towards increased understanding of keratinocyte differentiation

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Kassem Awad; [2021]
    Keywords : Cell viability; Keratinocytes; Osmotic stress; qPCR; Skin; Water activity;

    Abstract : The epidermis is composed of multiple cell strata where viable keratinocytes, in the basal layer (stratum basale (SB)), go through a range of steps with the final stage of being dead corneocytes in the outer most layer (stratum corneum (SC)). The differentiation, which can be thought of as programmed cell death, include several key processes that are essential for an intact skin barrier.
