  1. 1. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Katarina Norrby; [2023]
    Keywords : Amyloid; AA amyloid; Amyloidosis; AA amyloidosis; C. Elegans;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis are diseases caused by misfolded proteins that have transformed into extracellular insoluble amyloid fibrils. One type of amyloidosis is AA amyloidosis caused by AA amyloid and diseases connected are Rheumatoid arthritis and Tuberculosis. C. Elegans is a nematode used as a model organism and in this experiment. READ MORE

  3. 2. Feasibility of quantitative 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy SPECT/CT for assessing the burden of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

    Author : Sajad Kadhim Khalaf; [2023]
    Keywords : QSPECT; Amyloidosis; ATTR; LVMI; Recovery Coefficient; SUV; Calibration;

    Abstract : Background: Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of misfolded proteins, known as amyloid fibrils, in the myocardium. Quantitative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (QSPECT) utilizing 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy has the potential to assess ATTR-suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). READ MORE

  4. 3. The GSK-3 inhibitor has no effect on production of IL-1β in LPS- and Nigericin-stimulated THP-1 macrophages

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Jessica Halan Söderberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is the body's natural defense reaction and is known since ancient times. The inflammation is divided into two main phases, acute and chronic inflammation dependent on the process and cellular mechanisms of the inflammation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Study of fibrillation processes of amyloid-like β-lactoglobulin protein

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Jose Nixon; [2021]
    Keywords : bLG; Thioflavin-T Fluroscence; Fibrillation; bLG; Thioflavin-T fluroscens; fibrillering;

    Abstract : Bovint β-laktoglobulinprotein (bLG) är ett litet globulärt protein med 162 aminosyrarester, som vanligtvis finns i mjölkvassle. Under sura förhällanden dissocierar dessa dimera proteiner och bildar amyloidliknande fibriller. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fluorescent molecules as probes for characterization of amyloid β fibrils

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Denisse Marginean; Ebba Hellstrand; [2021]
    Keywords : Alzheimer s disease; amyloid beta; amyloid; fluorescent probes; fluorescent ligands;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the world and the World Health Organization has recognized AD as a global public health priority. One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaques formed from amyloid β (Aβ) fibrils. Aβ is formed when amyloid precursor protein is cleaved by secretase enzymes. READ MORE
