1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

   Author : Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
   Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

   Abstract : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. READ MORE

3. 2. Increased system sensitivity using fluorescent based immunoassays on the Gyrolab® platform

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

   Author : Gabriel Lisra; [2023]
   Keywords : Gyrolab; fluorescence; sensitivity; immunoassays;

   Abstract : Immunoassays have become an essential tool in several fields of bioanalytics with tremendous advances in sensitivity and formats seen through the last three decades. Many diseases are today diagnosed solely based on biomarker concentrations evaluated through immunoassays. READ MORE

4. 3. Swedish “tofu” from faba beans : a textural and structural analysis

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Saga Preis; [2023]
   Keywords : Tofu; faba bean; Vicia faba; texture; microstructure;

   Abstract : Tofu, a traditional soybean product, is a popular plant-based alternative which could potentially be produced from Swedish-grown faba beans (Vicia faba L.). The aim of this project was to asses the viability of producing a tofu-like faba bean product using food grade gypsum (calcium sulphate) as coagulant. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. The role of AmotL2 in the regulation of mesenchymal transitioning of endothelial cells

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Anita-Ann Monteiro; [2023]
   Keywords : Endothelial-mesenchymal transition EndMT ; atherosclerosis; transforming growth factor β TGF-β ; Angiomotin-Like 2 AmotL2 ; Scrambled Scr ; knockdown kd ; Immunofluorescence IF ;

   Abstract : Background During development, endothelial cells acquire mesenchymal-like properties to migrate and facilitate normal vascular formation. This process of transformation is known as endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and has also been implicated in diseases like vascular pathologies contributing to endothelial inflammation, atherosclerosis and tumour angiogenesis.
