  1. 11. Investigation of the gene expression landscape of human skin wounds

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Yuen Ting Cheung; [2021]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; wound healing; lncRNA; long non-coding RNA;

    Abstract : Wound healing is a complex physiological process. Effective wound healing enables the skin barrier function to be restored once the skin is injured. However, due to the complex nature of wounds, the mechanisms underlying tissue repair are still poorly understood. READ MORE

  3. 12. Interactions between Rho-ROCK signaling and the tumor microenvironment in neuroblastoma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Adena Pepich; [2021]
    Keywords : cancer and oncology; pediatric cancer; neuroblastoma; rho ROCK signaling; rho-associated kinases; tumor microenvironment; cytotoxic T cells; neuroblastom; pediatrik onkologi; rho-kinaser;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, emerging from cells of the neural crest. In Sweden, neuroblastoma accounts for 20 cases out of all, 300-350, pediatric cancer cases each year (Barncancerfonden 2019, Turup on behalf of Cancer Centrum 2019). READ MORE

  4. 13. 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

  5. 14. Simulations of Astrocyte Induction by Transient Overexpression

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jonas Petersson; [2019]
    Keywords : astrocyte; overexpression; sox9; nfia; nfib; n-cor; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Astrocytes are one of the most common types of cells found in the central nervous system, and they play an important supportive role for neurons and other brain cells. In order to obtain astrocytes for medical or experimental purposes, some protocols enable the production of astrocytes from stem cells, but it is of interest to be able to produce astrocytes from fibroblasts, a cell type found in the skin.

  6. 15. Cancerresistens hos den afrikanska nakenråttan (Heterocephalus glaber)

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

    Author : Maja Öhlin; [2018]
    Keywords : nakenråtta; Heterocephalus glaber; fysiologi; cancer; tumör; neoplasi; cancerresistens;

    Abstract : Nakenråttan (Heterocephalus glaber) är ett däggdjur som lever hela sitt liv under jord i eusociala kolonier i östra Afrika. Den är jordens mest långlivade gnagare med en maximal livslängd på över 30 år, vilket är häpnadsväckande i jämförelse med 4 år hos en mus i samma storlek. READ MORE
