  1. 1. Profiling the Blood Proteome in Autoimmune Disease Using Proximity Extension Assay

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Julia Asp; [2023]
    Keywords : Plasma proteomics; proximity extension assay; autoimmune disease; differential expression; machine learning; biomarkers; Plasma proteomik; proximity extension assay; autoimmuna sjukdomar; differentiellt proteinuttryck; maskininlärning; biomarkörer;

    Abstract : Autoimmuna sjukdomar är en samling komplexa, kroniska, inflammatoriska sjukdomstillstånd som kännetecknas av dysreglering av immunsystemet, vilket resulterar i inflammation och skada av vävnader, celler och organ. Dessa sjukdomar har en betydande inverkan på individens livskvalitet och bidrar ofta till ökad dödsrisk där komorbiditeter föreligger. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a post-processing pipeline for Myelin Water Imaging at 7 T

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Petter Clemensson; Elliot Berthold; [2022]
    Keywords : Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Myelin Water Imaging; Neuroimaging; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Myelin water imaging, MWI, is a non-invasive method used for quantifying the amount of myelin in the brain that can aid the understanding of brain plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Conventional MWI is done at a field strength of 3 T, though there are indications that higher field strength may lead to higher resolution images. READ MORE
