  1. 16. Mathematical Modelling Of Cortisol Response To Exercise

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Arpitha Honnal Venkatesh; [2022]
    Keywords : Cortisol; Exercise; Mathematical model; CRH; ACTH; CORT; Cortisol model; HPA axis;

    Abstract : Exercise is widely recognized for its role in the health management and prevention of several chronic diseases. Exercise is considered as a stimulus in the form of physical stress to which a group of anatomical structures in the human body responds by generating a stress response that enables certain physiological modifications essential for restoring systemic homeostasis.

  2. 17. Generative Modelling and Probabilistic Inference of Growth Patterns of Individual Microbes

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

    Author : Shashi Nagarajan; [2022]
    Keywords : Generative modelling; probabilistic inference; Nuisance Variable Elimination; Variational Inference; microfluidic single cell cultivations;

    Abstract : The fundamental question of how cells maintain their characteristic size remains open. Cell size measurements made through microscopic time-lapse imaging of microfluidic single cell cultivations have posed serious challenges to classical cell growth models and are supporting the development of newer, nuanced models that explain empirical findings better.

  3. 18. Factors and mechanisms associating the mobilisation of Ca2+ with the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Maria Panagiota Theodorou; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that play a critical role in the regulation of inflammation and the inflammatory responses against pathogens. NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR-and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) is among the molecules involved in the homonymous and well-studied NLRP3 inflammasome that accounts for the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) 1-β and 18.

  4. 19. GSK-3 and ROS (reactive oxygen species) inhibition modulate Vimentin expression

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ragad Hassano; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : When exposed to pathogenic stress, cellular processes and survival are dependent on cytoskeletal proteins for structure and organisation of the cell to adapt and maintain homeostasis during inflammation. Vimentin is type III cytoskeletal protein, with an extensive cytoplasmic meshwork, across the cell and regulate the cell structure and cellular space and expressed strongly under tumorigenic events.

  5. 20. The importance of the two- and three component systems WalRK and VraTSR for antibiotic resistance and phage susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Jack Abrahamsson; [2022]
    Keywords : MRSA; Vancomycin; VISA; phage; bacteriophage; Staphylococcus aureus; antibiotic resistance; chemical engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. READ MORE
