  1. 1. Studying gene expression scaling with cell size in Arabidopsis thaliana : the role of the nuclear RNA exosome complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Emily Tåhlin; [2024]
    Keywords : RNA; transcription; cell size; smFISH; Arabidopsis thaliana;

    Abstract : The scaling of organ size with body size - known as morphological allometry - is a fundamental mechanism observed in all organisms (Mirth et al. 2016). READ MORE

  3. 2. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE

  4. 3. Predicting morphological effect of compounds on COVID-19 infected cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Läkemedelsdesign och läkemedelsutveckling

    Author : Viktor Öhrner; [2023]
    Keywords : QSAR; ML; AI; bioinformatics; COVID-19; morphological profiles;

    Abstract : The cost of developing new drugs is high and the aim of computer-assisted drug discovery is to reduce that development cost, either through virtual screening or generating novel compounds. System biology is one approach to drug discovery where the response of a biological system is the subject of study, instead of drug target interaction. READ MORE

  5. 4. Höstraps + frostkänsliga baljväxter = sant? : en undersökning av samodlingseffekter på förekomsten av skadeinsekter

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Madeléne Strandberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Brassica napus; samodling; Vicia faba; Trifolium alexandrinum; Brassicogethes aeneus; Ceutorhynchus obstrictus; Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus; Dasineura brassicae; parasitering;

    Abstract : Raps, Brassica napus, är en vanlig gröda som odlas främst som oljeväxt. Grödan har ett stort behov av kväve för fullgod tillväxt. READ MORE

  6. 5. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

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

    Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE
