  1. 21. The Influence of Host Genetics on JCV and EBV Antibody Levels in Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Controls

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Elin Strid; [2012]
    Keywords : Host genetics; multiple sclerosis; EBV; JCV; natalizumab; OpenArray; genotyping;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by lesions formed due to demyelination. MS is a complex disease thought to be triggered by environmental factors in genetically predisposed individuals. The strongest associated susceptibility allele is HLA-DRB1*1501. READ MORE

  4. 23. Comparison of Mesenchymal Stem Cells derived from Amniotic Fluid and Umbilical Cord

    University essay from Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutveckling

    Author : Åsa Ekblad; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are non-hematopoietic multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into lineages such as adipocytes, osteocytes and chondrocytes. MSC are immune privileged and also possess immunosuppressive properties, which in combination with their differentiative properties makes them excellent candidates for tissue engineering, an alternative treatment solution for of congenital malformations.

  5. 24. Modular General-Purpose Data Filtering for Tracking

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Mirsad Čirkić; [2008]
    Keywords : Extended kalman; unscented kalman; particle filter; tracking; data filtering; data fusion; hla;

    Abstract : In nearly allmodern tracking systems, signal processing is an important part with state estimation as the fundamental component. To evaluate and to reassess different tracking systems in an affordable way, simulations that are in accordance with reality are largely used. READ MORE
