  1. 1. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Védís Mist Eyju Agnadóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. READ MORE

  3. 2. Deacetylated Hyaluronan : Exploration of deacetylation techniques for hyaluronan (oligo and polysaccharides)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Sima Mardini; Hanna Björk; Marcus Möller; Carl Lagergren; Oscar Samuelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : hyaluronic acid; deacetylated hyaluronan; N-deacetylation; re-acetylation; hydrogels;

    Abstract : Hyaluronic acid is an organic polysaccharide with a wide range of uses in medical and cosmetic industries due to its physiological properties. Crosslinked hyaluronic acid is a commonly used filler agent because of its water retention capabilities. N-deacetylation can be performed to enable new derivatives of hyaluronic acid. READ MORE

  4. 3. Creating A Chicken Analogue with Mycoprotein

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Jiayi Zheng; [2022]
    Keywords : meat analogue; mycoprotein; product development; sodium alginate; food technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To meet the growing demand of meat alternatives, this project was dedicated to creating a chicken analogue prototype with mycoprotein. Within the project, two approaches of alginate gelation, external (diffusion) crosslinking and internal crosslinking, were studied in this particular food matrix. READ MORE

  5. 4. Synthesis and Investigation of Nitrile-Containing Polymers Inspired by Lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Tobias Lindborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Lignin; Polymer; Renewable; Bioresource; Glass transition temperature; Nitrile; Polymer technology; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The lignin-inspired derivatives coniferyl aldehyde and sinapyl aldehyde were used to prepare nitrile-containing methacrylate monomers with the aim to synthesize bio-based polymers exhibiting high glass transition temperatures (Tgs). The aldehydes were initially transformed to the corresponding nitriles and then underwent methacrylation before being polymerised by free-radical polymerisation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Crosslinked Cartonboard - Challenges and possibilities

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Malin Elvin; [2022]
    Keywords : Cartonboard; crosslinking; mechanical properties; SCT;

    Abstract : The need for sustainable packaging is growing, and plastic waste needs to be reduced. A suitable alternative could be fibre-based packaging and cartonboard, and several actions could enhance this alternative. This study investigates crosslinking, a method to create stronger bonds between the OH-groups in the material. READ MORE
