  1. 1. Mapping the relationship between integrin activation, focal adhesion organization and mechanotransduction in fibroblasts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Valeriia Grudtsyna; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechanotransduction; Focal adhesions; Yes-associated protein 1 YAP ; Integrins; Fibronectin; Polarization microscopy; TIRF microscopy; Fluorescence anisotropy; YAP activation; Image analysis; Cell biology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cells can sense and respond to mechanical forces through a process called mechanotransduction. It is controlled by the mechanical cues, originated from the cell's microenvironment, and occurs via a complex, step-wise process. READ MORE

  3. 2. Dynamics of Mitochondria and Actin Cytoskeleton Interactions in Budding Yeast.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Keywords : Mitochondria; Actin cables; Cytoskeleton; Cell division; Glucose repression; Arp2 3 complex; ARC15; AIM7; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : In the budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, mitochondrial distribution involves movements of the organelle from the mother cell to the bud (anterograde movement) and from the bud to the mother (retrograde movement). READ MORE

  4. 3. Dendritic cell response after exposure to Salmonella enterica with different LPS structure.

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Annika Engstrand; [2009]
    Keywords : Phagocytosis; F-actin; Bacteria;

    Abstract : Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a structure of the gram-negative bacteria that protect from chemicals and works as a stabilization component for the membrane. Studies show that LPS also may have a function to avoid immune defense. In this project we investigate two Salmonella enterica variants with different LPS conformation. READ MORE
