  1. 6. Extraction of miR-223 from human blood plasma and quantification using the two-tailed RT-qPCR and absolute quantification

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Lucija Marinkovic; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a very dangerous and life-threatening disease that develops when the body’s reaction to infection causes damage to the body’s tissues and organs. It is difficult to diagnose it and it develops fast leading to a high mortality rate. READ MORE

  2. 7. Future diagnostics of sepsis : Defining optimization methods in detection and quantification of circulating microRNA using the QIAcube and two-tailed RT-qPCR

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Andreas Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis, defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction, is a condition triggered by an adverse immune reaction often leading to a considerable cost in human lives. A fast and early detection is the cornerstone for treating sepsis, however, current therapeutic standard relies on blood culturing, a slow and non-specific indicator. READ MORE

  3. 8. Assessment of methods for microRNA isolation, microRNA amplification, and development of a normalization strategy for sepsis biomarker research

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Johan Nordén; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis, defined by organ dysfunction caused by an adverse immune response of the host to an infection, comes with considerable cost in human lives and as a substantial burden financially. Significant upgrades have been made over the past two decades when diagnosing and treating sepsis but still with room for improvements. READ MORE

  4. 9. Optimization of the Two-Tailed RT qPCR method with synthetic miR-16 and miR-210 in human plasma for future diagnostics of sepsis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Michelle Von Ehr; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Every year, around 6 million people lose the fight against sepsis. Sepsis is a dysregulated response from the host to an infection, leading to life-threatening organ dysfunction. READ MORE

  5. 10. The Tumor Promoting Actions of Exosomal miRNAs

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Emil Johansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Exosome; exosomal miRNA; cancer; tumor proliferation; gene regulation; miRNA; tumor;

    Abstract : Exosomes are nanosized vesicles that contain proteins and nucleic acids. They are released and taken up by many different cell types as a way of cell-to-cell communication. It has previously been recognized that exosomes released by cancer cells promote tumor progression. READ MORE
