  1. 1. Do Nanoparticles Affect Neuronal Function? - Establishment of a Microelectrode-Based Assay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Markus Nylander; [2020]
    Keywords : Microelectrode array; gold nanoparticles; silver nanoparticles; immunocytochemistry; scanning electron microscopy; human neural progenitor cells; human induced pluripotent stem cells; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nanomaterials are used extensively in industry and daily life but comparatively little is known about the possible health effects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are two metal nanoparticles that have been intensively studied. READ MORE

  3. 2. Idiopatisk meningoencefalomyelit hos hund

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

    Author : Erik Jönsson; [2017]
    Keywords : granulomatös; nekrotiserande; MUO; idiopatisk meningoencefalomyelit;

    Abstract : Idiopatisk meningoencefalomyelit delas upp i formerna: granulomatös meningoencefalomyelit (GME), nekrotiserande meningoencefalomyelit (NME) och nekrotiserande leukoencefalit (NLE) och drabbar framförallt små och yngre hundar vilka får centralnervösa symptom med hög dödlighet. Det saknas idag kunskap om varför och hur sjukdomarna uppstår och syftet med studien är därför att redogöra för vilka tänkbara etiologier som finns beskrivna för sjukdomen, vilka patologiska förändringar sjukdomarna ger upphov och hur diagnos ställs utifrån detta.

  5. 4. Characterization of exosomes from glioma cells under hypoxia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Katarina Tomazin; [2015]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Exosomes are cell-secreted nanosized (30-200 nm) membrane vesicles that contain cytosol proteins and nucleic acids (mRNA, miRNA and mDNA). They have been characterized to be released by most cell types and thus, represent an important part of cell-cell communication. READ MORE

  6. 5. The IL-33/ST2 pathway in CNS : Traumatic brain injury and brain tumour

    University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Xiaofei Li; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a dual function cytokine. It is a member of the IL-1 family and it acts as a pro-inflammatory factor (18 kilo Dalton, 18 kD) like other cytokines in IL-1 family. IL-33 is also a transcription factor (32 kD - form) which can suppress or activate gene transcription in diverse cases. READ MORE
