  1. 1. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

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

    Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
    Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

  3. 2. Novel ways of treating bacterial skin infections: the antimicrobial peptides REI-26 and CD4-PP

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Magdalena de Arriba Sánchez de la Campa; [2022]
    Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; skin infections; wound healing;

    Abstract : Severe skin and soft-tissue infections can lead to septic shock and organ failure. Antibiotic treatment is turning ineffective due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for the need for novel antimicrobial therapies such as antimicrobial peptides. READ MORE

  4. 3. Lipoteichoic acid extraction from plasma : Chromatography techniques utilizing truncated derivates of antimicrobial peptides

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Gustav Sedelius; [2022]
    Keywords : antimicrobial peptides; chromatography; hemoperfusions; lipoteichoic acid; plasma; Sepsis;

    Abstract : With increasing incidence rates aligned with poor prognosis; sepsis represents one of the biggest challenges in modern health care. It is a multifactorial syndrome defined as organ dysfunction caused by disturbed systemic response to an infection. READ MORE
