  1. 6. Characterization of pERK expression in amygdala and its role in nociceptive behavior

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Mychelly Moraes De Siqueira; [2016]
    Keywords : amygdala; extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK ; mitogen-activated protein kinase MAPK ; nociceptive; pain;

    Abstract : Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. Functioning as intracellular signaling molecules, they are responsible for multiple extracellular signals transduction into diverse intracellular responses through transcriptional and post-translational regulations.

  3. 7. Modification of nanofibrillated cellulose with stimuli-responsive polymers

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Carmen Cobo Sanchez; [2012]
    Keywords : thermoresponsive; nanofibrillated cellulose; biocomposites; block-copolymer; stimuliresponsive;

    Abstract : Research of new sustainable and low cost materials, such as cellulose, is of high interest. Modifications of the cellulose can be performed in order to create a “smart” material which responds to external stimuli, such as variations in pH and temperature, by changing its properties.

  4. 8. The Effect of Mechanical Stimuli on Healing Achilles Tendons in Rats

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Emma Malis; [2009]
    Keywords : Mechanical Stimuli; Vibration; Tendon Healing;

    Abstract : Tendon healing is a slow process and the tendon may not regain its initial mechanical properties after rupture. Mechanical stimuli have shown to have positive effect on tendon healing. This study is the first to investigate the effect of vibration stimuli on healing tendons. READ MORE

  5. 9. Creating temperature stimulated paper muscles by printing and lamination

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Veronica Holmberg; [2008]
    Keywords : Paper muscles; stimuli responsive; bilayer; bilayer model; polyester film; toner; hygro expansion; thermal expansion;

    Abstract : A paper that shows motion when being exposed to heat has in this study been called a paper muscle. A paper muscle can be used for many different applications, e.g. smart advertisement or indicators in printed paper products. READ MORE
