  1. 1. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles

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

    Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
    Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fatty acid composition in salmonid eggs : a comparative study of Atlantic salmon and brown trout

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Linnéa Appert; [2022]
    Keywords : Salmonid eggs; Lipids; Fatty acids; Atlantic salmon; brown trout; DHA; EPA; AA;

    Abstract : Atlantic salmon (AS) and brown trout (BT) are part of the salmonid family and are some of the most popular fish species in Western culture. Due to their popularity, there is incentive to understand the varying factors which ensures species survival. READ MORE

  4. 3. Interaction between cobalt nanoparticles and DPPC at pulmonary conditions

    University essay from KTH/Yt- och korrosionsvetenskap

    Author : Paula Sommer; [2021]
    Keywords : metallic nanoparticles; lipids; lung surfactants; adsorption; pulmonary fluid; metalliska nanopartiklar; lipider; lungtensider; adsorption; syntetisk lungvätska;

    Abstract : Nanomaterial produceras och används alltmer i tekniska lösningar för att förbättra t.ex. materialegenskaper. Eftersom ett materials egenskaper förändras när det är i nanoskala så påverkas även dess toxikologiska egenskaper. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving Caco-2 cell permeability assay using phospholipid covered silica beads

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Lana Faradj; [2021]
    Keywords : permeability; Caco-2; recovery; lipophilic; phosphatidylcholine; silica beads; peptide; plastic binding; bovine serum albumin;

    Abstract : The Caco-2 cell assay is widely used for in vitro permeability measurements. However, a draw back with the assay that this study will focus on improving, is compound adsorption to the plastic material. Lipophilic compounds such as Cyclosporin A and Peptide J, that will be used in this study, tend to bind to the plastic material in the assay. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

    Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.
