1. 1. Evaluation of different block-copolymer coatings of iron oxide nanoparticles by flash nanoprecipitation

   University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

   Author : Felix Bogdan; [2023]
   Keywords : Nanopartiklar; organisk katalysator; ROP; block-sampolymerer PL G A; oljesyra IONPs; Nanoparticles; organic catalyst; ROP; block-copolymers PL G A; oleic acid IONPs;

   Abstract : Nanopartiklar (NP) erbjuder unika möjligheter för medicinska tillämpningar, inklusive kontrollerad frisättning av cancerläkemedel, användning som bildkontrast vid avbildningsprocedurer eller hypertermisk behandling av cancerceller. Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) producerar NPs för att kombinera dessa tillämpningar i en snabb, billig och skalbar beläggningsprocess. READ MORE

3. 2. Hic2 overexpression increase of cell reprogramming efficiency- a computational study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Paulina Ibek; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Since stem cells have many applications in medicine and can be used for treating e.g. cancer and diabetes, finding efficient methods for producing them is a relevant area of research. READ MORE

4. 3. Effect of Ion Channels on Intracellular Localization of REV-ERBα in Glioma-Initiating Cells

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Selay Oba; [2021]
   Keywords : cancer; childhood cancer; glioblastoma multiforme; GBM; SR9009; mibefradil; REV-ERBα;

   Abstract : The number of children and young adolescents diagnosed with cancer is increasing, leading to a need for new therapeutic strategies with diminished neurodegenerative side- effects. This report presents preliminary observations on glioma-initiating cells (GICs) in the way to develop a strategy that induces cell-cycle arrest or quiescence in neural stem cells (NSCs). READ MORE

5. 4. Analysis and Implementation of an Age Structured Model of the Cell Cycle

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Anna Broms; [2017]
   Keywords : age structured model; cell cycle; cell population dynamics; nonlinear integral equations; Romberg s method; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : In an age-structured model originating from cancer research, the cell cycle is divided into two phases: Phase 1 of variable length, consisting of the biologically so called G1 phase, and Phase 2 of fixed length, consisting of the so called S, G2 and M phases. A system of nonlinear PDEs along with initial and boundary data describes the number densities of cells in the two phases, depending on time and age (where age is the time spent in a phase).

6. 5. Differentiation Therapy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : Moa Larsson; [2017]
   Keywords : AML; Leukemia; Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Differentiation Therapy; Differentiation; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Medicine and Health Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a differentiation block in the myeloid lineages of the hematopoiesis. After the success of the all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) differentiation therapy which overcomes this differentiation block for AML subtype acute promyelocytic leukemia, attempts have been made to find similar therapies for the remaining subtypes.
