  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Comparison and optimization of extracellular vesicle (EV) capturing on functional thin films for their molecular profiling

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Prattakorn Metem; [2023]
    Keywords : extracellular vesicle; plasmonic nanohole array; atomic force microscopy; fluorescence analysis; extracellulära vesiklar; nanohålsuppsättning; atomkraftsmikroskopi; fluorescensanalys;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer encapsulated nanoparticles which have emerged as an excellent source of biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancer. However, they are highly heterogeneous in their molecular compositions which remains a major challenge hindering the utilization of their biomarker potential. READ MORE

  4. 3. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  5. 4. Application of Biomimetic Membrane Models in Expansion Microscopy

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Praghadhesh Thiagarajan; [2023]
    Keywords : Fluorescence microscopy; expansion microscopy; GPMV; inter-leaflet asymmetry; Fluorescensmikroskopi; expansionsmikroskopi; GPMV; asymmetri mellan lagren;

    Abstract : Plasmamembranet är en komplex struktur som består av biomolekyler som lipider, proteiner och glykaner. Membranets rena komplexitet begränsar vår förmåga att förstå den spatiotemporala dynamiken hos sådana komponenter och deras kollektiva biofysiska membranparametrar. READ MORE

  6. 5. Utsöndrade extracellulära vesiklar (EV) från hästens spolmask Parascaris univalens och deras immunmodulerande roll

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Karin Tufvesson; [2022]
    Keywords : Extracellulära vesiklar; Parascaris univalens; hästens spolmask; ST2; DUSP1; PCR;

    Abstract : Under det senaste decenniet har ett nytt forskningsområde vuxit fram som handlar om kartläggning av extracellulära vesiklar (EV) från parasiter samt hur de kan påverka värddjurets immunförsvar. EV är lipidmembranförsedda blåsor innehållande bland annat proteiner och nukleinsyror och som används för cellkommunikation. READ MORE
