  1. 16. Alkaline Protein Extraction of Oat Bran and Oat Endosperm Flour - the Effect of pH during Extraction and Precipitation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Bella Nielsen; Alva Rodhe; [2021]
    Keywords : Oats; Protein; Alkaline extraction; Protein extraction; Plant-based proteins; Oat protein; Oat bran; Oat endosperm; Iso-electric precipitation; Food engineering; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : An increased understanding of the negative impacts of animal-based proteins, on both environment and health, has led to a rise in the demand for plant-based proteins. To meet the demands, conventional crops must be efficiently utilized. READ MORE

  3. 17. Promote neuroprotection and axonal outgrowth in the central and peripheral neural system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Elin Petersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Spinal cord injury; interleukin-1 receptor antagonist; excitotoxicity; qPCR; dorsal root ganglion.;

    Abstract : Acute spinal cord injury is often caused by collisions with motor vehicles, falls or violence. This injury could potentially lead to paraplegia or tetraplegia, causing great economic and personal loss. The patophysiology is biphasic, with primary and secondary mechanisms. READ MORE

  4. 18. Characterization of Agarose Microdroplet Properties for Acoustic Trapping of Encapsulated Bacteria and On-chip DNA Extraction

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Tinde Höjer; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to investigate if the translation of a DNA extraction protocol to on-chip, for the purpose of reducing the total assay time, would be possible. This was to be enabled by encapsulating bacteria in hydrogel microdroplets that would then be acoustically trapped in a microfluidic system. READ MORE

  5. 19. Compound meniscus implant prototypes : Bench test performance of knitted casing to contain, fixate and mechanically stabilize cell seeded gels

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Maria Ydrefors; [2021]
    Keywords : Knitting technology; meniscus replacement; hydrogel; Artelon®; bioprinting; biomechanical properties;

    Abstract : Meniscal tears are the most common intra-articular injury of the knee joint. Due to the avascular zone with limited blood supply, treatment of the injury is a complex process. Today, research on the development of efficient treatments and meniscal replacements is of increasing interest. READ MORE

  6. 20. Permeability of fluorescently labelled proteins in silk-based skin equivalent

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Gabriel Chumpitaz Chavez; [2021]
    Keywords : skin equivalent; recombinant spider silk; fibroblasts; keratinocytes; permeability; Franz cells; fluorescence; bovine serum albumin; sodium fluorescein salt;

    Abstract : Development of methods for studying drug delivery systems is of great significance for the improvement of topical formulations. Active compounds for topical drug delivery are often formulated into gels and creams, that can be applied onto skin surfaces. READ MORE
