  1. 1. The Influence of Macrophytes on Aquatic Microclimate

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och botanik; Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning (BIG)

    Author : Julia Elliot; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : How terrestrial vegetation influences microclimate and what effects this has on associated ecosystems is well studied, but it is less known if and how aquatic macrophytes affect their microclimate. In this study I therefore aim to investigate the question of how aquatic macrophytes influence their microclimate, and how these effects in turn may affect associated aquatic organisms and ecosystems.

  3. 2. Development and Evaluation of an Enzyme-Based Sunscreen

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

    Author : Karolina Eriksson Torfgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzyme activity; UV-filter; Protease; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), specifically of UVA and UVB, has been associated with the development of both photoaging and photo-carcinogenesis, potentially leading to cancer. The use of sun protection in the form of UV filters is known to minimize these damages. READ MORE

  4. 3. Single-cell RNA-seq mapping of chicken leukocytes : An investigation into single-cell transcriptomics as an alternative to traditional immunological methods within non-traditional model organisms

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi

    Author : Matilda Maxwell; [2023]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; scRNA-seq; avian; immunology; Seurat; leukocytes; chicken; gallus gallus; 10x genomics; PCA;

    Abstract : The immune system is a complex infrastructure where many cells interact with each other and perform duties depending on their type and function. When using traditional immunological methods in studying non-traditional model organisms, such as birds, challenges arise. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterisation of resistance in wheat to Fusarium Head Blight complex

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Harleen Kaur; [2023]
    Keywords : Wheat; Pathobiome; Fusarium Head Blight FHB ; Phenotyping;

    Abstract : The plant pathobiome is described as a set of microorganisms that interact with each other and with the plant biotic environment to influence disease progress. Recent studies have led to the realisation that a disease in a plant is not always associated with single organisms rather is a result of complex interactions between various taxa, the host, and the environment.

  6. 5. Compounds screening for the identification of novel drug to improve the Knock in efficiency mediated by CRISPR-Cas9

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Evangelia Anagnostou; [2023]
    Keywords : Genome editing; Knock in; HDR; CRISPR-Cas9; screening; NHEJ;

    Abstract : Genome editing is an exciting field that allows for the precise modification of an organism's DNA. One of the most advanced tools in this area is CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9), which creates a DSB (Double-strand break) at a specific location in the genome.
