3. 2. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluating targeted combination therapies in EGFR wild-type non-small-cell lung cancer using mass spectrometry-based proteomics

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för immunteknologi

   Author : Johan Thorsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Survival for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has been significantly improved by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with EGFR mutations. However, certain subpopulations of NSCLC patients with EGFR wild-type (wt) status have been shown to also respond to EGFR-TKIs. READ MORE

6. 5. Sex-specific pathological response to Traumatic Brain Injury

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Christopher Fry; [2022]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of leading causes of death in the world; survivors commonly exhibit behavioural changes and neurocognitive defects in the long-term. Following TBI, rapid changes in the neurovascular unit (NVU) occur as the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) increases and cerebral blood flow (CBF) becomes dysregulated. READ MORE
