  1. 1. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
    Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identification of Immunological Targets for Brain Cancer Immunotherapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Zhenda Wang; [2022]
    Keywords : Cancer immunotherapy; brain cancer; neoantigen; MHC HLA; TCR;

    Abstract : Background Cancer immunotherapy has yielded many successes. Yet to some hard-to-treat brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), it still lacks substantial improvement. Neoantigens resulting from mutations in malignant cells are the key targets for employing adoptive cell therapies. READ MORE

  5. 4. Classification of sequence tags from tandem mass spectrometry spectra using machine learning models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Júlia Ortís Sunyer; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Motivation: Proteomics is the large-scale study of all the proteins found in a cell, tissue or organism. In the last few years, and thanks to the development of mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, proteomics has led the research in several fields, ranging from medicine to agriculture. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lipoteichoic acid extraction from plasma : Chromatography techniques utilizing truncated derivates of antimicrobial peptides

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Gustav Sedelius; [2022]
    Keywords : antimicrobial peptides; chromatography; hemoperfusions; lipoteichoic acid; plasma; Sepsis;

    Abstract : With increasing incidence rates aligned with poor prognosis; sepsis represents one of the biggest challenges in modern health care. It is a multifactorial syndrome defined as organ dysfunction caused by disturbed systemic response to an infection. READ MORE
