  1. 6. Development of Microfluidic 3D Cell Culture with a Nanocellulose-Based Scaffold for Spheroid Formation as a Potential Tool for Drug Screening

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sara Payande; [2022]
    Keywords : 3D cell culture; Scaffold; Microfluidics; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulose Nanofibrils; Spheroids; HepG2; 3D cellodling; Matris; Mikrofluidik; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulosa Nanofibriller; Sfäroider; HepG2;

    Abstract : Abstract  Lack of clinical relevance is assumed to be the main reason behind the high failure rate of medical drugs in the very initial phases of clinical trials. Clinical relevance is difficult to achieve with current tools as they lack the biological and physiological cues found in vivo. READ MORE

  3. 7. Determination of the inelastic mean freepath for SiO2 and the BBL polymer : A study with XPS and HAXPES

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Rickard Gauffin; [2022]
    Keywords : XPS; HAXPES; IMFP; Polymer;

    Abstract : This study targets methodology development using Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES) as a tool for investigating material surfaces. When analysing samples with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES), it is important to know the probing depth of the samples. READ MORE

  4. 8. Interaction between cobalt nanoparticles and DPPC at pulmonary conditions

    University essay from KTH/Yt- och korrosionsvetenskap

    Author : Paula Sommer; [2021]
    Keywords : metallic nanoparticles; lipids; lung surfactants; adsorption; pulmonary fluid; metalliska nanopartiklar; lipider; lungtensider; adsorption; syntetisk lungvätska;

    Abstract : Nanomaterial produceras och används alltmer i tekniska lösningar för att förbättra t.ex. materialegenskaper. Eftersom ett materials egenskaper förändras när det är i nanoskala så påverkas även dess toxikologiska egenskaper. READ MORE

  5. 9. HgII uptake in Geobacter sulfurreducens spheroplasts : Thiols’ role in Hg partitioning and methylation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring trace element and pollutant that is ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems. All Hg species are hazardous, but methylmercury (MeHg) is the most alarming due to its neurotoxicity, teratogenicity, and bioaccumulation in the food web. READ MORE

  6. 10. Bacterial Display of a Tau-Binding Affibody Construct:Towards Affinity Maturation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Moira Ek; [2020]
    Keywords : Microtubule-associated protein tau; Neurodegenerative disorders; Alzheimer’s disease; Affibody molecules; Affinity maturation; Staphylococcal surface display; Escherichia coli display; Flow cytometry; Cell sorting;

    Abstract : Aggregation of microtubule-associated protein tau is involved in the pathology of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. The affibody TP4 has been shown to inhibit this aggregation process, and its target-binding positions were previously grafted onto a dimeric affibody scaffold, creating the sequestrin seqTP4.
