1. Hormonal Influence on the Proliferation Potential of C17.2 Neuronal Progenitor Cells
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : The brain is arguably the most complex organ of the body: Controlling muscles, maintaining homeostasis, processing information. It has the longest developmental period of any organ, and hormones are essential during its development. READ MORE

2. Combining doxorubicin and gemcitabine with targeted drugs as a treatment option for high-risk neuroblastoma
University essay from KTH/ProteinvetenskapAbstract : Neuroblastom är en barncancer som uppstår ur det sympatiska nervsystemet och drabbar omkring 15 barn i Sverige varje år. Högriskvarianten är associerad med mycket hög dödlighet och risk för återfall, vilket tros ha att göra med att tumörernas ovanligt heterogena sammansättning tillåter resistenta subpopulationer att motstå konventionella behandlingsmetoder.

3. Ligand-stimulated cleavage of PDGFR-beta
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (α and β) are included in the family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The dimeric PDGF ligands bind to the PDGF receptors and this results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, and thus activation. The autophosphorylated receptor dimer activates numerous signaling pathways. READ MORE

4. Exploration of Radar Cross Section Models and Distributed Sensing Techniques in JCAS Cell-free Massive MIMO
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) technology enables the sharing of infrastructure, resources, and signals between communication and sensing. However, studying the performance and algorithms using appropriate target reflectivity models for detection poses a significant challenge. READ MORE

5. Identifying effects of adrenaline and dopamine binding on the beta2-adrenergic receptor structure and function using machine learning
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : The beta2-adrenergic receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor, involved in several physiological processes, which enables signaling through the cell membrane. To study the effect of dopamine and adrenaline binding on the receptor structure and function, we used machine learning methods applied to data from molecular dynamics simulations. READ MORE
