  1. 6. Different concentrations of GSK3 inhibitor fail to suppress interleukin-6 in stimulated THP-1 macrophage

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Batoul Shunnar; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a defensive process that allows immune cells to be mobilized to help with infection removal and tissue regeneration. Inflammasomes are multiprotein oligomers in the cytoplasm and components of the innate immune system that have a role in inflammation. READ MORE

  3. 7. Applicability of simulation analysis for planning agri-food supply chains : A case study at a Swedish farmer-owned cooperative

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Marcus Ahlqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : agri-food supply chain; simulation; applicability; planning; system analysis; strategic; tactical; operational;

    Abstract : Agri-food supply chains (ASCs) are becoming increasingly complex, and its actors are in need of sophisticated planning tools to remain competitive in an industry that have been moving away from small individual actors towards large multi-national, highly vertically integrated cooperatives. This case study views reality from an objectivist point of view and utilises a positivist approach to study this reality. READ MORE

  4. 8. Impact of MLC shape smoothing on VMAT plan complexity and agreement between planned and delivered dose

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Linnéa Strandell; [2020]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background/Purpose: The aperture shape controller (ASC) was introduced in the Eclipse treatment planning system to reduce plan complexity by counteracting irregular multileaf collimator (MLC) shapes. This should lead to decreased difference between the planned and measured dose distribution. READ MORE

  5. 9. NLRP INFLAMMASOME : CRISPR knockout of RIPK3 gene in THP-1 monocytes

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ryan Potter; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a biological response to harmful stimuli which assists the overall immune response in defending the organism against potential threats like bacteria and other pathogens. This response is largely regulated by multiprotein complexes known as inflammasomes, which use one or more multi-stage networks to create a coordinated response across cell groups. READ MORE

  6. 10. Inflammasome : Investigating the effect of NEK7 in the activation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Cosmas Adindu Uzowuru; [2020]
    Keywords : NLRP3 inflammasome; NEK7 protein; THP-1; Prime; activate; differentiate; stimulate; cytokines; Interleukin-1 Beta; Interleukin-18;

    Abstract : Inflammation is a biological defence mechanism applied by living organisms against foreign invaders. In the response to DAMPs and PAMPs, organisms use inflammatory multi-protein complexes to fight the attackers. The most studied inflammasome proteins are NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1. READ MORE
