  1. 11. Non-coding RNAs as therapeutic agents : The future of therapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Hederoth Gustaf; Lyngå Olivia; Rudqvist Olivia; Jeppsson Rebecka; Hogolof Saida; Svanberg Sara; Kauppinen Veera; [2022]
    Keywords : Non-coding RNA; Oligonucleotide therapeutics;

    Abstract : Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) therapeutics are based on short oligonucleotides, both naturally occurring and artificial, which target RNA in a site-specific way to modulate gene expression. As of today, 12 synthetically produced ncRNA-based drugs are available on the market in the US and Europe, and there is a possibility of more to be approved in the near future. READ MORE

  3. 12. Lactobacillus spp. in honey bees of southwestern Sweden : A feasible gut-analysis via long-read 16S nanopore sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Erik Xinxo; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Together with other pollinating animals, honeybees maintain an ecological stability and pollinate both wild and cultivated plants, contributing to the preservation of natural ecosystems and overall security of food production. Unfortunately, honeybees across the world are dying at a dramatic rate, which is very dangerous for the biosecurity of this planet. READ MORE
