  1. 11. Engineering Vascularized Skin Tissue in a 3D format supported by Recombinant Spider Silk

    University essay from KTH/Proteinteknologi

    Author : Savvini Gkouma; [2020]
    Keywords : skin; BSE; bilayered skin tissue equivalent; 3D; in vitro; model; vascularized; recombinant spider silk; FN-4RepCT; dermis; epidermis;

    Abstract : Skin is an organ with a complex structure which plays a crucial role in thebody’s defence against external threats and in maintaining major homeostatic functions. The need for in vitro models that mimic the in vivo milieu is therefore high and relevant with various applications including, among others, penetration, absorption, and toxicity studies. READ MORE

  3. 12. A method for unbiased analysis of fluorescence microscope images of Alzheimer’s disease related amyloids

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Samuel Haglund; [2020]
    Keywords : Amyloid beta; Luminocent conjugated oligothiophene; Hyperspectral image analysis; Alzheimers disease;

    Abstract : Alzheimer's disease is a widespread disease that has devastating effects on the human brain and mind. Ultimately, it leads to death and there are currently no treatment methods available that can stop the disease progression. READ MORE

  4. 13. Affinity of Alpha-Synuclein and Lipid Vesicle Interaction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Ahmed Masaada; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Alpha-synuclein is a protein involved in several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, where it has been observed to form amyloid fibrils or Lewy bodies. However, how or to what extent alpha-synuclein is involved is not known. READ MORE

  5. 14. Mechanical properties of films made of faba bean protein nanofiber and non-fibrillated protein

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Alice Dunge; [2019]
    Keywords : Faba bean; amyloid; fibrils; meat substitutes; elasticity; stiffness; proteins;

    Abstract : The production of livestock puts a huge strain on our ecosystem and the planet. It is the largest source of greenhouse gases and it causes loss in biodi-versity and pollution of water. One way to reduce these environmental dam-ages is to decrease the intake of meat and increase the intake of plant-based proteins. READ MORE

  6. 15. Fluorescent fusion proteins as probes to characterize tau fibril polymorphism

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

    Author : Max Lindberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease AD ; amyloids; FRET; tau; MAPT; fibrillation kinetics; seeding; fusion protein; EGFP; ECFP; EYFP; ThT; X-34; BTD14;

    Abstract : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a large and growing problem and while we today lack a full understanding of this disease, we know that the protein tau and the amyloid fibrils it forms play a central role in its development. We also know that these fibrils can have different morphologies in different diseases and that fibrils produced in vitro not necessarily adopt any of the morphologies found in patients. READ MORE
