1. Developing a protocol for 3D-printable bioink from decellularised porcine tissue
University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)Abstract : T-cell administration via a scaffold is a promising tool for treatment of inoperable solid tumours. Traditional scaffold materials lack the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that cells normally grow in. An alternative is to instead use decellularised ECM (dECM) from biological tissue to create the scaffold. READ MORE

2. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.

3. Wound Treatment : An overview and initial investigation of wound care and bioactive materials
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskapAbstract : Wound care is a field with many treatment methods and products on the market. The healing period varies, some wounds become difficult to heal and chronic, in many cases a connection can be drawn to underlying diseases. Diabetes is a disease that could cause foot ulcers that are difficult to heal. READ MORE

4. Ligand-stimulated cleavage of PDGFR-beta
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (α and β) are included in the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The dimeric PDGF ligands bind to the PDGF receptors and this results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, and thus activation. The autophosphorylated receptor dimer activates numerous signaling pathways. READ MORE

5. Phenotype and function of imiquimod-treated MUTZ-3 derived Langerhans cells in potential psoriatic 3D skin model
University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)Abstract : Upon encounter of an antigen, epidermis-resident Langerhans cells (LCs) become activated and present the processed antigen to T cells of the draining lymph nodes, resulting in tolerogenic or inflammatory responses. In psoriasis plaques, skin homeostasis is disrupted and replaced by an inflammatory dermatitis. READ MORE
