  1. 1. Indocyanine-green fluorescence imaging to detect anastomotic insufficiency after esophagectomy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Love Kildetoft; [2024]
    Keywords : Fluorescence; Imaging; Indocyanine-green; ICG; Esophageal cancer; Physics; Photonics; Image Analysis; Blood Perfusion; Anastomotic leakage; Anastomotic insufficiency; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. READ MORE

  3. 2. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Katarina Norrby; [2023]
    Keywords : Amyloid; AA amyloid; Amyloidosis; AA amyloidosis; C. Elegans;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis are diseases caused by misfolded proteins that have transformed into extracellular insoluble amyloid fibrils. One type of amyloidosis is AA amyloidosis caused by AA amyloid and diseases connected are Rheumatoid arthritis and Tuberculosis. C. Elegans is a nematode used as a model organism and in this experiment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of strategies for construction of protease libraries in yeast.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Sidharth Jaya Sankar; [2022]
    Keywords : Yeast; GFP-fusion technology; protease; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Proteases are a group of enzymes that are involved in breaking down larger proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and they are used in various applications. In this project, the potential of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as host for the construction of protease libraries is evaluated. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessment of promoter regulation in Pseudomonas putida using GFP and flow cytometry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Luka Cululejevic; [2022]
    Keywords : applied microbiology; Pseudomonas putida; promoter characterization; aromatic compounds; vanillin; guaiacol; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Lignin is found in all biomass and is an abundant natural source of aromatic compounds. It has the potential to serve as a renewable raw material for a variety of chemicals currently derived from fossil fuel sources such as muconic acid, an important platform chemical. Kraft lignin is a waste stream from the pulp and paper industry. READ MORE

  6. 5. 3′-end fluorescence labelling of long RNAs using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Johannes Lidberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Physical biochemistry; Fluorescence; In vitro transcription; RNA; Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase; Nucleobase analogue; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Through recent years, RNA has rapidly gone from mainly being known as a passive information-carrying molecule within the central dogma of molecular biology to becoming the active ingredient in multiple therapeutics, such as in vaccines and potential drugs against cancer. However, one of the main challenges with RNA as a therapeutic is efficient delivery to cells. READ MORE
