  1. 21. AFM study of Micro Fibrllated Cellulose, (MFC) in controlled atmosphere

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik

    Author : Jonatan Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : AFM Micro Fibrillated Cellulose MFC Controlled Atmosphere Humidity Swelling;

    Abstract : In this thesis, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is used to characterize Micro Fibrillated Cellulose (MFC) produced by two different methods according to their size and shape. For one of these MFC-types, their interaction with the humidity in the atmosphere is investigated and their swelling is calculated.

  3. 22. Studies of Aβ aggregation, toxicity and cellular uptake

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Chiara Beretta; [2016]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid-beta; fluorescence; cellular uptake; labeling;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia observed in the elderly. The symptoms of the disease are provoked by neuronal loss caused by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. The molecular processes that underlie AD’s pathology are at this day not well understood. READ MORE

  4. 23. Production of Dialdehyde Cellulose and Periodate Regeneration: Towards feasible oxidation processes

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper

    Author : Elisabeth Höglund; [2015]
    Keywords : Dialdehyde cellulose; periodate regeneration;

    Abstract : Cellulose is an attractive raw material that has lately become more interesting thanks to its degradability and renewability and the environmental awareness of our society. With the intention to find new material properties and applications, studies on cellulose derivatization have increased. READ MORE

  5. 24. Assembly of whey protein nanofibrils into macroscopic filaments

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Kamada Ayaka; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recently, it has been reported that the increasing number of plastic are significantly floated in the sea, because they are difficult to be degraded naturally. This lack of biodegradability requires us to develop new environmental-friendly material replacing current plastics. READ MORE

  6. 25. Characterization of antibodies specific for amyloid proteins

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Andrine Skullerud; [2015]
    Keywords : Amyloidosis; Congo red; Immunohistochemistry; Polarizing microscope; Slot blot;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis is a group of diseases caused by proteins that have lost their correct three-dimensional conformation and instead assemble into insoluble fibrils in various tissues and organs. Today, more than 30 different proteins that can give rise to amyloid fibrils have been identified. READ MORE
