  1. 1. Development and Application of Analytical Tools for Calcium Signaling Dynamics in MDCK-II Cells

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Hanna Israelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Cellpose 2.0; MDCKII; GCaMP6m; Gap Junctions; Calcium; Ouabain; Cellpose 2.0; MDCKII; GCaMP6m; Gap Junctions; Kalcium; Ouabain;

    Abstract : Calcium, a pivotal ion in various human signaling pathways, holds significant relevance in cancer research and treatment. Investigating the transmission of spontaneous calcium signals between cells and understanding how they are influenced by different treatments is therefore an interesting area of study. READ MORE

  3. 2. The role of gap junctions in coordination of intercellular Ca2+ signaling

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Emma Latron; [2023]

    Abstract : Calcium ions are one of the most versatile signalling molecules. They are essential tothe proper functioning of various cellular processes in many different types of cells.The calcium signals have been studied in the past using ratiometric dyes like Fura-2. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of a GIS methodology to evaluate informal urban green areas for inclusion in a community governance program

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Katalin Bunyevácz; [2019]
    Keywords : geography; GIS; informal urban green spaces; community governance; multi- criteria analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Informal green spaces are “small green areas” which are some square meter plots along streets or in junctions, in front of public or private buildings. Informal urban green space become or remain in neglected condition due to the lack of capacity of the municipality to maintain them. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simulation of Majorana Bound States in Multi-Band Josephson Junction Nanowires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Georg Wolgast; [2017]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Majorana bound states can be created at the ends of semiconducting nanowires using a combination of proximity-induced superconductivity, spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic eld. By adding a Josephson junction to this nanowire, four Majorana bound states can exist at the same time in the system. READ MORE

  6. 5. Use of oxytocin to improve diagnosis of subclinical mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Lina Jonsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Dairy cow; Oxytocin; Beef suckler cow; Staphylococcus aureus; Microabscesses; SCC;

    Abstract : Mastitis, inflammation in the udder tissue, caused by S. aureus is a big problem in dairy cattle production. It causes suffering for the cow and curing or replacing the infected cow is costly for the farmer. It is known that beef cattle also suffer from mastitis caused by S. READ MORE
