  1. 1. Exploratory analysis of immunological responses in wild and laboratory mice

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ilia Alekseev; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The use of mice as a model organism in biomedical research is widespread due to their similarities with humans in anatomy and physiology. However, the genetic isolation of inbred strains from natural populations raises concerns about the reliability of these models. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigating the crosstalk between estrogen receptor beta in colorectal cancer and tumor-associated macrophages

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alicia Bodin; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen; macrophages; colorectal cancer; qPCR; cell culture; östrogen; makrofager; tjocktarmscancer; qPCR; cellodling;

    Abstract : Tjock-och ändtarmscancer (kolorektalcancer) är den tredje vanligaste cancertypen och den näst vanligaste cancer-relaterade dödsorsaken i världen. Östrogen har visat sig ha en skyddande roll mot kolorektalcancer och östrogenreceptor beta är den dominerande östrogenreceptorn i normalt kolonepitel. READ MORE

  4. 3. AI-assisted Image Manipulation with Eye Tracking

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Rej Karlander; Julia Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : Human-computer interaction; Accessibility; Assistive technologies; Eye tracking; Input modalities; Image editing; Generative models; Människa–datorinteraktion; Tillgänglighet; Eye Tracking; Inmatningsenheter; Bildredigering; Maskininlärningsmodeller;

    Abstract : Image editing tools can pose a challenge for motor impaired individuals who wish to perform image manipulation. The process includes many steps and can be difficult given a lack of tactile input such as mouse and keyboard. READ MORE

  5. 4. Transcriptional basis of Huntington’s Disease: Gene expression analysis indicate increased immune responses in the brain and mitochondrial dysfunction in adipose tissues of HD model mouse

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Intisar Salim; [2023]
    Keywords : Huntington’s Disease; mRNA-seq; tissue specific gene expression; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarker; Huntingtons sjukdom; mRNA-seq; vävnadsspecifik genexpression; cerebrospinalvätska; biomarkör;

    Abstract : Huntingtons sjukdom (HD) är ett neurodegenerativt tillstånd som orsakas av mutationer i huntingtin gen (Htt), och resulterar till upprepade glutamin (polyQ) i Htt-proteinet. Muterad Htt kan inte vika sig ordentligt och börjar därför aggregera i celler. 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
