  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Feasibility of quantitative 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy SPECT/CT for assessing the burden of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

    Author : Sajad Kadhim Khalaf; [2023]
    Keywords : QSPECT; Amyloidosis; ATTR; LVMI; Recovery Coefficient; SUV; Calibration;

    Abstract : Background: Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of misfolded proteins, known as amyloid fibrils, in the myocardium. Quantitative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (QSPECT) utilizing 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy has the potential to assess ATTR-suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). READ MORE

  4. 3. The GSK-3 inhibitor has no effect on production of IL-1β in LPS- and Nigericin-stimulated THP-1 macrophages

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Jessica Halan Söderberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is the body's natural defense reaction and is known since ancient times. The inflammation is divided into two main phases, acute and chronic inflammation dependent on the process and cellular mechanisms of the inflammation. READ MORE

    Abstract : Today, the focus lies on the state of the environment and how we can choose more sustainable alternatives to oil based materials. One material of interest is microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). READ MORE

  6. 5. Green Protein Hydrogels and Non-dry Aerogels in Water Purification

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Emanuel Nelsson Vedung; Alexander Singh; Julia Wadefjord; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerogel; Hydrogel; Whey Protein Isolate; Water purification; Adsorption; Sustainability;

    Abstract : Having access to clean water is not a certainty for every human being. Today, there are major problems with polluted water that not just affect us humans, but also the ecosystem around us. In recent years, research into making aerogels from protein nanofibrils (PNF) has increased. READ MORE
