  1. 6. How Topography Influences the Fate of Human Neural Progenitor Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Jacob Karlström; [2020]
    Keywords : biomaterials; cell culture; electrospinning; nanofibers; 3d; neural progenitor cells; in vitro models; nanotopography; blebbistatin; mechanotransduction; nucleus analysis; immunocytochemistry; differentiation; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Novel biomimetic three-dimensional scaffolds have emerged over the last decades, and are promising for applications in regenerative therapies, as well as in in vitro disease modelling and drug testing. Thanks to their added dimension, these scaffolds are able to more accurately mimic the topography of native cellular microenvironments compared to traditionally used two-dimensional culture substrates.

  3. 7. Silk's sweet spot: untangling the requirements for artificial silk extrusion using a biomimetic approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Rodrigo Sanches Pires; [2019]
    Keywords : silk fibroin; injectability; extrusion; hydrogels; soft matter mechanics; biomimetic progressive acidification; silk self-assembly; thioflavin t; physical chemistry; biofabrication; spectroscopy; silk spinning; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Up to this date, only a few silk hydrogels were reported to be injectable. Of these, none are truly biomimetic, and are instead comprised of blends with limited amounts of silk. Hence, no truly silk-based hydrogels exist as of today. READ MORE

  4. 8. Bioactivity testing of dental materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Alexander Eriksson; [2019]
    Keywords : Bioactivity; bioactive glass; soaking experiment;

    Abstract :  Ever since Hench et al. first discovered bioactive glass in 1969, extensive interest was created because of the materials ability to chemically bond with living tissue. In this project the bioactivity of three different compositions of the bioactive glass Na2O-CaO-SiO2 have been studied. READ MORE

  5. 9. Triazine-based adhesive : An adherence study on clinically used metal surfaces

    University essay from KTH/Ytbehandlingsteknik

    Author : Tomas Romson; [2018]
    Keywords : Triazine; titanium; steel; silane; phosphonic acid; quinone; carboxylic acid; thiol-ene;

    Abstract : When a material is adhered onto a specific surface it is relevant to know how to make thematerial stay on the surface. By investigating different primers to use with a triazine-basedadhesive, further improvements to using the adhesive on metals can be achieved. READ MORE

  6. 10. Τοwards a Synthetic Tryptophan Aminotransferase

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Kleomenis Tsimpos; [2017]
    Keywords : aminotransferase; biomimetic; catalysis; catalyst; molecular imprinting; molecularly imprinted polymer; transition state analogue.;

    Abstract : The synthesis and evaluation of a molecularly imprinted polymer has been undertaken using an oxazine-based tryptophanamide transition state analogue (TSA) as template. An efficient route to the synthesis of oxazine-based TSAs for the reaction of pyridoxamine and indole-3-pyruvic acid has been established, with yields of up to 80%. READ MORE
