1. 1. Expression of complement factor C1r and C1s in human gingival fibroblasts

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för odontologi

   Author : Hanna From; [2023]
   Keywords : fibroblasts; pEDS; C1r; C1s;

   Abstract : Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition rendering in degradation of tooth supporting tissue. In the inflammatory process cytokines, amongst others TNF-a, IL-1b and IL-6 play an important role in regulating the immune response. READ MORE

3. 2. Protoplast isolation and transformation in sweetpotato

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

   Author : Jakob Steiner; [2022]
   Keywords : Protoplast; Sweetpotato; Isolation; Transformation; Regeneration; Callus; Propagation; In-vitro; Solanales; Celluase; Cell; Plant; Leaf; Petiole; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Med målet att utvärdera en mindre restriktiv teknik för genmodifiering i sötpotatis (Ipomoea batatas), både gällande ekonomiska begränsningar såväl som det tid och energi bemödande som ett sådant projekt oundvikligen påbrår, har vi arbetat flitigt med att etablera optimerade parameters för protoplast isolation och fortsättningsvis också utforskat lovande protokoll för transformation och regeneration av dessa protoplaster, för att slutligen framställa nya genotyper. Således har en extensiv litteraturundersökning av tidigare publicerade protokoll, varav explantor från sötpotatis men också relaterade arter inom Solanales ordningen har diskuterats, utfärdades varefter datan analyserades via diverse avancerade statistiska modeller.

4. 3. NLRP INFLAMMASOME : CRISPR knockout of RIPK3 gene in THP-1 monocytes

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Ryan Potter; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Inflammation is a biological response to harmful stimuli which assists the overall immune response in defending the organism against potential threats like bacteria and other pathogens. This response is largely regulated by multiprotein complexes known as inflammasomes, which use one or more multi-stage networks to create a coordinated response across cell groups. READ MORE

5. 4. Isolation and genomic characterization of three PHA degrading bacteria from the marine environment

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

   Author : Giulia Elli; [2019]
   Keywords : PHA; degradation of PHA; marine bacteria; sulphate reducing bacteria; SRB; SRM; biotechnology; bioteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The broader goal of this project was to investigate what kind of effects the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the marine environment might have on the microbial world. Bacteria were isolated from biofilms fouling PHA pellets placed in the sediment-water interface; the goal was to isolate PHA degraders that were also sulphate reducers. READ MORE

6. 5. Inheritance patterns of mitochondrial DNA in Drosophila paulistorum: substantial paternal transmission and the possible role of mitochondria in speciation

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

   Author : Jonathan Haars; [2019]
   Keywords : Drosophila Paulistorum; speciation; mitochondria; paternal transmission; paternal leakage; mtDNA; inheritance; hybridization;

   Abstract : Direct studies of speciation are possible in the superspecies complex of Drosophila paulistorum, which consists of six different semispecies undergoing incipient speciation. Strict maternal inheritance of mitochondria is the most common pattern of mitochondrial inheritance in animals. READ MORE
