  1. 1. Detection and quantification of post-translational modifications in non-invasive samples : Phosphoproteins as biomarkers and a market analysis of protein quantification technologies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sammi Baudin; Hillevi Fjellström; Aron Kraft; Erica Lamberg; Måns Rosenbaum; Hanna Sjöstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Phorphorylation; Proteomics; Biomarkers; Phosphoproteins; PTM; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; Cancer; xMAP; SIMOA; NULISA; PEA; ELISA; Mass spectrometry; SomaScan;

    Abstract : Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can be a sign and/or cause of disease. These modified proteins have the potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. However, research in the field is limited. READ MORE

  3. 2. Comparison and optimization of extracellular vesicle (EV) capturing on functional thin films for their molecular profiling

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Prattakorn Metem; [2023]
    Keywords : extracellular vesicle; plasmonic nanohole array; atomic force microscopy; fluorescence analysis; extracellulära vesiklar; nanohålsuppsättning; atomkraftsmikroskopi; fluorescensanalys;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer encapsulated nanoparticles which have emerged as an excellent source of biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancer. However, they are highly heterogeneous in their molecular compositions which remains a major challenge hindering the utilization of their biomarker potential. READ MORE

  4. 3. Light-Sheet Imaging of Collagen in Renal Tissue in Aqueous and Anhydrous Conditions

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Felicia Näsman; [2023]
    Keywords : Kidney disease; Renal fibrosis; Light-sheet Microscopy; Collagen; Fast Green; Kronisk njursjukdom; Njurfibros; ”Light sheet”-mikroskopi; Kollagen; Fast Green;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease is a progressive kidney disease that affects approximately one tenth of the world population. In almost all cases of progressive, end-stage kidney disease, fibrosis is seen. Renal fibrosis is a condition of the kidneys in which collagens and other proteins accumulate in the extracellular matrix of the kidneys. READ MORE

  5. 4. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Katarina Norrby; [2023]
    Keywords : Amyloid; AA amyloid; Amyloidosis; AA amyloidosis; C. Elegans;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis are diseases caused by misfolded proteins that have transformed into extracellular insoluble amyloid fibrils. One type of amyloidosis is AA amyloidosis caused by AA amyloid and diseases connected are Rheumatoid arthritis and Tuberculosis. C. Elegans is a nematode used as a model organism and in this experiment. READ MORE

  6. 5. Acquired and lost structure-functions of non-enveloped and enveloped viruses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Diogo Filipe; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Viruses are biological entities that constantly affect the world around us and in many cases they can harm the health of humans and negatively impact food production, in agriculture andfisheries. The project concept is that, through the structural studies of viruses that infectsimple hosts, it is possible to point out structural features that are unique and conserved inviruses, that infect human, other animals, and crops, in the same phylogenetic lineage.
