  1. 31. The future of viral vectors for gene therapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elias Ekstedt; Inna Fryckstedt; Hanna Hyllander; Josefin Jonsson; Elin Ring; Felix Wærn; [2021]
    Keywords : Gene therapy; adenovirus; alpharetrovirus; baculovirus; adeno-associated virus; lentivirus; herpes simplex virus; foamy virus; gammaretrovirus;

    Abstract : Gene therapy is a fast growing technology that offers treatments for genetic diseases. The method is based on introducing genetic material into a patient to replace the disease-causing gene, using a vector. READ MORE

  3. 32. Development and validation of a novel quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Josefine Sundgren; [2020]
    Keywords : HIV-1; qPCR; Octapharma; Taqman; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. READ MORE

  4. 33. Analyses of microbial community in nutrient solution with biofertilizer and risk assessment of establishment of pathogens

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Julia Södergren; [2020]
    Keywords : Biofertilizer; hydroponic; 16S rRNa sequencing; challenge testing; calorimetry; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. READ MORE

  5. 34. Bacteria - based self - healing mortar with bio - plastic healing agents : Comparative analysis on quantification and characterization of self-healing by various experimental techniques

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Rahul Roy; [2020]
    Keywords : Mortar; crack; autonomous healing; bacteria; bioplastic; lactic acid derivatives PLA ; alkanoate derivatives AKD ; internal crack geometry; quantification; characterization; statistical analysis; Bruk; sprickbildning; självläkning; bakteriebaserademedel; bioplast; mjölksyrederivat PLA ; alkanoatderivat AKD ; inre sprickbildning; kvantifiering; karakterisering; statistisk analys;

    Abstract : Crack formation in concrete structures due to various load and non-load factors leading to degradation of service life is very common. Repair and maintenance operations are, therefore, necessary to prevent cracks propagating and reducing the service life of the structures. READ MORE

  6. 35. Analysis of single cell RNA seq data to identify markers for subtyping of non-small cell lung cancer

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Veena K. Reddy; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Single cell RNA technology is a recent technical advancement used to understand the cancertumorgenicity at single cell resolution. In this study we have analyzed the scRNA data from thenon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) dataset to facilitate the early identification of NSCLCsubtypes namely, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC).
