  1. 1. Blood interactions with bioactive peptidefunctionalized nanocellulose : An evaluation of the activation of the coagulation and complement system

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Vanisha Bansal; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A current trend utilizing the biomedical approach in the field of wound care is focused on the increased potential to develop wound healing materials designed to address specific types of wounds or underlying pathologies to achieve improved healing. The work presented in this thesis evaluates the blood response to wood-derived nanocellulose functionalized with a peptide, with the ultimate aim of characterizing the material as a potential wound dressing for chronic wound care.

  3. 2. Nanoparticle size-dependent activation of the hemostasis and the innate immune system.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Johanna Sundström; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles are small particles with a size range of 10-1000 nm. They exist all around us, in make-up, dust and even food. They can enter our bloodstream through different pathways such as inhalation and cause thrombosis and multiple organ failure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identification of potential plasma biomarkers of inflammation in farmers with musculoskeletal disorders : A proteomic study

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Anders Carlsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Proteomics; biomarkers; two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; musculoskeletal disorders; environment;

    Abstract : In this thesis we look for potential chronic inflammation biomarkers because studies have shown that farmers with musculoskeletal disorders might be affected by the environment to develop musculoskeletal disorders. Animal farmers are highly exposed to dust, aerosols, molds and other toxins in the air and environment leading to musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory disorders, airway symptoms and febrile reactions.

  5. 4. Proteomics studies of Alzheimer’s Aβ-oligomers to identify interactions with other proteins in human serum and cerebrospinal fluid.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)

    Author : Mahafuzur Rahman; [2012]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; Aβ oligomers; protein-protein interactions; serum; cerebrospinal fluid; proteomics; mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. The pathogenesis of AD is linked to the oligomerization and aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) into protein plaques in the brain. However, the role of these aggregates in the disease pathology remains largely unknown. READ MORE

  6. 5. Method development for studying the interactions between antithrombin and heparin

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Maja Elnerud; [2008]
    Keywords : Antithrombin; heparin; calcium; surface plasmon resonance; fluorometry;

    Abstract : Antithrombin (AT) is one of the most important anticoagulant factors in the blood, and its effects are increased by the interaction with glycosaminoglycans, especially heparin. AT appears in two additional variants, other than the native form, and those variants have antiangiogenic properties and also bind to heparin. READ MORE
