  1. 1. Detection and quantification of post-translational modifications in non-invasive samples : Phosphoproteins as biomarkers and a market analysis of protein quantification technologies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sammi Baudin; Hillevi Fjellström; Aron Kraft; Erica Lamberg; Måns Rosenbaum; Hanna Sjöstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Phorphorylation; Proteomics; Biomarkers; Phosphoproteins; PTM; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; Cancer; xMAP; SIMOA; NULISA; PEA; ELISA; Mass spectrometry; SomaScan;

    Abstract : Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can be a sign and/or cause of disease. These modified proteins have the potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnostic purposes. However, research in the field is limited. READ MORE

  3. 2. Testing Coagulation Potential of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Aortic Stenosis Patients on Human Cardiac Spheroids

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

    Author : Muhammad Nafiz Ikhwan Bin Nor Fuad; [2023]
    Keywords : Extracellular vesicles; human aortic endothelial cells; tissue factor; TNFα; coagulation pathway; cardiac spheroids;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases have always been the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Aortic stenosis, which is a kind of cardiovascular disease has a high prevalence in elderlies that are 75 years and older. Currently, the only available treatment would be valve replacement surgery.

  4. 3. Comparison and optimization of extracellular vesicle (EV) capturing on functional thin films for their molecular profiling

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Prattakorn Metem; [2023]
    Keywords : extracellular vesicle; plasmonic nanohole array; atomic force microscopy; fluorescence analysis; extracellulära vesiklar; nanohålsuppsättning; atomkraftsmikroskopi; fluorescensanalys;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer encapsulated nanoparticles which have emerged as an excellent source of biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancer. However, they are highly heterogeneous in their molecular compositions which remains a major challenge hindering the utilization of their biomarker potential. READ MORE

  5. 4. Utsöndrade extracellulära vesiklar (EV) från hästens spolmask Parascaris univalens och deras immunmodulerande roll

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

    Author : Karin Tufvesson; [2022]
    Keywords : Extracellulära vesiklar; Parascaris univalens; hästens spolmask; ST2; DUSP1; PCR;

    Abstract : Under det senaste decenniet har ett nytt forskningsområde vuxit fram som handlar om kartläggning av extracellulära vesiklar (EV) från parasiter samt hur de kan påverka värddjurets immunförsvar. EV är lipidmembranförsedda blåsor innehållande bland annat proteiner och nukleinsyror och som används för cellkommunikation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of Stiffness Measurement Methods on Extracellular Vesicles

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik
