  1. 1. Characterization of a Novel Tubular Carbon Fibre Based Electrode for Dopamine Detection with Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sofia Hansson; [2022]
    Keywords : FSCV; Carbon Fibre Microelectrodes; Electrode development; Dopamine; Parkinson’s disease; In-vitro; FSCV; Kolfibermikroelektroder; Elektrodutveckling; Dopamin; Parkinsons sjukdom; In-vitro;

    Abstract : Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) is an electrochemical technique, based on ramping a voltage through a microelectrode and measuring the resulting redox current to obtain information about an electroactive molecule. FSCV can be used for the detection of dopamine, which is a vital neurotransmitter. READ MORE

  3. 2. Do Nanoparticles Affect Neuronal Function? - Establishment of a Microelectrode-Based Assay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Markus Nylander; [2020]
    Keywords : Microelectrode array; gold nanoparticles; silver nanoparticles; immunocytochemistry; scanning electron microscopy; human neural progenitor cells; human induced pluripotent stem cells; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nanomaterials are used extensively in industry and daily life but comparatively little is known about the possible health effects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are two metal nanoparticles that have been intensively studied. READ MORE

  4. 3. Endeavors toward Novel Cochlear Implants from Stretchable Printed Circuit Board Technology

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Rickard Viik; [2019]
    Keywords : novel; cochlear; implant; electrode array; electrode; stretchable; soft; electronics; pdms; polydimethylsiloxane; liquid; alloy; galinstan; hearing aid;

    Abstract : Profound sensorineural hearing loss is at the present time a major worldwide health concern, affecting over 5% of the worlds' population. Through cochlear implants (CI), treatment of sensorineural hearing loss now offers the possibility to restore hearing function through electrical stimulation of auditory nerves. READ MORE

  5. 4. Morphology and localization of carbonic anhydrase in the alimentary canal of the Swedish house cricket, Acheta domesticus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Elina Thorsson; [2018]
    Keywords : house cricket; acheta domesticus; gryllidae; anatomy; histology; morphophysiology digestive tract; alimentary canal; gastrointestinal tract; gut; carbonic anhydrase;

    Abstract : There is a growing interest in using insects as part of the human diet. Actors such as the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Nordic Food Labs are investigating the potential use of insects as a source of protein and nutrients for the western human population.

  6. 5. Development of microelectrodes for electrical measurements in a microfluidic system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Emma Thomée; [2017]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements are used to quantitatively monitor cell barrier formation in in vitro models of the blood-brain barrier. TEER measurements in microfluidic in vitro systems are technically problematic and have suffered from poor measurement reproducibility. READ MORE
