  1. 1. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
    Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Potential to Target Smaller Sized Baltic Herring to Decrease the Dietary Exposure - an Assessment Based on Dioxin Samples from the Southern Baltic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Sofie Gustafsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Dioxin; PCDD Fs; dl-PCBs; Herring; Baltic; Fishery; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, or more commonly referred to as dioxin and dioxin like substances are compounds present in our surrounding environment. As some congeners of these have been shown to be toxic, they are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. READ MORE

  4. 3. Properties & Stability of Hybrid Pea-Dairy Protein Formulas

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Kyriaki-Eirini Moschou; [2023]
    Keywords : properties; stability; hybrid formula; pea-dairy; protein mixtures; development; RTD; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the functional properties and stability of hybrid pea-dairy protein formulas. To achieve this goal, the combination of pea protein isolate (PPI) with dairy proteins such as micellar casein isolate (MCI), sodium caseinate (NaCas), whey protein aggregate (WPA) was evaluated.

  5. 4. An Overview Of The Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Of Common Gram Positive And Gram Negative Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Elisabeth Tammi; [2023]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance mechanism; gram negative bacteria; gram positive bacteria;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance in multidrug resistant bacteria cause high mortality rates worldwide, where there has been over 1,000,000 deaths reported as of the year 2019. Antibiotics were thought to be the cure for fighting infectious diseases and preventing further spreading of infection. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
