  1. 6. Assessment and evaluation of heterogeneity in data from immune infiltration spatial niches in lung cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Mahta Keivani Najafabadi; [2023]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of organized immune cells and finally Infiltraterate where immune cells dispersed among and in direct contact with tumor cells (INFILT).

  3. 7. Developing Wastewater-based Early Warning System for the Detection of Disease Outbreaks and Emerging Variants with focus on SARS-CoV-2

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Ayda Kiyar; [2023]
    Keywords : wastewater-based epidemiology; early warning system; RT-qPCR; normalization; SARS-CoV-2; avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi; förvarningssystem; RT-qPCR; normalisering;

    Abstract : Under covid-19-pandemin har avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi (WBE) använts i stor utsträckning som ett komplement till kliniska tester över många delar av världen. Detta projekt syftade till att detektera och kvantifiera belastningen av Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) i avloppsvattenprover med hjälp av Revers transkriptas kvantitativ polymeraskedjereaktion (RT-qPCR).

  4. 8. Microfluidic flow splitter shape optimization for high throughput

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Christoffer Papamoustos Palmér; Joel Linder; [2023]
    Keywords : Genetic algorithms; Lab-on-a-chip; Optimization; Acoustofluidics; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. READ MORE

  5. 9. Fibroblasttillväxtfaktor-23 (FGF-23) – en möjlig biomarkör för osteoartrit hos katt?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Pernilla Hägg; [2023]
    Keywords : artros; biomarkör; FGF-23; katt; osteoartrit;

    Abstract : Osteoartrit är en kronisk obotlig ledsjukdom som är vanlig hos katt. Trots att osteoartrit är associerad med smärta kan sjukdomen hos katt vara svår att diagnosticera. READ MORE

  6. 10. Evaluation of manual and robotic techniques for Micro-RNA extraction in early sepsis diagnosis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Tjorven Plontke; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the spread of infectious diseases throughout the body, resulting in a dysfunctional immune system response. It includes a wide range of symptomsa ffecting multiple organs, making accurate diagnosis challenging. READ MORE
