  1. 1. Decoding Hormone Interactions: Investigating Health Status Using Hormone Signatures in Blood

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Stina Brunell; Elis Pettersson Gradin; Victor Englöf; Lovisa Wigertz; Embla Persson; Josephine Maglio; [2023]
    Keywords : PEA; hormone; interaction; blood; protein hormone; proteomic; disease; biomarker;

    Abstract : Hormones are integral molecules in the human body, controlling most body systems and maintaining homeostasis in the body. They function as signal molecules for communication between cells, and are often secreted by one tissue with another as target. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identifying cell type-specific proliferation signatures in spatial transcriptomics data and inferring interactions driving tumour growth

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Neuroonkologi och neurodegeneration

    Author : Felix Wærn; [2023]
    Keywords : spatial transcriptomics; breast cancer; dimensionality reduction; bioinformatics; deconvolution;

    Abstract : Cancer is a dangerous disease caused by mutations in the host's genome that makes the cells proliferateuncontrollably and disrupts bodily functions. The immune system tries to prevent this, but tumours have methods ofdisrupting the immune system's ability to combat the cancer. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design and engineering of light-driven dynamic films for bioelectronic interfacing

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Luca Terenzi; [2023]
    Keywords : Conductive polymers; Stimuli responsive materials; Azopolymers; Cell-chip coupling; Bioelectronics; Konduktiva polymerer; Stimuli-känsliga material; Azopolymerer; Cell-chip-koppling; Bioelektronik;

    Abstract : In the realm of neuroelectronics, the challenge lies in achieving finer observations of physiological processes to comprehend neuronal interactions and computations. This necessitates the development of more compliant and biomimetic interfaces for improved integration with biological tissues, enabling finer physiological process observations. READ MORE

  5. 4. SINGLE AND COMBINED EXPOSURE OF POLYSTYRENE NANOPARTICLES AND NORTH SEA MARINE OIL IN TWO IN VITRO FISH MODELS

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Monica Olsson; [2022-10-05]
    Keywords : Polystyrene nanoparticles; crude oil; combined toxicity; cytotoxicity; oxidative stress;

    Abstract : The awareness of micro-and nanoplastic pollution and its impact on the marine ecosystem has increased over the last decade. Nanoplastics may affect aquatic organisms since their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio increases their bioavailability and ability to cross biological membranes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Diffusion and Camera-Noise Modelling for Analysis of Single-Particle Tracking Movies

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

    Author : Erik Clarkson; [2022]
    Keywords : reaction-diffusion; camera-noise modelling; single-particle tracking; Gillespie simulations; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Interactions between T-cells and other body cells is an essential part of the immune system. It involves the binding between surface receptors of the two cells. Specifically, T-cell receptors (TCRs) bind onto pMHC (peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the partnering cell surface. READ MORE
