  1. 1. The GSK-3 inhibitor has no effect on production of IL-1β in LPS- and Nigericin-stimulated THP-1 macrophages

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Jessica Halan Söderberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is the body's natural defense reaction and is known since ancient times. The inflammation is divided into two main phases, acute and chronic inflammation dependent on the process and cellular mechanisms of the inflammation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Simulate Bacterial Movement through Chemotaxis

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Rasmus Durgé; Johan Ek; Jonny Fredriksson; Emil Logren; Mohamad Melhem; Rik Muijs; [2021-09-14]
    Keywords : chemotaxis; computational biology; agent-based simulation; Unity engine;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the development of an agent-based simulation of E. coli chemotaxis in C# and the Unity game engine. The agents use a mathematical model of the chemical pathway underlying chemotaxis to produce either forward-motion (running) or rotation (tumbling), in response to the concentration of ligand in their immediate environment.

  4. 3. Chemotaxis in E.coli Bacteria

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Fredrik Stenkvist; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bacterial chemotaxis refers to bacteria's way of moving towards more hospitable environment. The bacteria does this by taking point-wise measurements of the amount of chemical attractants/repellents in its surroundings and comparing them, using the bacteria's built in "memory" the methylation level, to determine if the current direction is good or not.

  5. 4. Tumör-associerade makrofagers inverkan vid juvertumörer hos hund

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Martin Kläschen; [2019]
    Keywords : tumör-associerade makrofager; TAM; makrofager; juvertumör; CMT; hund;

    Abstract : Tumör-associerade makrofager (TAM) är makrofager som under påverkan av tumörceller polariseras mot ett stadie där de frisätter tillväxtfaktorer, cytokiner, kemokiner och enzymer som främjar tumörtillväxt, kärlnybildning, invasion och metastasering. Det har konstaterats att ett högre antal TAM i juvervävnad på hund är associerat med en sämre prognos jämfört med hundar med ett lägre antal TAM. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transcriptomic profiling of marine bacteria between development and senescence phases of a phytoplankton bloom

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Dennis Amnebrink; [2018]
    Keywords : Transcriptomics; bacteria; microbes; DOM; marine environment; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Bacterioplankton provide important ecosystem functions by carrying out biogeochemical cycling of organic matter. Playing an important role in the microbial loop they help remineralize carbon and nutrients. Bacteria also interact with phytoplankton during phytoplankton blooms. READ MORE
