1. 1. Role of androgen receptor signaling in the activation and differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Faiza Tahsin Rashid; [2023-06-27]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Androgens are steroid hormones essential for the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are immune cells that act as the first line of defense against viral infections. READ MORE

3. 2. The Impact of Oat and Fruit Consumption on Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production

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

   Author : Johanna Margaretha Schilder; [2023]
   Keywords : short-chain fatty acids; SCFAs; diet; gas chromatography; serum; mice; applied nutrition and food chemistry; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : This study explored the importance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in maintaining gut health and how different diets affect their levels. Blood plasma and serum samples from mice subjected to two intervention studies on oats and fruits were analysed to determine SCFA concentrations. READ MORE

4. 3. Assessment and evaluation of heterogeneity in data from immune infiltration spatial niches in lung cancer

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Mahta Keivani Najafabadi; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of organized immune cells and finally Infiltraterate where immune cells dispersed among and in direct contact with tumor cells (INFILT).

   Author : Raziyeh Mohseni; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The functional and anatomical characteristics of cancer cells vary among patients. Additionally, therapeutic approaches display varying responses in different individuals and cancer types due to the anatomical and functional complexity of tumor. READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Mawj Jasimalsalih; [2023]
   Keywords : Immunogenic Proteins; PrsA; MalX; Membrane Vesicles; Protein Properties; Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors;

   Abstract : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. READ MORE
