  1. 1. Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 1-phenylethanol and C2 threitol derivatives as non-pyranose galactose-mimicking inhibitors of Galectin-3

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Qrystal Cruz Giron; [2023]
    Keywords : Galectin-3; Galectin-3 inhibitor; 1-phenylethanol; C2 threitol derivative; galactose-mimicking inhibitor; organic chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Galectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization of a novel EPHB2 R155C mutant with respect to its proteolytic cleavage by TF/FVIIa

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ece Akcan; [2021]
    Keywords : cancer; colorectal cancer; CRC; ephrin receptor; EPHB2; tissue factor; TF; TF FVIIa; cleavage; cell repulsion;

    Abstract : EPHB2, an ephrin receptor (EPH) from receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, is one of the substrates for tissue factor (TF) - coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) complex and it is cleaved in its ectodomain. EPHB2 cleavage is important for ephrin receptor (EPH) - ephrin ligand (EFN) signaling and cell repulsion. READ MORE

  4. 3. Combining the GW Approximation with the Hubbard I Approximation for strongly correlated materials

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Torsten Strunck; [2019]
    Keywords : GWA; GW Approximation; HIA; Hubbard I Approximation; Hubbard-I Approximation; Hubbard model; DMFT; Dynamical Mean Field Theory; strongly correlated materials; electron correlations; solid state physics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the GW approximation (GWA, Green's function G times screened interaction W) and the Hubbard I approximation (HIA) are combined in a non-self-consistent one-shot calculation to determine the electronic structure of a one-dimensional strongly-correlated model. The scheme was chosen to incorporate both screening effects through the GWA and strong on-site correlations through the atomic HIA. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simulation of proteins in crowded environments using coarse-graining methods

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Björn Linse; [2016]
    Keywords : Proteins; atomistic model; multi-scale modelling; Monte Carlo simulation; relative entropy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Of increasing interest in the field of protein modelling and simulation is the effects of crowding. In a living cell, large molecules can take up 30% of the cell plasma volume, and affects the folding and dynamics of proteins. READ MORE

  6. 5. A model for immunotherapies against small, solid and motile tumors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Emelie Flood; [2014]
    Keywords : Cancer; tumor; agent based model; delay differential equation; immunotherapy; Matlab; computations; CTL; cell motility; adhesion; repulsion; Metropolis algorithm.; Medicine and Health Sciences; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Most of all deaths from cancer are due to tumor metastasis, specifically 9 out of 10. Metastasis is associated with a number of factors, including cancer cell motility, tumor adhesive property and cancer shape. As a result, the dynamics, development and consequent prognosis of tumors are still not well characterized. READ MORE
